V4 Rebuild

Postby Mk1-nightmare » Sun Feb 22, 2026 1:18 pm

Hi Folks
Can anyone help me please
I’m rebuilding a V4 Essex from a box of bits and I’m just stuck on 1 part. Where it goes and what’s its purpose
I have looked through all the reference books I can get hold of but can’t find anything
Can you please tell me what it is and where it fits. I seem to think it’s something to do with the rear of the engine

Thanks

Hi Metalworker0

Thanks for this, that’s great
I can see the witness marks on the front plate where it should go
Happy days
Thanks for your message, it has solved my mystery (and frustration)

Cheers
