Here is the
rocker cover & spark plug cover, as you can see their covered in engine wax
and in generally poor finish. To bring up to the finish shown below was a
many hours hand polishing them with T-cut to reveal the darker powder coated
finish seen in the pictures.
Rocker Cover & Spark Plug
Cover
Rocker cover
finished. This spark plug cover was a brand new one that I had to buy from
Vauxhall as car 737D did not have one fitted. Again even with a brand new
item I still T-cut the finish back to the darker powder coat look to match the rocker cover. The last picture shows the power
steering crossover pipe that again I hand polished to give a chrome look.
Fan Shroud & Power Steering
Pipe
This is the
fan shroud, again its covered in a horrible engine wax so by T-cutting it
back by hand brings out the nice shiny original plastic. The stickers
were a bit worse for ware as well so I managed to obtain new items to
replace them. The starter motor loom in the last picture was also overhauled
& re-taped.
Water Pump, Oil Pump & Timing
Case
The water
pump, oil pump and timing case were all in good mechanical condition so a
simple clean up job was required to bring them up to scratch.
The two pipes
in the first couple of pictures move the water from the chargecooler unit to
the water pump, again a simple clean up was all that was required. The main
water radiator was cleaned of debris & then sprayed with radiator paint.
Last pics show the thermostat and powder coated injector rail with new
injectors.
Ignition Parts & Starter Loom
New coil packs
& board were obtained, note the 1-6 labels were also swapped across form the
original units (2nd pic). These were then mounted on the chromed fixing
plate. Leads from first engine being cleaned although new ones were obtained
for the second engine.
