Well, I don´t know about testing before winter. It would be ok if I could get to drive few meters

Cut bonnet a bit to get it fit.

Proper handbrake to get rear wheels locked.

Heres a good tip for you.

If you do not want to blow any more head gaskets in the future, I would pull out those pistons and put hem in a lathe and turn 1,1mm of the piston crown.
That way you can use the rigid B205 MLS head gasket fitted to production Trionic 7 engines.

Thanks for the tip, but I am going to use that original head gasket because I don´t want lower compression ratio. Also I have heard that it is OK over 600hp. And after all that old head gasket was OK, there were just so much ethanol mixed in oil that I thought head gasket was broken.

Now I bought a crank case evacuation kit. I was wondering if it is worth assembling? Exhaust nozle should probably be placed after lambda sensor, but how much? Is few centimeters enough?

Some color into the engine bay

[keme]

Set of Enem 268/9.6 camshafts

[keme]

Once again started to take engine off. Reason this time is leaking crank shaft sealing.

[keme]

up´n´away

[keme]

Crank shaft sealing changed. Now waiting for Volvo valve springs, Enem camshafts and adjustable cam sprockets to be assembled.

[keme]

Got valve springs changed to a bit stiffer.



Tool for valve spring change



Volvo springs seam a bit beefier.

[keme]

Got main bearings and con rod bearings changed.




Some wear on con rod bearings lower parts.
