Half way though getting the sump off Lou text me to say about the posts On JOV about the water pump can be noise if its shot. well to start with who the Fudge at vauxhall thought it would be a good idea to put bungs in to cover 2 bolts for the sump? half an hour of swearing at it we discovered the last 2 bolts!
Anyway, i think a few pictures will help here.
Not so long ago it was a white Nova sat like that!
The offending item.....
One big end bearing, when we looked both the bearing linings were on the same side which is why it was Knocking.
now has anyone ever found this on any of their original Vauxhall engines?
That will be the Shell, look at the part which will mate with the Conrod, Dad said he was shocked to see that it wasnt machined to a flat surface! i know when we rebuilt my Nova SE engine they were machined. just wondering if anyone had found the same and if they should be flat or not.
