K10 no.2

[karlj]

Just need rears

 

[karlj]

Carbs aren't all bad

 

[pork]

Take the fuel bowls off and check for gunk

My ones had been left for awhile and all this white sludge was in there. They were beyond repair and had to buy another set

I will be tonight, they need a good clean and a few screws replacing

 

[karlj]

Removed the float bowls

 

[karlj]

This is the worst but it looks like aluminium oxide

 

[pork]

Not as bad as mine. Give em a good soak and carb cleaner the hell out of it, make sure you get in all the little holes

Be careful of melting rubbers or plastics to with the cleaner

Need to identify what they came off so I can get new gaskets

 

[karlj]

Removed the original inlet mani (May have forgotten about coolant galleries)

Put the inlet side of the carbs against the inlet mani and they're a very close match

@pork what did you do about the coolant for the mani did you just block it off?

 

[karlj]

Forgot pictures

First shows the room I've got to work with, second the port spacing

Looking good Karl!

 

[karlj]

Cheers Paul, still got loads to do and get but I want it running the carbs sooner rather than later

 

[karlj]

Made a start on the sound deading, 1/4 done

 

[karlj]

Hopefully there will be a more substantial update at the weekend it at the moment I'm having a major headache with getting new inlet gaskets

 

[karlj]

So it's one step forward two steps back

Finally sorted new inlet gaskets, but instead of using them as a template for the bike carb manifold I thought it best to use them as a template to make a template. With that done I've refitted the original manifold so I could have a running car for the mot

Almost finished removing all of the sound deadening just the drivers side footwell to go then with that done it'll be time to refit the seats and seat belts

Stuff left to do is new springs and tyres

 

[karlj]

Little big update coming just need to get over my 7 hour drive

 

[karlj]

So so happy

 

[karlj]

Couldn't leave it be

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

You lucky bugger! Nice

 

[karlj]

Have to say a massive thank you to Simon for keeping hold of them for me

They're not a perfect fit but I can sort that

 

[karlj]

Got me some new seats thanks to Doug

 

[karlj]

Did some more interior stripping, removed the dash to get the last of the sound deadening.. need to drain the coolant so I can remove the heater matrix

Things to do with the interior...

Remove wiring loom
Remove the last of the sound deadening (the stuff stuck to the body of the car)
Plug any holes not needed
Sand
Paint

 

[karlj]

Had this in the garage so thought I'd see if it'd fit the k10.... and obviously it does

 

[karlj]

Picked up this cg10 from Mark, just need to strip the spare of a few nuts and bolts and it'll be good to put in

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Do you know what year K11 it's from? If it's from a pre-face you can bolt it onto the MA10 box with no problems

 

[karlj]

Typical.. started work on the 10 and the heavens open up, on the plus side wasn't much oil to drain

 

[karlj]

Whilst the weather is nice I've decided now is a good time to remove the old ma10

 

[karlj]

Tired now!

Lot harder than I thought doing it by myself !

Anyway....

Mount off

Bolt engine to k10 box fir now
View attachment 22626

Engine in on original g/box mounts, so I can still use k10 drive shafts
View attachment 22627

Mark where new mount needs to go
View attachment 22628

Flipped over old mount, drilled new holes, cut a section out and hammered into shape
View attachment 22629

View attachment 22630

All I need to do is make some longer studs to fit k11 mount to engine and strengthen up new mount bit more
View attachment 22631

All out now, gunna spray engine bay in morning push car back home, then dismantle engine for rebuild

Bed now

 

[karlj]

Just stole for guidance and I'll be able to find it again

 

[karlj]

FFS just went to swap the k10 clutch onto the cg10 and I have a 1.3 f/w, praying to the car gods I still have the spare at my dad's

 

[karlj]

Well I've hit a major snag in swapping the engine, turns out I haven't got a pre f/l 1.0 f/w

 

[pork]

Remind you of anything?

 

[karlj]

Little update, after trying 5, yes 5 flywheels I still don't have one that I need. Thankfully Mr Bognor has come to my rescue and I'll be picking one up on Saturday

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

5!! Filpping heck.
I hope mine fits now. I did make sure to get it from a pre face 1.0l k11 so fingers crossed i guess!

 

[karlj]

I had 3 unknown f/w's and tried two that were from a ph1 facelift

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Weird, well i've got my fingers crossed that flywheel number 6 is the one

 

[karlj]

It should be it's coming from Mark's old lx

 

[karlj]

Had some time today and half a tin of black spray

The picture looks far better than the reality but meh just wanted to waste what I had left

 

[karlj]

Massive thank you to Mr Bognor who has saved the day

Finally got myself the correct flywheel so now I can get the engine in and the drivers side mount sorted.

Now I have a small conundrum, after removing the flywheel from Mark's battered lx he offered me the non nats ecu.. so do I complicate the build slightly by going injection or do I stick with carbs

 

[karlj]

Had some time today and thought I'd set about putting the engine in.... Didn't go according to plan so I'm just going to make my life easier and remove the gear box

 

[karlj]

Haven't done anything with the 10 for a while, will possibly going to scrap as I don't have the time to finish playing with it

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

NOOOO Don't scrap it! You've got clean K10, it'd be such a waste to scrap it, or even worse let the banger racers get hold of it

 

[karlj]

It'll never end up with banger racers, I'm just trying to work out the logistics of keeping it

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Glad to hear it! Save the 10!

 

[karlj]

The 10 has been stripped of all the parts I want to keep hold of, thankfully there wasn't much to remove

Turbo bumpers and seats will be put in storage the rest will be scrapped as soon as I've made the arrangements

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Would you be interested in selling the gearbox by any chance?

 

[karlj]

I would but I haven't got time to remove it, it's getting picked up Friday
