Hi. I am building a 1700 xflow after my other engine went bang. Now I’m no professional but I like to think I have the basics covered. I am going to post pictures here of the process and welcome your opinions on where I could be doing something differently.
I appreciate this won’t be as exciting as a cosworth but for me it will be!
Some of below is coming off the old engine but I have spent £1000 on new parts
711m block acid cleaned and re bored
+110 pistons with deeper valve pockets
crank polished
244 cam
standard 1600 conrods
big valve head
duplex chain
steel rocker gear
high capacity oil pump
twin 40s
accuspark coil and dizzy
couple of questions to start with.
I am using Lucas engine assembly line. Any good?
Thrust bearings the correct way around?
i have lubed the back of main bearings. Is that good practice?
Do use assembly lube on main cap bolt threads?
