From memory the outlet pipe is approx 52mm ext dia. There's loads of fans out there depending on what you buy some come with link pipe as part of the can (such as Harris) others require a separate link pipe

Finally got round to getting the engine out

Now to get all the old paint of and resprayed and polish the frame up. Gonna buy the restoration kit from perfect polish some time soon.
Only bad thing is, I got the engine out with only a small amount of swearing I was pleased how easy it came out. How ever when I was moving the frame the engine took a tumble. Visually it didn't affect it at all ... was only a little bump so should be alright .... shouldn't it ??? :/ ha

you have removed the 2 bolts that hold the water pump to the engine, now its just a case of removing the alternator and then the pump-to-block metal pipe then you can pull the water pump off...from memory you cant remove it without removing the alternator first.

as for the valves, looks like rust from the steel valves, if its been stood a long time its probably condensation, but best remove the cylinder head if you want to be sure, you will need a long length 6mm allen socket dive to remove the cylinder head and a decent valve spring remover if you want to clean up the valves.

ok the front of the pump is off already, ok, just give it a few knocks with a rubber mallet and try and pry the thing gently forwards as you do it, the rubber seal is quite a tight fit.

Excellent thank you banner I'm at work now so won't get to try until the weekend but il get it sorted then. I did try giving it a few gentle knocks but didn't want to hit to hard. It was really annoying me cos I could see it wasn't connected to owt but it wouldnt budge!! Lol

And as for the valves again, il leave them for now and give them a clean before I respray the engine.

Thanks again

Got the water pump housing and that off cheers again Banner.
Can someone advice me on what this is please ..

Also when I took the sump cover off I found this .

Which I'm guessing shouldn't be there. . :/
What's it likely to have come off?

odbguy · Post by **odbguy** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 4:04 pm

And this black thing next to crankcase cover ...

What is it? Is it suppose to come off? Thanks for help

That gold cylinder in the first picture is your oil level switch. The little bit in the palm of your hand I'm not sure what that is. As for the thing on the cylinder block. I'll have to look it up when I can. I'm in the middle of tiling my kitchen at the moment. Oh what fun we're having. Lol
