'30s Peugeot 401 Engine Build ........ Please Click here to open.

 We have been assembling the Peugeot engine. Some final measurements of clearances, as it has been converted to modern thin wall shell big end bearings rather than the original white metal bearings. We have retained white metal main bearings. Here we are test fitting the conrods after extensive work. We have also rigged a temporary pressurised oil delivery to check all internal galleries and bungs as well as a final check of oil delivery to the "bottom end"  J


Excuse the homemade slotcars in the background, the workshop seems a natural home for them (more on these in a future post).



Standard Vanguard Progress..........Please click here to open.


 We have been making some good progress on the Vanguard. Since the carburettor rebuild with the new bushes, it fires to life every  time! Sadly though, with a project of this nature, new things have been found as we progress, such as sticking brakes and a lack of clutch.. but it did see the light of day for the first time in 5 years!
