Murbella – Day 33 – External oil plumbing

Posted on 2020-06-042020-06-04

It will be many weeks until I have the engine in a semi-mockup state to be able to determine final options on the external oil filtering. I would really like to implement the bold on option since it will make a huge difference in the general longevity of this engine. However, my choice to return…

Murbella – Day 30 – Oil Filter Placement

Posted on 2020-05-30

If this becomes too difficult to do, given my fabrication limitations, I’ll just go with the stock oil pump and skip full filtering for now. Buried under that oh so lovely undercoating is the shock bumper mount and bolts. I need to figure out a way to mod a mounting plate that is made for…

Murbella – AJ Engine – Do I go filtered on the oil system?

Posted on 2020-05-272020-05-27

Now I’ve been back and forth on some things as the projects have moved along. However, based on what the engine case looked like inside, and knowing full well how clogged some of the oil passages were, not to mention other oil sludge in the sump, I’m thinking of doing a bolt-on mod that will…

Murbella – Day 24 – Final Disassembly

Posted on 2020-05-242020-05-24

So I got outside completely forgetting that I had not done everything needed to just grab them for power washing. It took almost an house to get the remaining cylinder studs out. There were about 6 that was fused to the case. I used up my one remaining cylinder of propane heating up the studs…

Murbella – Day 23 – Short Block Disassembly

Posted on 2020-05-23

Given everything I encountered with taking the pistons and cylinders off, it was clear that I need to address the engine fully, and nut just clean it up and hope that new pistons, new cylinders, and new or rebuilt heads would give it the longevity it needs. So I cracked the case. Compared to the…

Murbella – Day 23 – Long Block Disassembly

Posted on 2020-05-23

Today was all about breaking down the long block and then cracking the case for full inspection of the guts. As I was pulling off the oil deflector I realized that yes, there is no gasket under it nor is there gasket on top of it. With no gasket, and just the metal, there’s a…
