The interior is stock blue atm, and looks like shit, so that will be dealt with as well along the way.
I guess I forgot alot, but atlest you get a hint of what Im about to get into..
Taking pictures isnt my strong side but I'll do my best to please all readers on this forum. Hope you'll enjoy this thread
This is it how it looks for now. all eventually rust will be dealt with later on!
Old engine is finally out.
The new one
Started with the disassemble.
It went fairly well, just some issues with the glowplugs . 5 of them came out as planned while 1 didnt. The body broke but thankfully a friend of mine drilled it out.
Valves out.
Nice project!
Are you buying the flywheel from bakaxeldelar that has many bolt patterns? one of them fits the sachs 765
The bakaxeldelar FW is very tall. I had to shorten my slave cylinder rod and the pivot ball AND clearance the back of the release lever AND shave 1.8mm off the flywheel to keep the release bearing from pushing on the clutch fingers too hard all the time.
The threads for 765 plate are not deep because they have to stop at the starter ring. Surfacing this FW will shorten the already short threads. The whole thing is kind of a pain in the ass, especially when used with the 765 clutch.
It would work easy if you could make a spacer between the trans and engine.
think it will be the fw from 190 petrol if im not wrong. Im leaving those problems to F.R.A.S , he has good knowledge in that matter.
