I had a dream, It was about a 6 Options

[DavidSweden]

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?

My 2.2t engine started like that after sitting 18yrs ,all the usual leaks did the following,
resealed chain cases after fitting chain savers,
checked chain ramps @ the same time as well as chain tension,
resealed triangle of leaks and replaced thermostat "o"ring,
cleaned all the oil off the barrels and case till pristine ,
resurface intake and exhaust valve cover,they all warped !!,
inspected cam lobes and rocker shaft position,
replaced front pulley and rear crank seals,
new seals for oil cooler after pressure test then full clean,
replaced one cam oil feed line other one was new ?,why would someone only replace one side ?,
reset valves twice to same result and cleaned out exhaust ports of carbon when on TDC,
replaced 7 exhaust studs,rest were good,
rebuilt/ upgraded carbs with parts from Italy,
replaced worn carb throttle linkages joints and bushes,
had altenator rebuilt and fitted new ground strap to case,
fitted heatexchanger air hose blanks to fan cylinder cooling cover as I was running headers.


I may have missed some things but you will get the idea,I felt I was a step ahead as my engine showed evidence of a top overhaul which was a nice find.
Some stuff I picked up from pics posted ;
that flywheel isn't great and will need a full resurface to spec,the starter ring gear is very worn also,may be cheaper to find a better one ?,replacement ring gears are expensive after all.
The crank seal looks like a VR brand one ? trust me they are a bad fit and will leak,best choose is Kaco or Elring they just fit better,as me how I know ?.
An out of car test run is a huge undertaking as mentioned but that's up to you of course.
Don't place too much importance on cold test compression test unless you know otherwise,my motor started straight up and blew carbon crap and oil smoke then finally settled to smooth nice running engine.
Good luck.
