Finally worked out how to upload images  whoo

So this is my 1980 S3 88" Station wagon 2.25 petrol. Purchased late last year and it's been my daily driver since, it's an ongoing project. Trying to keep it as original as I can, but I do rather like the 8 spoke wheels :P

Lovely.

I do like that green.

What's the Rover name for it?
Title: Re: Katie
Post by: 94mharris on March 03, 2016, 12:10:18 pm
Thanks for the nice comments, she's mostly original apart from the wheels and the seats. Which are exmoor trim replacements, with forward facing seats in the rear.

I'm not 100% sure on the proper name for the color to be honest. Light green, lime green, the other green, they're all names I've heard used for it! But i do prefer this green to the bronze green. :)

Went to a pay and play site today, and quite massively underestimated one of the climbs. So I got stuck halfway and had to get winched out. Then this happend:

Renewing the rocker cover gasket after resetting the valve clearance, the gasket needed a little fettling:

Post by: 94mharris on April 02, 2016, 11:33:26 pm
There's no damage to any of the body panels, but there's an expensive growling sound coming from the lower end of the engine, but only at high rpms (over 3000rpm) and only when under load. Not really sure what it is though? Possibly the crank?

Post by: 94mharris on April 13, 2016, 10:08:30 pm
Picked up with my dad a set of new (to me) steel wheels. They've got a decent set of rubber on them, should hopefully last 1-2 years. Plan is to re-paint them the correct limestone color as they're currently defender white. Then when the rubber wears down on the current set I'll swap them over.

Been a while but good to get back to work on the S3. Been a good day, I removed and inspected the transmission brake. The expander feels like it needs a good clean and a bit of grease.

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20160509_001_zpsm7gaat7x.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20160509_001_zpsm7gaat7x.jpg.html)

Also the brake shoes look they've got plenty of material left so they'll be going straight back on after a quick cleean:

Expander unit cleaned and rebuilt. I'm not surprised the transmission brake got stuck on with the amount of crud that came out! Hopefully they'll be no issues when I refit it.

Took me ages trying to reassemble my transmission brake. Very fiddly trying to get those springs together.
Title: Re: Katie
Post by: 94mharris on May 11, 2016, 02:59:43 pm
Yer, it was a real pain! I spent about two hours trying to stretch the springs at all sorts of angles. I gave up in the end and pulled the output flange about 1-2 inches to get better clearance past the expander and the shoes simply dropped into place!  Celbrt Lost a bit of oil but no biggy. Need to re-torque the bolt when I go back later.

Been quite a productive weekend, picked up the engine Friday evening. Then removed the right hand wing and front panel. Disconnected the engine so it's now ready to be swapped over.

First made a trolley to cart the engine around when it arrived:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20160513_002_zps7oqgx5et.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20160513_002_zps7oqgx5et.jpg.html)

Transporting the engine back home:

No pics of the S3 today. But a friend dropped off my new Sankey trailer :D The long term plan is to convert it into a camping trailer with a roof tent, water container, gas, leasure batteries etc that is unless my dad pinches it first...,  whstle

It needs quite a lot of work but I'm not in any hurry for it to be finished. :)

Not done very much work on the S3 apart from finally getting round to fitting a battery isolater. She's been getting regular use though which has been great since the engine rebuild :)

When working with the sheep (mum's Discovery in the background):

Been quite a busy few weeks, working on the brakes and ignition switch last week in preparation for leafers. Then rebuilding and fitting a Zenith carb today. It still needs some fine tuning but it works a LOT better than the weber that I took off.

So first stage to changing the ignition switch is to remove the entire lower fascia! :O

Just so I can fit this new switch:

And now properly fitted:

Does anyone know if you can get replacements of these:

Now moving onto the brakes, first removing the old master cylinder away from the servo:
(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20160823_001_zpsgjtrscpk.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20160823_001_zpsgjtrscpk.jpg.html)

New servo fitted:

This didn't fix the problem (grrr) so after much calling around local parts suppliers we found someone who had the correct master cylinder in stock. New master cylinder fitted and problem fixed :D

Now moving onwards to the carb:

The bottom half, emulsifier and top all cleaned and ready for re-assembly:

Been a busy few months with uni' but I've managed to fit a few jobs in at weekends etc.

I finally got round to cleaning up, painting and fitting an original style air cleaner. First step was to clean the many decades of crud that had built up:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161008_001_zpssj03ngek.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161008_001_zpssj03ngek.jpg.html)

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161008_005_zpshrgwzkk9.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161008_005_zpshrgwzkk9.jpg.html)

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161008_003_zpsxnvbyebi.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161008_003_zpsxnvbyebi.jpg.html)

Then after the crud had been removed:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161009_002_zpsxspo9b07.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161009_002_zpsxspo9b07.jpg.html)

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161008_004_zpshvfnjd6f.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161008_004_zpshvfnjd6f.jpg.html)

Once all the crud had been removed all the parts got 2 coats of Hammerites finest satin black:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161009_001_zpsbdqn6sty.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161009_001_zpsbdqn6sty.jpg.html)

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161009_003_zpsgvutyizy.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161009_003_zpsgvutyizy.jpg.html)

Once all the paint had dried I filled the filter with oil and fitted it to the engine bay. The most difficult part being trying to fit the air hose on to the carb' elbow! The engine is a lot quieter now with no induction noise :D

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161009_004_zpsj1uyiqzv.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161009_004_zpsj1uyiqzv.jpg.html)

Also I managed to get round to fitting my 3 smiths gauges, (although only one of them is currently plumbed in...,)

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161115_001_zpsp5xs1jhc.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161115_001_zpsp5xs1jhc.jpg.html)

Then a few weeks later, the head gasket decided to let go on the way home from a trial. So the strip down commences:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161120_004_zpsz8wmvu6b.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161120_004_zpsz8wmvu6b.jpg.html)

With the head removed:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161120_005_zpsoafn4gma.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161120_005_zpsoafn4gma.jpg.html)

The guilty suspect:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161120_006_zpswiuzv8aj.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161120_006_zpswiuzv8aj.jpg.html)

After cleaning the cylinder block:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161123_001_zpscmhl3i7p.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161123_001_zpscmhl3i7p.jpg.html)

And the cylinder head:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161123_003%201_zpsv66hjey6.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161123_003%201_zpsv66hjey6.jpg.html)

And finally all back together with the new (Payen) gasket fitted:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161120_001_zpsahg7tums.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161120_001_zpsahg7tums.jpg.html)

The next issue arose a week or so after fitting the head gasket. The issue being when the sidelights/ headlights were on and I braked, one brake light would come on one side, and the other light would go out completely on the other! I traced the fault back to a dodgy bulb holder. So it was replaced with a new one from Wipac:

The new bulb holder:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161207_001_zpsdd7rvpju.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161207_001_zpsdd7rvpju.jpg.html)

When I was reconnecting the earth the whole bolt pushed through the tub floor, leaving about an inch diameter hole. So I made up a plate to cover up the hole and fit another bolt to:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161207_002_zpsdv2zyyaj.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161207_002_zpsdv2zyyaj.jpg.html)

The new plate fitted:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161207_004_zpsrrjd9j7r.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161207_004_zpsrrjd9j7r.jpg.html)

And wired in:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161207_006_zpsd3mnjeee.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161207_006_zpsd3mnjeee.jpg.html)

I noticed on the way to the Norfolk Xmas doo that the front LH brake was dragging slightly. Only after I could smell a rather hot smell and I burnt myself on the brake drum. i traced the fault to the wheel cylinder not returning properly. So I replaced both front wheel cylinders:

Removing the old cylinder:

Fitting the new cylinder:

All fitted back together:

A little trick i read about online was to put a sheet of clingfilm over the reservoir to stop the brake fluid being drawn out. I tried it but didn't have much success:

(http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu212/94mharris/WP_20161222_002_zpsxbo4xhmr.jpg) (http://s649.photobucket.com/user/94mharris/media/WP_20161222_002_zpsxbo4xhmr.jpg.html)

I also tried using an ezibleed for the first time which worked incredibly well! Made bleeding the brakes a lot easier :)

Where did you get your battery isolator/terminal from?  I need to fit one - to avoid the magic Lucas smoke escaping again.

Thanks Gossamer :)

Sorry I can't remember exactly where it came from, but I think it was from Ebay. It's a useful security feature as well.

All good stuff - she looked nice and tidy in Norfolk!

The new replacement air filter hoses do seem to be a slightly smaller bore than original, so are a swine to fit. The rubber feels stiffer, too.

When it comes to working with brake hydraulics, I use these:

Most recently I used one on one of the front hoses when changing a swivel seal. Once all was re-fitted, the brakes came back up to full pressure after two pumps of the pedal, bleeding the old-fashioned way.

Thanks Phil, no where near as smart as yours though. :)

Those blanking plugs look a good idea, I'd lose a lot less fluid by using those.  lkebtn

Looking great! Definitely one of the best colours! The wiring problems remind me of mine, full on disco effect when indicating. Turned out to be all the chassis loom was twisted together and taped up after someone had replaced the rear x member!

Thanks James :) Yer, I think it's the best Landy colour (especially with a bit of patina). And the wiring can be quite a night-mare with PO additions. On mine a trailer sockets been added by using some cheap nasty connectors, with all the wires the some colour fp. I need to get round to sorting it out sometime.

Haven't uploaded any pics for far too long. Just found this from a few months back. I was helping a friend to set out an RTV trial. The boingy is my friends 1990 90" with a transplanted TD5.

And looking a bit farther back I found this from last year:

I've finally got started with the engine rebuild I've been planning. First stage is to take out the crankshaft so I can get it re-ground.

Time to get started:

Dropped the sump and pulled out the oil pump:

The oil pump safely into storage:

The exposed end of the crankshaft:

Thats as far as I got today. Hopefully pull off a few more bits in the next few days :)

The engine rebuild continues, today I managed to remove the camshaft, take off the cylinder head and take out the pistons:

First order of the day was to remove the timing cover:
(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/888/27501636618_0bf1412265_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/HUe5qA)IMG_20180410_101819 (https://flic.kr/p/HUe5qA) by Matt Harris (https://www.flickr.com/photos/157388269@N02/), on Flickr

Once the timing cover had been removed I took off the timing chain and tensioner:

After quite a bit of fighting I managed to finally get the crank shaft out:
(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/875/39563672690_a84eb3aa1f_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/23h7avL)IMG_20180410_155046 (https://flic.kr/p/23h7avL) by Matt Harris (https://www.flickr.com/photos/157388269@N02/), on Flickr

The conrod bearing shells:

The main bearing sheells:

The view with the crankshaft removed:

With the crankshaft removed the next step was to take off the cylinder head. With the cylinder head removed the head gasket didn't look to bad, could possibly be the original:

Pistons 1 and 2:

Pistons 3 and 4:

The bottom of the cylinder head:

The removed cylinder head:

One of the removed pistons:

One of the cylinder bores, itdoesn't look to bad to me:

The top few mm's aren't as worn as the rest of the cylinder I believe due to the piston rings not riding that far up:
