#1172: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Oct 30, 2016 8:14 pm ---- Source of one leak found.
#1173: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Nov 13, 2016 5:55 pm ---- Bit more slow progress. Inlet cam housing has been off and resealed and a new cam seal was fitted. New water pump has been fitted too. A new Continental cambelt kit has now been fitted with new pulleys and tensioners. The sprung tensioner is a bit of a fiddle even when holding it in position with the allen key the pointer kept moving away from the correct position.
I'm not 100% how the tensioner works and the instructions state that it shouldn't be turned by a whole turn. I'm not sure if I have turned it completely or not so I think I'll spend the £38 from the Peugeot dealer and buy another one just in case! It looks ok just now, belt seems tensioned enough but best try again!

#1175: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Nov 13, 2016 9:09 pm ---- It must be really hard with the engine in the car. It's probably easier with 2 people.
I used loctite 5980.

#1177: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Nov 18, 2016 8:23 pm ---- wow your still finding things to do? I'm just getting mine back to usable condition. I haven't used it for 8months
#1178: Re: Project sleeper Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sat Nov 19, 2016 9:44 am ---- I am still experimenting with the solid tensioner from an XU engine, apparently it stops the belt whip at high RPM. I just haven't got the right belt length sorted yet
#1179: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Nov 19, 2016 10:54 am ---- I did think about how a solid tensioner would work and how it fits. I've got a tensioner from Peugeot now. Bit expensive and even the bolt was £6! I put the original tensioner back on the other night and we got the position correct first time.
Ordered a flywheel from Pug1off which are made by TTV in the UK. When that's on and the cam bolts are threadlocked in place the engine will be ready to go back in.
#1180: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Nov 19, 2016 2:25 pm ---- what flywheel did you get mate? I had one fitted when they built my engine.
#1181: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Nov 19, 2016 2:53 pm ---- The road one. 4.4kg I thing it weighs. I will be checking when it arrives.
#1182: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Dec 02, 2016 4:03 pm ---- Finally got the flywheel fitted. This needed some attention from the machine shop. So much for being ready to fit.
#1183: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Dec 02, 2016 4:19 pm ----
#1184: Re: Project sleeper Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Fri Dec 02, 2016 7:58 pm ---- What was up with it? Whats the weight difference?
#1185: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Dec 02, 2016 8:54 pm ---- It weighs 2.2kg less than the original. The hole for the crank dowel was drilled 0.5mm too far away from the hole. So it wouldn't fit. The dowel makes sure the flywheel sits perfectly in position to make sure the timing is perfect. There's more free play on this one so I just hope it's in exactly the right place rotationally.
