Hi all,
Remember me?
1) broke down in Medford
2) left vehicle and went on vacation to mexico
3) returned in the new year to collect vehicle
4) discovered a shredded con rod bearing on #3 cylinder
5) purchased a used 3B engine (last weekend: Thanks ROB!)
6) installing used 3B engine (now)
I plan on posting a very informative thread about the differences between the B and the 3B engine when I have completed my swap. They are VERY very similar but there are some significant design improvements and differences.
Here's my question: I'm having difficulty figureing out the thermostat housing. There seems to be a much different routing of the main hose INLET to the thermostat. My old engine was a B from a BJ40, but my new engine is a 3B from a BJ70 or something (right Rob?). Does anybody out there in Cruiser-land have a photograph of their engine bay that they could send to sean.allan@powertechlabs.com ? Basically I'm trying to figure out if I have to move the entire thermostat housing from the B engine to the 3B engine.
Thanks guys!
