Bitter sweet news

My first bought B-engine is cracked:


I came up with the idea for a tool- a set of flanges, to put on the engine, in order to pressure test the water canals, to see if they were leaking, using regular fosset pressure:


On the bottom you plug in the water hose, and drain the air from the valve on the flange on the top, where the water pump used to be.
The above is for a model B head, but I even started on a set for the model A:


I guess this is a good and a bad news: the good is, that the tool works, the bad is, my engine is broken! The water flows up right next to the valve guides:


So, next step is to mount a new conecting rod in the old model A engine, get that going in the car, and find out, if this engine can be fixed.

Keep 'em kruzin!

First mock up of the A/B to M40 project

Has been thinking of putting a Volvo transmission in my PU, so here is the first mock up that - sorry for the lousy pictures!

And here is one of the reason, I haven't posted in a long time. Have been working on the fourdoor and my own tudor, and here's what I saw, when I removed the valve cover.

So I'm now sure, that the head on that B-engine wasn't the only thing wrong with it - no wonder why I couldn't get it to run propperly! :-(
