To prime the oil pump just remove the king lead from the distribution cap and crank the engine till the oil light goes off. Keep up the good work. I had a white 1991 model and it still one of my favourite cars.
Thanks! But what I meant was to prime the oil pump without cranking the engine... I think it is possible if you take the distributor out and the pinion gear for that- then you should be able to spin the oil pump with the right adapter... :)
Seaside Garage fair enough. As you have greased all the components I would say it will be fine to prime while cranking as it will only take a few turnovers to get oil circulation.
Seaside Garage I rebuilt my C1J did it this way and was fine. I think your way could be a lot of effort for no real advantage. Can’t wait to hear the engine start. K
Hi Seaside Garage, do you know, if the plastic guage crush width is outside tolerance, are different thickness shell bearings available to remedy this? Or is it a crankshaft regrind job? Thanks for your great videos!
Great videos. I am also rebuilding my c1j and have installed the cylinder liners but have not measured the protrusion. Now with the gasket in the cylinder liner I have a protrusion of 0.1 / 0.15mm. In your opinion is that correct? Thanks a lot if you want to help me
Thanks! Well, they need to be measured without the seals on the turbo model... I would take them out and measure them without.. (but then you need new liner gaskets again... A leak in those is not good... :)
Thank you! yes that would be great! I expect everything to be good when both rods, crank and bearings are new... but still I would like to measuring it...!
Great videos, i have haynes and renault manuals, but seeing it in videos helps better to know what needs to be done
Great video! Thank you for explaining everything!
And again a great video. Thumbs up from the Netherlands🇳🇱👍
Thanks! :D
Great to see the Gt turbo getting some love. Always wanted to rebuild a GTT engine so I'm really enjoying watching you do it 👍
I am happy you enjoy it! I don´t know if im good at engine rebuilding, but i do know that i really enjoy it!

@@WLAdrenaline yea I think you are right... I might over think it a bit.. :)

@@WLAdrenaline yea I belive you are right..
Cant wait either! Hope it works! ;)
Excellent, things seem to be going well.
Yea it goes pretty good right now... something has to go wrong soon! ;)

There is oversize shells but the crank needs to be regrind to that specs... On this engine the crank is pretty cheap though... :)
Nice to do this as a hobby! What is the name of the manual that you use ?

No specs in the volvo and daf manual. Only the 55-65nm for the bolts. Can ask at the dafclub if you like..
Thank you! yes that would be great! I expect everything to be good when both rods, crank and bearings are new... but still I would like to measuring it...!
Hey bro what torque specs for main bearing and rod bearing
