And the engine in the video is a different engine, although in my van and thats the ancillaries i would have used on the rebuilt engine (although not now as they are DF) i can either go DG Manifold carb etc or afte...

See this is what i mean, you don't miss a thing!!

yes mine has early cooling system where as smiffo has the late

ahhhhh yes my FB pics, i don't have access to FB out here so cant remember the exact pics but yes the engine on the engine stand is the one i'm rebuilding.

So thank you itchyfeet :) your future input and patience is greatly appreciated :) That Video i put on FB is of a different engine (the knock knock blo...

haha yes that me, sorry paul. I come up with ideas and think out loud alot!! so my missus send me some pics, i can just make out the number 025101375C So i have DG heads at least :) I will ask the machine shop to confirm the case no. today. So looks like someone put a DF carb on? is the inlet manifo...

what you doing with your old knackard carb, i may be in the market for one?

Ok, so ive sweet talked my missus to take some pictures while im away, (that doesnt sound too dirty does it!!) Only the heads are at home so will be able to tell what they are at least, the case is away at the machine shop to be measured and cleaned so wont know that part number until im home (am i ...

F**K

So my DG rebuild might actually be a DF rebuild!

Are the bottoms ends the same?

is there part numbers stamped on the heads?

Cheers Paul, Don't know if you have connected the dots and realize who i am? You've given me a lot of advice on the WBX Engine FB page. I'm at work and they don't allow access to FB so I've been quiet on there (And the fact i'm at work so don't have any questions to ask regarding my rebuild :)) I th...

Hi all you helpful lot, What carb have i got? Pic wont load - Stamped on the side is - SOLEX 34PICT-5 It came on the van when i got it, been told its off a bay, so assuming its not the correct one for my engine i guess im in need of the correct one? Best place to look? 1983 T25 1.9 Petrol DG W/C

Yeah sorry 1.9dg wbx

Ok I'll get some shims and re measure

Brought the engine with a supposed rebuild but no proof and it's now questioning the quality of the rebuild if the end float play hasn't been set

Seems to move quiet a bit currently but as I say that's without shims seal or flywheel

How much play should there be with shims and fly wheel removed

Seems to move quite a bit so don't wanna no spend money on shims etc if there's a deeper lying problem

Hi All, So I have took a punt on a 2nd hand engine, Supposedly been rebuilt but never fitted, I know it turns over but thats about it (No Proof of rebuild) Price was right so i took the gamble :) Its a 1.9 DG and will be fitted to my 1983 panel (like for like swap) What checks should i/Can i carry o...

hmmmm bike carbs!! i think thats the way forward!! im guessing as how they are fitted originally on the bike the engine angle shouldnt matter as it will be a panel van its going in just need to start a list of whats needed so far from what ive worked out, get a MK3 2.0 8v golf gti as the donor car? ...
