Made an update on the coolant bypass, this time with one of the sensors in it:

nice looking. But you aren't going to make it blue are you ?

[Aram]

I might, I am seriously considering anodizing al the parts I make, simply because it is better against corrosion.
Anodizing can be done in several colors, and blue is a very common color.

The color in the drawing is purely coinsidence btw.

Added the heater barb:

I like this kind of proffessional work!

So this is what my waterpump on the blacktop looks like, how bad will it be in the engine, anyone has experience with this?




Had the engine starter refurbished, relais was kaput, love it when things look like new. :






16V waterpump is not a direct swap it seems, I had to grind away a small piece on the block for it to fit:




And the water bypass pipe is very close to the water exit, got to find a nice solution or that:

The alternator bracketis also not a direct fit, the time belt tensioner is in the way, how is this usually delt with, grind away a part of the bracket or maybe use a 16V time belt tensioner, anyone has experience??






Head light blots broke off, no clue how to fix this :




Prepared some stuff for powdercoating, alot of sandblasting (no pic, sorry), and this:





After sandblasting it became obvious how much the rust has eaten away:






I also bought a engine rotisserie, cheap and very handy, removed the oilpan to see if things were ok. I'll remove the caps later to see how the bearings are doing.
Oil looked ok, no metal shrapnel anywhere.

you have to use the 16v alternator bracket.
