Here goes nothin....
Been planning this for a while, but it was supposed to be a winter project. Wasn't quite ready yet. KEP adaptor parts have been sitting here. Timeline moved up because of a failure. Had a chirp that turned into a BAD miss, valve seat issue on one cylinder.  Had a fresh 1.9 AAZ diesel sitting in my storage trailer that had never been fired. (honed, rings, bearings, injection pump reseal). "new" engine was destined for my daily beater . Same engine in the beater is getting a little tired, I've put at least 350,000 km on it and the compression is getting down. Still runs okay though. Swapped the "new" engine into the beater. 16 year old son is learning...  |

How critical is it to have the crankshaft of the engine on the same alignment as the previous engine? I currently have the engine in the car, but I'm running into a snag. the back end of the valve cover is touching the sheet metal that separates the engine compartment from the trunk, and I'm still over an inch lower than where I should be to have everything line up the same and allow me to use the stock crossmember at the front. There's already been a hole cut out of the sheetmetal by the previous owner to allow access to a distributor on a V8 he had in it with a nice patch panel held in place with a screw. I can cut the hole bigger if need be.
Other option is to find all the parts to tip the engine over farther, the adaptor will allow me to do it. There's an oil pan and pump available, but the pump is for the gas engine and is smaller than the diesel oil pump. Not my preferred option... Also shift s the weight more off centre. |
