Build BJ 45 restoration Greece

[Shown]

And i installed the battery and radiator bases. Under the radiator base i put a rubber piece to replace the mats it had from the factory, and between the battery holder and the bracket, i put two rubber pieces from rubber inner tube. From the factory it had a rubber paint on the battery holder that did this job.

Finally the chambers came.. They were a little taller and they exceeded the heads surface...

 

[Shown]

The gap between the head and the chamber surface must not exceed 0,1mm according to the manual. So i began to resurface them... It took me some hours sanding and measuring, but the result was better than expected...

I ended up today, by reassembling the cylinder head, after i cleaned it very carefully.

I continued in January, installing the radiator.

I cleaned, painted and installed the shafts.

I bought an injector nozzle tester. After i cleaned the injectors, i tested them and they were working perfect. I bought some new coilovers but they didn't fit... . These are for my corolla...

Installed the head, the injectors and all the pieces....

A flex pipe on these 3b's is essential ! For years the exhaust would crack on mine due to vibration until I welded in a flex joint. Mine is intalled just after the manifold near the firewall. great work !

That’s the right way. Shown’s would work if the bracket to the transmission bolts would been installed (painted silver in my picture):

Thanks for sharing... I didn't knew that there is a bracket for this point. I might try to build one. Seems pretty logical to be there. Mine old exhaust, was exactly as i build the new one...

Thanks mate. Maybe yours is the best way as maTTi says. I'll try to build a bracket...

I would say that via You Tube is pretty easy.
