SpringDon Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Just finished my 12j so i thought I'd share. And ask a question. The valve stem caps, mine doesn't have them. The manual says fit where applicable. How do you know when they're applicable? Bum! That didn't work. Next go.

ditchman Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) very very nice.....................valve caps.....i order up a rebuild set from JSF with my Reg' and that is what they included......what i will do is check the amount of screw i have left on the tappit adjusters when i do the clearance............ top job there... maybe.....valve caps with single springs....no valve caps with double springs.....what do you rekon ?

malkiserow Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Well SpringDon, you make Ditchie look like a rank amateur when it come to paintwork. Top Job Very festive colours..... would make a fine table decoration with some holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Springdon painted the engine to match the desiel filter.........now that is dedication...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringDon Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Could be the springs but I would guess the valve stem length would matter more. Maybe it's a way of compensating for wear but then would they be included with the new valves? I seem to get valve clearance without screwing the adjuster right in, so I'll put that worry aside until it starts. I like the patina on mr.ditchman's block but my castings are new so I had to pick a colour. (Ford classic red, as it happens) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringDon Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Springdon painted the engine to match the desiel filter.........now that is dedication...... Erm, well yes, I suppose. Hadn't really noticed that. But now you mention it, that seems like a plan to carry through the vehicle. Pity, I was quite fond of the bronze green.

SpringDon Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Virtually new I suppose. New block, head casting, rings, rockers and bearings. Still cheaper than a recon engine but when I started, I had really banked on the castings being u/s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringDon Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 If you're taking off the flywheel housing, you might want to consider the 200tdi gasket err1440. It's a lot neater than lots of sealant. Thanks for the valve cap info. Don't know why the manual couldn't have mentioned that and saved me more worry. Don't worry about mistakes as long as they're not repeated. Even I made a mistake. Once. A long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Sooo i thought to myself...i will put the flywheel on today....WRONG..........the "muppet " had not put the crankshaft oil seal in.....in fairness you can if you are very very very careful drift it in...the small seals usually take a socket or something similar...but this one needs to be pressed in... 1st pic scene of the crime.. 2nd pic "prying" the case off the block....this i tell you needed 6 very sharp wedges to get it moving...after all that degreasing and quality mastic it had stuck and seal 100%....wot a bitch to get off.... it had stuck very well and compressed perfectly...100% seal....well at least that had worked !

ditchman Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 pictures and verbage getting mixed up again............you will have to sort it out yourselves perfect seal and the only way to start again is use a very sharp scraper done on an oilstone.........then degrease again........

ditchman Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 the seal i took out ...the scraper is hard black plastic...so i have changed to a medium soft rubber seal...if there is any ovality it will follow it better.. block now degreased AGAIN !...and new and old together......
