1970 s2 0453R Reassembly

  JB,   
   I heard of that , the reason for buying the package deal was to obtain the bell housing.

   I haven’t gone thru it yet to see what parts can be cross utilized. Lol the axle nuts alone were 1/5 the cost.
 The differential, axles, bearings, primary shaft , synchro’s...maybe?  Just guessing but wouldn’t the gears be able to be transferred for the proper rotation 4 forward, 1 reverse?

Everything except the ring and pinion should be useable... maybe the speedo-gear might be different, not sure.

  That’s a microfiber. It’s In a lot of new cars . It cleans up and vacuums very easily.

Thanks BDA

That does look really good, adds a real touch of class

[dakazman]

 Thanks Broadside.
  The last piece of the puzzle . Need to final cut 5/8 larger and pin together so my wifey can sew it up.

  JB , I was reading and old thread on TC bell housing, grumblebuns had several pics of a 336/ 352 and a NG3 . I shot him a PM to see what his 336 suffix was . It was indeed a 336/66  with a TC housing on it . Talk about a shot in the dark.  The manual does not show or at least I haven’t seen a ref to it.

Good news!

[dakazman]

  Back on track. 😀
  My 821 is having a water test tonight on the liners.
So far no leaks. Tomorrow rods/ cam / timing gear . It fells so good to finally continue on the engine.
Pistons installed and move easily, now that all the rings are the correct size.
  Gearbox waiting patiently for final adjustments and comparison with another gearbox.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Stay safe .

Did you check your liner protrusion?

[dakazman]

 
   Check JB 👍.
    Debating weather to install the stock cam or the mild street due to the lower compression pistons. I don’t want a real slug. I believe the original pistons in that 821-30 were flat.

No leakage throughout the night.
  Lifters in head already also.

62HP from a stocker should be plenty, D'man. 

[dakazman]

  😂in my stories it will have 162 HP .   

   I put in the mild cam all ready.
   
   The crossflow will make up the HP soon. Maybe even a zetec . I just want to make some noise and preferably not a bang.

The mild street cam is a good choice.

[dakazman]

   Today my 79mm ring set came in for the crossflow 👍👍

  However the m12 x1.5 extended shaft tap does not fit in any block. All head bolts are m11 x 1.5
So I ordered another tap, and will let you know the outcome. So what I think happened is the PO installed a 7/16 20 instead of a 14.

Great on the rings, bummer on the tap!

[dakazman]

 I ran across a cross section of the block with how the holes are designed in a Renault manual showing the top section being larger than the threaded section. No harm in waiting. Also the tensioner is hard to find . It has two different size pads and the larger seems only to be sold in the UK. 
  I forgot to add that the 821 is turning freely with pistons, cam timing chain and tensioner installed.
Waiting on a front seal on timing cover. (Dec2) then the head is ready to go. Then gearbox and install.
 Tomorrow if I can get away before wife’s bday I’ll try to set up the gearbox. I’m sure that’s not going to happen but I can try.
