At last..... I had some time off lately and was able to start working on my 2.5 NA I got a few months ago.
First had to build a stand for it. Took me sometimes but I am happy with the result.
Then I had to find some fuel fittings to pumps, fuel filter housing, banjo bolts, fuel lines etc...( thanks again SafeAirone). Ended up using the fittings of a Mercedes 617 engine. The original parts have been ordered and should be here soon.
Took the starter out, tested OK.
Filled up with 15w40
Removed the injectors to put some marvel oil in cylinders
Struggle with a poor cranking problem, turn out that my Gnd wire was not big enough.
Installed a switch for the fuel cut off solenoid
Injector back on
and cranked the engine....
Some smoke coming out of exhaust (from marvel oil)....
All in all a great day.
Tomorrow I will try to start the engine for good.
