Sally's Engine

Hi all, latest update, engine bay and engine cleaned, sump been off, one big end pulled, and put straight back, no problems at all, sump was clean no sludge, oil filter changed, crank spigot locator plate bored out to 22 mm & 22 mm sleeve fitted to fluid flywheel, was hoping to be ready for weekend but Nissan say gearbox first motion shaft oil seal is 6 day delivery = early next week:nenau:nenau, have tried other spares agents but say nissan part only, cant believe that, if anyone can help it is made by NOK number BH2345G, was not willing to put box back without changing it as leak later from here undoes all we are doing, will put a couple of pics on later, rocker cover gasket and wheel stud will be here Friday, Rick ps will try local gearbox co tomorrow.

the caravan makes a ideal stop over for me on the way home because i cant physically drive down there and back in the same day , plus it saves the £75 fee haven charge for a clean after someone has been in, and i get to check the state of the caravan :thumb2

 

[briggie]

i also have a " present " for rick and maggie ( not sure about swifty lol ) .. down in the cellar i have a bottle of chateau neuf du pape i was saving for our wedding , but as sheila says , weve been engaged for 15 years another few wont make any difference :lol:lol

 

[briggie]

OK Pete looks like you come down Friday, pick up Sally, Stay Friday night, meet other club members Saturday, maybe stay Saturday night? go off Sunday to Van the rest is yours, only a suggestion, even if we get Sally done for this weekend does not sound as though it will be a lot of good if you can not get here till next WE, and it gives us more time to get all the bits that are needed, if that sounds good I will leave it to you to page other members as it is not in my line, I have never done so much typing on the net as the last week or so, so I will leave it in your capable hands, Rick

On the lathe.

That looks like an antique, years since i've worked on an old conventional lathe (brings back memories).
All cnc in our place now, what kind of tooling do you use Rick, i may be able to make some dissapear mysteriously if you know what i mean.:augie
