engine replacement

[John Abbott]

I bet Jill is always finding them all over the house (can hear her saying" Craig do know where this came from?")

it pulled up straight once the bolts were done up tight...

i had a jack holding up the back end of the engine (no gear box yet).... with some soft wood between.

im fanatical with the bagging and labeling of bolts and lining them up on a board before i reassemble anything.

a friend has a 173 with m20 that he wants gone, the motor was not running but it has a larger/different shaped bell housing. (has rectangle breather slot where the bell and motor meet) so i will rat all bits of it and store them in oily rags.

he has a very nice second hand flywheel with zero wear that goes with...

but on this 173 it has a fuel pump with no bulb..... he said it must come of a later model commodore?

its flat on top like some one undid the screws on a bulb one to remove the bulb and the put a  flat plate back in.

ring a bell with anyone? any advantages with this sort of fuel pump?

I had to buy an new fuel pump for the camper, it had a glass bowl one on it, but the shop only had a late model one with no glass bowl ($50 cheaper though) - it was for a comodoor and worked fine.

Now the ef'n carby - well thats a different story

Fuel Pumps

No difference..i had to replace my old glass fuel pump....the one usually on red motors with a new one

the newer ones were i think ...off blue/black? engines

Same job done..just cant watch your fuel looking all pretty thru the glass bowl..

you may find now that the bolts are done up that you might have to just release the jack a little and take some pressure off it as you'll find the motors don't sit sq

from memory we had to do the same on daves camper motor
