Hi Everyone,
Looking for opinions. I am moving along slowly with my project. The chassis is pretty much done and i hope to start building it all back up soon. Last week i turned my attention to the engine. It is an 845cc and was running perfectly when i took the car apart about 7 years ago. It has about 75000 miles on the clock. I had it from about 40k and it got fresh oil and service every 5k without fail. I have a new clutch to fit.
Whilst the engine is out are there things I should definitely renew? I don't want to get into rebuilding the whole engine.
I will be fitting megajolt mappable electronic ignition driven by a cam pulley sensor. I have picked up a new zenith 32if7 carb that Im thinking of fitting. Has anyone experience of using an adapter to go from 32mm to 28mm so i can use the existing manifold? Im wondering if the reduction in cross sectional area (32mm is 3216mm2, 28mm only 2463mm2) would cause issues?
Any advice/thoughts welcome.
Thanks
Nick
