Ok it been a couple of weeks and since the engine was test fired we found an oil leak which has been diagnosed today and unfortunately it could not be fixed today which is delaying getting the car back on the ground.

so the oil leak is/was coming from the oil cooler seal, this was a new honda seal replaced when we started to put the block back together but unfortunately it looks like it move whilst it was being tightened and when removed today its was split in two :( ....

the gear linkage pin was finally back in and the wiring for the resister box changed to a better solution
the rad stay was fixed
coolant pipes fitted with exception of the rear pipe as i need to get a new one made
we fabricated an air intake and heat wrapped it
relocated the fuel filter and created a bracket to secure it
relocated map sensor
did a coolant bypass mode and vacuum mode
secured the hotwire earth leads
fitted the defi water temp pipe into the top pipe

still need to fabricate throttle cable bracket and fix oil leak to refit the drive shafts and mounting kit

hopefully next week we can get all four wheels back on the floor and get all the lubricants in the system and start testing it and checking the timing etc as its a tad rough at the moment.

i see youve swapped over the engine mount - did that all work out ok?

oil cooler orings can be a pain - i had a few goes at it before giving up and taking it to a garage - they stuck it up on the ramps and fixed in under 10 mins :x

on 4th gens you can use an old style timing gun to set the distributor timing - dont know if your OBD1 tho...

oh sorry forgot we even did that and it wasn't on any updates :roll: well you were all absolutely correct different stamps mean nothing they were identical :oops: not a problem i stand corrected and so does my buddy, it must be a difference with the Sol mount points. so we drilled the engine mount bracket and created a bracket to fit over it so everything was solid, i used you filled mount though so it was worthwhile in the end and a lesson :idea:

Well to be honest we drokked the fitting of it. The seal looks to have slipped whilst fitting and there was a weak point in the casting which we have spotted once off so that would have failed also boooo don't ask me the make it was from the states was supposed to be good....

We only noticed this when we were filling all the lubricants for some long runs :(

New pump fitted with new bolts also as we found they had been stretched and when we tried to reuse one the head snapped off! So now we're are ready to retime Saturday reinstall and some long test runs
