My engine rebuild.

I zoom therefore I am.

I don't think there was any work that could have been saved. front cover needed to come off. oil pan needs to drop with the front cover. Believe me I did it the easiest less work involved way.
I went through the various diagnostic steps to see where the problem was coming from. Found the problem, now I'm working on a solution.

Well in order for me to do it properly and fit my own standards it did. Cleaning off the sealant on the exposed section of oil pan and front cover then re sealing wasn't in the books for me.
The whole thing comes off gets cleaned and prepped then new silicone is applied and seated. That's kinda how I do things.

/\ there used to be a product called 'piston seal ' . Theory was you never had to replace your rings . Just pour the **** down the sparkplug hole and all would be good .
In my teen yrs a mate had a ford prefect 100E and we thought we would give this stuff a go . If we had done it today the terrorist squad would have been called out . We smoked out the whole neighbourhood .
Anyway , we neglected to realise that our engine was a side valve . Need I say more .

Update time...
Doing the oil pan now. functional oil injectors are installed d585 coils are going on tomorrow. finishing up everything else tomorrow all fluids are going back in.
I have a leak near the oil filter hopefully it was from a pinched oil filter gasket and nothing else...
