final update before the engine comes. (ill be away all week when this engine arrives
)
ive baught a second hand mocal oil filter take off plate. the guy i bought it off had a supercharged m42 i belive. and he had to relocate the alternator to the exhaust side of the engine. but ive made a few guesses and I think I could make it owrk with original m44 alternator mount in place. and also using bango type fitting rather than straight or bend type fittings to the pipe. Also I purchased a plate to relocate the oil filter. The guy was a mocal dealer and suggested I wait for the new caps that screw in plate above the filter. but I wasnt kean on this idea as everytime I would need to change the filter I would have to remove all the pipework, as the m44 cap is screw on.
This also has a hole for a oil pressure warning light
here is a few pics of the crank sensor mount for the front off the m44 timing case
I will however beef the mount up as it has been suggested to me and possibly make a guard for it. as it is rather exposed.
And over the past few weeks ive rewired all the wiring that I have previously doe to try and tidy the interior and under the bonnet. I have also relocated the battery to the rear and fitted a master switch etc this pic is half way through, you can just about see the new switch panel and master switch panel
