[Jedro]

well just fitted the nova front koni's. the dampers are a lot longer than the current corsa jamex with tigra spax ssx springs and before i dropped the car it looked like it'd sit higher but it doesn't, infact its quite a bit lower at the front now...

i got the proper heated seat switches... still need the surround for them

:)

[pie]

how hard was it to take the center off?

i try in the g/fs corsa but give up as it didnt wana play ball lol

[Jedro]

fairly easy tbh mate, awkward to get to the screws behind the vents and even more awkward to put them back in like.
a magnetic screw driver will be a big help though... iv had it out about 5 times now... think its staying put lol

[Jedro]

i had water leaking onto the tray under the glove box so...

i pulled it into Dorothy's garage cos it f-f-f-freezing outside
(Dorothy is Gareth C's bit on the side)

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg694/scaled.php?server=694&filename=abcd0014yz.jpg&res=medium
re-sealed all these even though it looked like it was the screen wash bottle bolt, so that got a good sealing aswell
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg521/scaled.php?server=521&filename=abcd0016a.jpg&res=medium
and seen as when i changed to a under-scuttle screenwash bottle and it seemed to leak out i done these...
cleaned out and sealed

like this

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=238883

but without hacking it to bits haha... i think its a poor guide myself but explains how its removed i suppose

i.e i got the screwdriver through the vents without damaging them or folding them rite down like shown in the link.

its fiddly thats for sure and even more awkward to put back together but if you've got a magnetic screw driver you may find it easier

although its ALOT of work ahead im chuffed to bits with it :D:D

as far as im aware its a early 20XE from a GTE (there's no C on the block)


fair enough its been stood for 3 years + (well greased/oiled) and its unknown mileage, i dont think its that bad...

it came with pistons but he said they wont fit as its been bored, but how much by? i do not know!

still need a lot of bits before it'll be anywhere near a complete engine but it gives me the incentive to take my time and do a good job of it.

who knows... it may not even go in this corsa!?!

plans are for now:

smash the baby valvers puddings in :lol:
get a engine stand
get a decent torque wrench
find out the bore and plan what pistons are going in
clean a lot of bits and possibly paint were necessary
new rings
new main bearings and big end bearings
ARP bolts

basically start at the bottom and work my way up

im not aiming for top race spec (just a very healthy 20xe) so in a way im hoping the bore isn't too much or il be looking at 'out of jeddy budget' pistons etc..
:lol:

[Jedro]

rite, not realy an update, more so house work lol

these came home

cheers Gareth C :)

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg818/scaled.php?server=818&filename=abcd0002kh.jpg&res=landing

this got cleared out and shoved in the loft

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg819/scaled.php?server=819&filename=abcd0003cy.jpg&res=landing

i then set up camp :lol:

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg813/scaled.php?server=813&filename=abcd0006u.jpg&res=landing

introduced the block to her new home

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg210/scaled.php?server=210&filename=abcd0004r.jpg&res=landing

got some freebies from other mates

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg35/scaled.php?server=35&filename=abcd0005de.jpg&res=landing

:thumb: spot on :thumb:

now its just a case of clean clean clean what iv got until funds start getting back up...

[Jedro]

oh and a 87mm piston that Gareth gave me seems to fit quite snug so until i measure the bore its looking like its going to need 87mm pistons... to be confirmed

[Jedro]

few cleaned pics and that..

il let the pics do the talking as i tired, up early and my heads up my ****

[Jedro]

Its about time you kicked that baby lump out ;)

dont even think it'll be going in her yet mate haha. il see whats available when its ready... isn't going to be quick build like

[david dixon]

dont rush it mate!

[Jedro]

nahh, itl not get rushed...

instead of throwing £50 here and £100 there at the corsa, the engine will be getting the love, once its almost complete the corsa will probs get broken for bits or something.

[david dixon]

Sounds good, get it stuck in wmwmwmwmwmwm's nova haha

[Balley]

Nice little project you seem to have:). Them 20Xes are getting rare now from what i can work out. Love the interior!

[pie]

looking good buddy

[Jedro]

Sounds good, get it stuck in wmwmwmwmwmwm's nova haha


give him time, il wait till they've done the arches and that and he's got bored... then il make a cheaky offer and a bj and il get it off him hahahahahaa



Nice little project you seem to have:). Them 20Xes are getting rare now from what i can work out. Love the interior!

looking good buddy


thanks again pie



not really an update today. just been poking about at it basically... cleaned pick up pipe, put cams back in head briefly and put all the bits for the top half to one side for now

[Jedro]

the sport can still pull birds when its dirty :lol:

[david dixon]

Hawk?

[Jedro]

hahaha, american eagle i think mate.


update

decided seen as im wanting to do a good job of the engine i rang about and found a garage local enough (at Stockton) that said he'l check it all out for me.
he's going to check to see if the blocks decent and clean it all out, check the crank (possibly balance it if needs be), check the head and possibly clean it....
i dropped it off as he was closing so give him a few days to get back to me with some £numbers and we'll get started.
no point throwing a load of money that im short of at an engine thats scrap so thought id best get it checked by a pro

decked my car haha
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg841/scaled.php?server=841&filename=abcd0011n.jpg&res=landing

also

when i got back i had 30mins ****ing about with one of the L piece's i have.

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg832/scaled.php?server=832&filename=abcd0009v.jpg&res=landing

[Jedro]

place thats got my engine has just contacted me...


£35 for pressure testing and checking the head wich he says is really good chuffed


hes checked the block and confirmed that the bore is done well and fairly recent and measures the size to run the 86.5mm pistons...


he's now removing the crank to check that aswell


brilliant!!


iv now started putting SOME bits of MEC up forsale for cash plus standard as iv not long insured and taxed her so il get my use out of that

[Jedro]

rite then, the bairn kept guard while i went into auto services to collect the engine :lol:

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg718/scaled.php?server=718&filename=photo0006vv.jpg&res=landing

he's chemically cleaned the head and pressure tested it... nothing wrong wiht that :)

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg696/scaled.php?server=696&filename=photo0010z.jpg&res=landing
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg823/scaled.php?server=823&filename=photo0011ie.jpg&res=landing

the crank already had b.new standard un-run bearings fitted to it :)
hes also checked the crank was balanced rite aswell and it was :)

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg41/scaled.php?server=41&filename=photo0012ha.jpg&res=landing

so its back on its stand for now

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg405/scaled.php?server=405&filename=photo0013r.jpg&res=landing

im really pleased with it even though theres still miles to go

[Jedro]

...oh and these came...

[Andy]

Are you going to run +.5 oversize pistons?

[Jedro]

yep

[pie]

were did you get the oil pump seal from dude ?

[Jedro]

all seals are from autovaux mate

[Jedro]

core plugs ARRRGGGHHH :mad:

after a good solid hour of wrestling like fcuk i managed to get 1 core plug out the front... literally got to the point of full body weight on a pry bar to get the little twunt out.... iv started on them now so no going back :look:


http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg684/scaled.php?server=684&filename=photo0035q.jpg&res=landing

what was left of the little cnut!
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg708/scaled.php?server=708&filename=photo0037f.jpg&res=landing

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg543/scaled.php?server=543&filename=photo0036w.jpg&res=landing

wish i had just left them if im honest but the plans are to get them out, strip every nut and bolt off the block, bearings out, pressure wash it, paint it red and start from a single piece of metal (the block). il put the new core plugs in once its painted...
had enough for tonight. people made it sound easy removing them but these dont want to budge

[david dixon]

Should have left the core plugs mate, no need to change them and they never blow out! (well hardly ever)

[hotrod]

Lookin good mate!

Did you just paint the headlining with normal rattle cans or is it special paint?:confused:

[Jedro]

Should have left the core plugs mate, no need to change them and they never blow out! (well hardly ever)


a little birdy told me it was a good idea hahaha




Lookin good mate!

Did you just paint the headlining with normal rattle cans or is it special paint?:confused:

did all the interior upper plastics with poundstore primer and paint and the roof lining with paint mate. the upper plastics are still mint even after having a 10ft trampoline bashed in the back hitting off them but the roof cloth has a few marks here and there, would probably be better off doing it with some type of fabric if your planning doing it




oh, also won a ZLET/LEH oil pump on the bay :D

im thinking about doing this with a 1.7td pick up pipe... after searching the net for a bit this seems like the easiest/cheapest option that will surve its purpose.... the 1.7td pick up is the rite diameter and has the rite flange to connect to the pump, just needs extending

like so

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a171/stoat_lover/Astra%20Pics/IMG_1713.jpg


unless you can sort something out david??

[hotrod]

cheers was thinking bout doing it on the cally coz the headlinings got a few feet prints in it now! ;) lol

[Jedro]

wey being honest im not 100% happy with the painted roof cloth... looked great at first and doesnt look too bad now but when people catch it getting in and out the back its left slight marks

[Jedro]

rite, todays update

picked up a tape player (YES!! A TAPE PLAYER) for you younger lot of you that dont know what they are, they are brilliant haha!!
got it free off someone local and thought it'd come in great for the old tape collection iv just found upstairs :lol: check ittt!
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg687/scaled.php?server=687&filename=photo0045e.jpg&res=landing

then i released some frustration on the core plugs and got all the fronts and one of the backs out.
they were that hard to get out and i hadnt made a start on the last two on the back so i thought best just leave them ones alone...
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg708/scaled.php?server=708&filename=photo0046f.jpg&res=landing
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg717/scaled.php?server=717&filename=photo0047fc.jpg&res=landing

then after a good rub down and check over i took it up the unit were i help out from time to time and got the diesel pressure wash on it... spent a good half hour plus doing that...
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg853/scaled.php?server=853&filename=photo0048x.jpg&res=landing

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg28/scaled.php?server=28&filename=photo0058mf.jpg&res=landing

and then started looking at the new core plugs from autovaux which seem like quite a challenge to get in so i think il leave it for today...
http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg864/scaled.php?server=864&filename=photo0059.jpg&res=landing

[david dixon]

Looking good so far mate

[pie]

looking good dude

[Jedro]

cheers lads. at work **** shifts this week so probs not much happening with it although id love to get them core plugs in

[Jedro]

front core plugs fitted :D

cheers to my mate browny for the help

turns out the back ones iv got are too big hence why i couldn't get it in...il get on the phone to autovaux again tomorrow.
i wondered why they sent me x4 for the back aswell when theres only 3 ffs

[Jedro]

[Jedro]

the sport went back to sport seats today, it was great driving to work early this morning with only one seat in hahaha...

the seats have minimal wear and the passenger ones comes with a *rare* storage draw thing...

had to clean all this crap out first (no after pic, i forgot)

not much of an update but had a spare slot this morning so...

bought these

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg546/scaled.php?server=546&filename=photo0084us.jpg&res=landing

old v new, ZLET v XE

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg233/scaled.php?server=233&filename=photo0085kk.jpg&res=landing

gave it a quick clean up and fitted a new seal

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg210/scaled.php?server=210&filename=photo0086vv.jpg&res=landing

oiled all the crank and bearings ready for it to go in (this weekend hopefully)

thats all for now :)

[Jedro]

update

gasket sealed this

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg814/scaled.php?server=814&filename=photo0095y.jpg&res=landing

fitted the new crank bolts, toque down to 50nm, then stage 2 was +40 degrees and then minus 60 degrees

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg254/scaled.php?server=254&filename=photo0096j.jpg&res=landing

also put loctite on the threads

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg37/scaled.php?server=37&filename=photo0098f.jpg&res=landing

once all the crank was in and spinning smoothly i whipped it off the stand to do the crankshaft oil seal (easier to get in at it)

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg687/scaled.php?server=687&filename=photo0103d.jpg&res=landing

fitted it, small amount of gasket sealer round the outer edge and a quick fingerprint of oil on the inside

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg16/scaled.php?server=16&filename=photo0101r.jpg&res=landing

then i check the cogs inside the ZLET/LEH pump, seem fine by eye, gave it all some fresh oil and put it back together and fitted it with a new gaskets and seals etc..

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg204/scaled.php?server=204&filename=photo0104s.jpg&res=landing

basically just used half a litre of fresh castrol gtx 10-40 on stuff

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg163/scaled.php?server=163&filename=photo0105sa.jpg&res=landing

only thing i had to change to fit the actual oil pump was 1 bolt because the socket wont fit in on the normal 10mm head bolt

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg850/scaled.php?server=850&filename=photo0107n.jpg&res=landing

and iv still got this issue to sort out...

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg28/scaled.php?server=28&filename=photo0106e.jpg&res=landing

think its next on the 'to do' list

I hope you haven't used semi/fully synthetic oil jedy boy....

[Nova_Tek]

Are new crank bolts a must? Are they stretch bolts or normal?

[david dixon]

They not a must, they can be reused unlike rod bolts.

[Jedro]

the bolts were new as far as im aware but i got new ones again to be sure...

why not semi synthetic davey boy? i used fresh 10/40 castrol gtx on the bearings and in the pump

[Gareth_C]

I think your suppose to use mineral oil to run it in mate but surely a drop won't hurt? Failing that I have som engine assem lube you can use

[Jedro]

their in now mate, dont fancy taking them back out and having to renew the bolts again... il remember for the rods and that...

what damage could/will it cause?

[david dixon]

it wont bed in mate, when you fill the engine with oil put mineral in!

[Jedro]

take back out then? renew bolts again?

[Andy]

It will be fine,i used normal engine oil,just to build,then filled up with mineral oil.

[Edd]

Are you meant to use mineral first on a fresh engine then ? Even if assembly lube is used ?

[david dixon]

Yes use mineral, engine lube is only for inital start up, mineral oil is a bit more harsh and will allow the piston rings to bite into the bores! as soon as you put semi in thats the engine ran in as it will no longer bite in.
