New Amateur Engine Rebuild Featuring a DJ2.1

[silverbullet]

After much fannying about l decided to put aside the stainless pipe. It is impossible to get the bends correct to matched the other spigot. So reverted to a spare metal one

That why I said that you have to tweak the stainless pipe to make it line up with the elbow. They are all the same i.e. close but not right. No excuse for it really.

I'm sure that I have detailed it in more than one engine build topic.

I tried. But bend one way and it catches crank pulley.
T'other way, it sits against oil pump cover.
There is simply not enough room. The pipe is to thick in girth to adjust by bending. The only way is to crush pipe, where it crosses between pump cover and crank pulley, by about 5mm and re-angle the end to match elbow pipe.
What about engine mounts carrier? Will that fit okay?

Re: engine mount carrier, think that I said that it needs a couple of bevels filing on it to ensure that it sits on the three bolt bosses properly.
I'll take a pic...

Ignore the machined off web, that's an Oetti wbx6 thing.
