If it was me, I would strip the paint back to bare metal to see if it has been repaired previously. If it is original metal and no serious rust I would try dent pullers and heat shrinking to remove the worst of the damage then skim with filler and repaint.

Anyone fitted a Huco electric fuel pump. If so what is the correct orientation, horizontal or vertical. If vertical does the inlet / outlet go at the top or the bottom? Thanks

I am in the process of finishing off the build of my new Autolinea engine. The set up has an alternator. The fan belt is loose (no shims), it has about an inch of play. Belt is currently a FB 11.3 x 912La. It was fitted to my previous engine but that still had a little more play than the...

Kerlos - yes the oil holes in the bearing saddles were a little off. I notched the back of the bearings to compensate (as seen on YouTube).

Building up my new engine. Went to fit the CSP carb linkage and found the engine block is not flat at the fitting point, so had to grind some of the metal away.

Thanks that sounds like a good idea, I could get rid of my current dipstick sensor. What type of sensor are you using?

Does anyone know what this extra sump port is for on a new Autolinea case?

Does anyone know where to get this bit of tinware?

Just started building the new engine for my bus:

We have 2 10 litre plastic containers in the cupboard next to the sink, one for fresh water with a submersible pump and the other for waste.

I will be spending a fair bit in the next week or so. I checked a couple of prices before and after logging in, but no difference. I asked on their chat line and if you add EARLYBAY to the promo box you should get 10% discount.

Been having a low oil pressure issue when the engine is warm, and oil leaks. Took the engine out yesterday using the new lift I modified. Stripped the engine down today and found that the oil cooler is loose. That would explain the oil leak. I am guessing that it could also be causing the low...

Engine out, lift worked like a dream.

Bay_Buster - Got it from Amazon £42.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Q55RB6W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks. If it's a time out thing, why have the "Remember Me" tick box? and what are they going to hack?

Just lately I have to log in every time I visit the forum even though I have ticked the "Remember Me" box. Is this affecting anyone else or just me?

subheatadey - Over time I noticed that when the engine gets up to operating temp, the oil warning light came on at idle, this progressed being full on below 1.5k revs. I then fitted an electronic oil temp gauge but because it reads in Bar I can't tell what pressure it is at idle. I then got...

I need to take out the bus engine to investigate the low oil pressure issue. My drive is on a slope so a trolley jack is difficult to use. So I bought a cheap motorbike stand and some heavy duty castors. Flipped the raise/lower mechanism so its on the bottom and doesn't get caught by the...

You need a Fram HP1 oil filter, these have an internal bypass to prevent high pressure surges from blowing the filter.

got a model aircraft Hawker Typhoon 1:24 scale for my birthday which keeps me entertained. 509 parts and eyes aint what they used to be, so I will probably still be building it this time next year...
