Mike. Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I recently got the opportunity to pick up this 2.0E Cih engine and Getrag 5 speed gearbox locally, it’s from an 1986 C reg Manta coupe which was stripped and prepared for rallying. My intention is to strip down and re build so I have a reconditioned engine and box ready to go, plus it gives me a small project just to keep me busy. The 2.0E cih with P2E head, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. Getrag 5 speed gearbox, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. starting to strip off all ancillaries and box them up, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. ready to clean when I get a minute, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. flywheel bolt removed, probably easier on the pallet rather than in the engine bay, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. Clutch plate and clutch removed, P bolt marked and flywheel removed so I can mount the engine on the engine stand, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. Rocker cover, timing casing/ oil pump and sump all stripped, cleaned and painted, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. engine mounted on stand and block de greased, wire brushed and painted with HT engine paint just to keep things cleaner in the garage, now I can work on it with getting oil everywhere, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. my next job will be to start cleaning the inlet manifold, exhaust manifold etc so I have clean parts to work with then the full strip down and re build, probably a autumn/winter project. had a quick go over a small part of the gearbox with a wire brush to get an idea of the final results with the box, looks encouraging, loads more time needed on this along with an oil change, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 When you put the timing case back on did you make sure you put the oil feed "O" ring in the head gasket and recess in the timing case? Its a bit vital and you only make that mistake once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) I know exactly what you mean, the small orange o ring, like a cutting of hose on top left of timing case. I have cleaned all faces of timing case, head and block but as yet I haven’t purchased a complete gasket set, that’s on my to do list for assembly in the Autumn, along with oil stem seals and head bolt set I need to purchase these parts so in the meantime I’m pushing forward with cleaning and dismantling in preparation. I also have a Kent 214 fast road cam which I intend to fit but don’t know if my existing hydraulic lifters will do or if I need to purchase solid lifters? Edited June 27, 2021 by Mike.
