Finally, i forgot one hidden bolt (blue one) !! the water goes out through this hole. I dry it ,and put a new bolt with sealant on the thread.i leave the broken bolt (red one) as this. Tomorrow, i will fill water again ... 🤞

stud extractor broken inside :mad: i wasn't straight. I tried to put water ...and of course big leak...so water pump removal work in progress... I will purchase tungsten drill to remove all this ...

i will empty the tank before fitting new gazoline i put pure water (no glycol) in the radiator i prime the oil pump with the drill i give 2 rotations of the engine with a wrench i put back the dizzy i crank the engine and put an eye on the oil...

i think what i'm trying to say is the what-ifs.. but call me paranoid. a fast first start is critical is critical in this case, you dont want it coughing/spluttering for a min while it warms up when you need to be bedding in a new cam.. for the...

That means i should remove the fuel pump to empty the tank...

Its E 10 ...

I have 10 liters fuel in the tank since 2 years, if i mix with new gazoline it's ok , or i must empty the tank before ?

i have to fix the dizzy yes ! that's could be my last job ;)

2000 rpm during almost 10 minutes ?

Hi Almost finished the job : new cam and lifters, rings cleaned and oiled, composite head gasket...check the pressure oil pump with a mechanical gauge (25 to 40 psi with drill) just a little scared to give the fist crank ...should go to 2000 rpm...

Ifound! the cut hose goes to a switch near the pedal, i succeed to connect a new hose there , from a T that goes to the vacuum pump and the CC actuator. Don't know why this hose was cutted ... And the plenum connection goes to a vacuum ball that...

I wonder which hose connect on the yellow circle mark ??? first one through the bulkhead, the hose was cut 2nd on the plenum

May be only for the upgraded VOGUE SE ?

HI, Almost finish the rebuild...still have to find the right place for the vacuum hoses. - I have a black ball with a hose going through the bulkhead, but don't find the way for the other hose ... - The vacuum pump should go to the cruise control...

I just tighten the crank bolt with my wrench that is limited to 240 NM , i gave a little more , about 20 °, as the torque should be 270 NM ...should be OK .

That would be THE moment ...with new lifters and camshaft...hope no trouble or issue at this time 🙏

HI, I set back the timing cover and test the oil pump pressure using a wireless drill and a mechanic gauge : I get 40 psi at max speed and 25 psi at low speed...i expect to have more with 1200/ 1500 rpm ... i use 20W50 old car oil What do you think ?

I ordered yesterday (i needed it) a new compact drill machine and a left hand drill ...should do it

Not a lot of place to do that (i dont want to remove again the timing cover) but the bolt should not be tightened hard. I have to find a little drill...

It's already cut, in the middle of the treads ! You mean i should cut it like this and fill the hole with loctite and then with a RTV sealant ? that's it ?

After putting the timing cover back on, I tightened one of the water pump bolts (pictured) to 20Nm instead of 11Nm… and sure enough, it broke. It's a small bolt, not the long ones that go through the pump to the block. Should I leave it like...

The oil pump gasket, not easy to find, is not a paper one, i think i can re use it...it's a bit plastic made.

I finally remove the front cover, the bolt was tightened correctly to 5O NM :mad:,do not need to crank the pulley... I need now to get new gaskets (oil pump and front cover) and reset again ...
