Monty`s Mk1 Camper

[montym100]

the engine im going to put in mine is from a corsair but rebuilt to transit spec

Is there much difference and what Carb has it got?

Keep us updated on your rebuild

I`ve got the bottom end gasket kit, just need to get the top end. Even got an engine stand

[Vandalism]

i think the sump is different and the oil pick up pipe?

my engine hasnt got a carb on it yet - been told a webber 32 or 34 ich is a good carb (cant remember wifh one)

No update, the only thing i`ve done is byu a full Disklok for the steering wheel. Btw the Medium size fits nicely

Love driving her and always get looks, people beeping, thumbs up and even had one guy knocking on the door when sat at traffic lights asking hpow old she was
Oh, i`m so glad that i sorted the in cab heating system as it was needed

New year i`ll have to get on with the stripping the 2ltr engine and rebuild her, just got to decide on the gearbox

[Vandalism]

what are you thinking for the gearbox?..overdrive is the only thing you can do with ease with these v4 engines

At 1st i was thinking of doing the MT75 conversion but i`ve been offered an O/D box which i`ve asked question on in the Mk1/Mk2 section, but i believe teven the O/D swap isn`t straight forward

[Vandalism]

diddnt know you could do a mt75 convertion

and yes you need quite a few other parts for an od box convertion

dont matter to me as ive just bought a pinto engine and 5 speed box

its not your mk1 gearbox has a mount on top of gearbox and if the od is from a latter van it will have sub frame and bolt to chassis and also prop is shorter

Don`t think anyone has done it on the Mk1 V4, i was going to look in to having an adaptor plate made but it turns out it`s more complicated ie the starter, fly, clutch, prop and cross member. I did start a thread in the mk1/mk2 section.

Managed to win a 4.1:1 Diff off ebay which i`m hoping to rebuild, it was quite dirty when i recieved it so i`ve stripped it part way down to give it a clean and check the teeth and bearings.

The diff bearings do seem to be ok but the inner Pinion bearing there are marks on the race and the outer bearing has quite a bit of play. I need to drift the inner bearing race but i`m not sure how the Outer one is removed.

On the Diff bearing outer race the numbers are 16284-N Japan Koyo Hi-cap
Outer Pinion Bearing HM88542 England Timken

and for the inner pinion i will need to remove the race to get the numbers

[montym100]

Think i`ve found some of the bearings but will need to measure to confirm

Outer Pinion

Doing a search on ebay and looks like this bearing also fits the Mk6 Transit
eBay listings

Still need to find the numbers for the inner pinion bearing.

Also need thegasket and the pinion seal, i found this site http://www.motomobil.com which i think are based in Germany. They have plenty of stuff listed for the Mk1 and think i`ve found them

Pinion seal?

Started to strip down the Corsair 2000E engine that i bought, suppose to be the same as the GT version I`ve got the bottom end Gasket set and i`ve ordered the top end from this place for £22 delivered http://www.gaskets-direct-limited.co.uk ... .asp?c=443

On removing the Thermostat housing guest what? there was no thermostat so must of had heat issues but think this is down to part blocked waterways in the head to inlet manifold (see pic). The pistons and bores look good at this point.

Need to get a bracket made for the engine stand as one is missing then i can get the block attached then remove sump and decide how far to go. But it all needs a good clean.


Anyone know what this pipe is for?






Part Blocked waterways from head to inlet manifold




Head numbers, GT?




timing cover removed
