I had a dream to install a 6, that was a few years back and I even got a 2,2T motor but the project didn't get off the ground, anyway as I have run out of things to do I thought I might resurrect the idea.
According to the PO the motor came out of a running car and I want to make sure that it runs before I commit to installing it. What do I need to do to get it running? I do not have a spare gearbox for the starter or an oil tank is there an easy way to fire it up without (or using substitutes for) these parts and what about the electrics, there is a coil but I think I need more than that? Any help much appreciated as I know nothing about these engines. PS: It looks like the motor has been opened up at some time there is a lot of sealer on the case seam behind the flywheel, do you think its been opened?   |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
Numbers are useless at this point, all I'd be looking for is that it doesn't have a dead cylinder. Most peeps have a simple compression tester, if you have a leak down tester great!
As far as borrowing anything from a FLAPS for me that's 2 one hour round trips so at least 2.5 hours wasted, sometimes I forget that other members might be a bit closer to town. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
