OST-070: 7AGE for an N2 Levin

[oldeskewltoy]

A quick look at the "new" bottom end before it gets closed up.... can you spot any new balancing??





So with the proper head gasket on order, some of the details need further planning...


For one... what to do with a smallport head drain on an engine that didn't have a receptacle for the drain..... so a bit of work to be done on the MRP oil pan.....




Adding a new bung.... and a bit of a trim to the flange - partially to look good, but also to allow a full parameter weld - this bung is not going to leak as it is welded on the inside, and the outside..





Also, as this is a 7A, the MRP pan needs a small spacer to keep the rods away from the internal windage tray.



I have found that when closing up the bottom end, that stacking, could just be stock pan, and windage tray, or this combination - spacer and MRP pan, that using some dowels really helps keep things cleaned (fewer FIPG fingers) and easier to assemble




more to come....
