Time to start an engine.I have two 2,25liter petrol engines to choose from. One is a series 2 engine, probably the original power to Plutten. It has had a quick check and then been conserved for the future (filled with oil and valves shut).
The engine we (I and my uncle Ole-Johnny) chose to try to wake up and put into Plutten is a series 3 engine (well, I can't tell the difference, but my uncle pointed out a few modifications).
After having removed the cylinder head we could see that the engine was in good shape. It had not been turned for a long time though, so some rust had started to show inside. Ole-Johnny guessed that it had been through a service after having an earlier stand-still before the perhaps ten years it had been standing before I bought the engine... So, the history is probably that it has been standing for a while, then have had a service with new gaskets etc, driven for a time, then been standing still again for a long time. All together, he dint think it had run very much... Finally something good about this car!
As you might have noticed, the engine is red. Shouldn't be... But since I have a correct coloured series 2 engine saved for the future, I don't mind really.
Here my father Ingvar (also a SLRK member) and my son Måns (G4) are giving a helping hand at the dismantling.
Finally some inside photos.
