thanks Duncan (you kinda looked happier when you were drinking! )Paint it black, and send it back.
A new high pressure line is going to be required I think.

excellent score getting the good chassis close to home. I could do with something like that for a hj75 troopy...just love the troopy configuration.Hahha.. I definitely wasnt. I am so much happier sober, even if I look grumpy in almost every photo
are you going to kick her over on the stand?Fresh new clutch and spigot bearing installed, fly wheel skimmed and stiffener plate removed and painted.

not too late, much easier out of the bay. I have pulled 4 x 2h's apart now, 3 had bad pitting in the coolant passages. real pain for the oil cooler to spring a leak then you have to pull the ip, the lines and the manifold in the bay then reinstall, re-spill etc...Already done.. I will try and find a video.
I think its a good runner, factory unopened engine, zero blowby, good compression. The only niggling concern I have is the oil cooler cover - I've had a look with a borescope and it looks OK from what I can see but the thermostat lower housing had some deep pitting - this engine has definitely been running just water - I'll be running a fine mesh coolant filter for a while and a second hand radiator until I'm happy its running nice and clean. In hindsight I'm regretting not pulling off the cooler cover when I had the inlet manifold off - lazy.

I'll be interested in the start up vid on your stand.not too late, much easier out of the bay.

the machine shop I used said a good phrase, 'you want a new engine or not?'
anyway you doing great guns

For me with the virgin 2h rebuild, I am just thinking through the process of building oil pressure before starting. I have a mechanical gauge setup and hoping when I prime the fuel lines with the glows removed (always a good stinky visual) it shall also prime oil at the same time. Then try to see if I get oil pressure with the glows installed but not pre - heated.
ohh you must at least once try priming the lines with the glows removed, just for the visual, puff, puff , puff out of each glow hole, in firing sequence, looks really cool. good fun, stand back tho.I've only had to bleed the filter on most 2Hs and the injector lines tend to self bleed.
Pre-filling all of the oil galleries would be nice, I've never done it though.

also lets you know if if any particular line has a delivery issue straight away.
got that recommendation from rosco on here.
I've been meaning to do this with a 2H for a while.. this is a Mercedes, but its pretty much exactly the same pump..
yes! like that but like that but diesel mist whale hole snotters. that looks more like laser beams!
