Hi there. I am JW and owner of this vehicle :) Meantime started her for first time. But had no fuel in the lines, fuel levels in carb bowls not aligned, no choke. but she runs!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFf-07zIuA&edit=vd Short 2nd vid: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iKvS-dwWouo

Here is a photo: long bolts everywhere now, 3 are shortened

Discovered they are not to short, but the copper HG and expanding of head on heating pulled the thread out of the block from 1 bolthole. The short rear bolts have a shorter flexing effect and thus pulled out the thread. Fortunately the bolthole in block wich is very deep, is pulled out. Will...

First problems: bubbles air in coolant... After retorquing head discovered a loose headbolt... To short... damn

Yes, 85 rear and 100 front. It went about 8mm in the block, and with first assembling had not the feeling the bolts where too short. But threaded holes are deep enough for 100mm rear so will do that. Head must go off and cleaned and so on, maybe new HG. (have another one in copper)

Thanks for tips. Used hylomar, and it is good stuff: because the head was virtually air tight, with one or more completely loose headbolts!!! Damn. Tried to retorque the bolts but with the 3rd bolt discovered the problem. Anyone here: what are the Headbolts lenghts ? The front are 100mm and...

No the car has all suspension mods allready, koni shocks and so on. But... discovered a problem today; there is air bubling in the coolant, damn. Not much but still. We will retorquing the head, if its still bubling another headgasket has to go on.

Did today a first drive with it. Had to be careful engine must break in first. But when accelarating from 2000 revs, 2nd gear, the front weels started to spin and torque steering. Incredible smooth running engine it is now. Allmost silent when warm an at idle. (750 revs)

Got an skool HKS powerfilter. Just painted it. Busy with radiator mounting, fuel pump issues (need a extra inline FP) and other problems to solve.

:haha: Smoking Jamaicans dont show their stuff on i-net Used the 2EE gasket as moulding for HG, added only 1 extra waterhole pass through on cil 4. 2EE and 4EFE share the same HG design

I wanted first a 5EFE in the EP71. With dismantling the bought engine discovered the damage on the crank, bearings and 1 rod, 1 journal completely melted, so with that knowledge did not want to regrind the 5E crank. I was screwed with that engine. Then i putted the 5e head just for one moment...

Thanks! The crankshaft was in a very good shape, could be re used. (all journals -0.01mm) Polished the journals with 1000 grain waterproof sandpaper & thin oil to allmost high gloss: http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-BCT3XKXK.jpg Ignition is from 5EFE, complete engine loom from a EP81 is braided...
