taffyracer Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 My engine (EU2 VVC) is coming out next week and an R400 engine being fitted in its place with new Jenvey's and an Emerald and R500 flywheel, is there anything else worth doing whilst it is out?

6speedmanual Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hose out the "grot traps". Allow to dry for a week in a warm dry garage. Then spray with Waxoyl and run some along the trough at the bottom of the side skins where they wrap under the chassis rails.

Myles Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Definitely clean the 'bay - but I wasn't convinced by waxoyl when I was using my 7 through the winter when I first got it. My reservation is that it tends to accumulate grit and cr&p itself. I prefer the option of a decent clean and theny trying to keep on top of it with regular floodings of WD40/GT85/whatever. Might be worth thinking if you need any extra wiring put neatly into the loom - eg. for a remote relay/switch for the fan, speedo wiring for a wheel-based sensor (bike computer, Vapor, Stack/whatever). Mebbe now's (almost) the time to make/fit a half-bay (up to the front of the sump) undertray to help keep the grot out in the first-place. I wouldn't go for a full tray in retrospect - keeps the engine-bay very-clean but also keeps heat in. 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Oh, if you've got an Apollo or anything like that that makes changing alternator belts etc. tricky, remember to fit a spare in-situ... 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyracer Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Ok great, so basic maintenance, i've just ordered pace dry sump and Elite sequential box, so new clutch and CRB will do as a matter of course and will look at the wiring, would like a stack dash.....god i'm rebuilding the whole car virtually!
