murena restore

Here is the fig what I am talking about...

Wasn't there yet because no problems on that side, but as far as I can see and translate it is a play limiter.
On that point you have to center the engine with spacers, but the way it's described I don't understand completely.
You have to bring something in line? with something?
Have no time to go to the bottom of it because my plane leaves in a few hours for my holiday.

Thanks. Have a nice trip and holiday! 

I have the two inserts into the inner ring, maybe I have to line the spacers with them...
I thought that there should be something because if you overtorque the bolt you can bend the center of the mounting plates in.

If anyone has experience with this part, please write me. Thanks.

I got the engine mounting bushes at last.  
Those were the most difficult things to get so far...

I have a question concerning the gearbox mounting point. What should be there exactly between the mounting plates on the chassis?
There are inserts pressed into each side of the inner ring and I have some spacers with different thickness. But I can see something in the parts catalog, 'spielbegrenzer - 02021'. What is it?

The spielbeggrenzer - 02021 is the metal ring on the outside of the rubber bush. This levers off the aluminium casting if you need to work on the assembly if I remember correctly.
Add the spacer washers to suit either side so that the mounting plates are not bent in when tightening.

P.S. You may notice in the first picture a remote breather filter for the gearbox.
With the factory standard white plastic breather mounted directly on top of the gearbox oil would come out of this. This was due to the Quaife ATB fitted and chucking the car around tight corners ( and into Armco) with List 1B competition tyres fitted.

Thanks for the answer GP. And the photos show everything for me.

After reviving the side mirrors inside I refurbished the shells and the mounting plates. I used a special black plastic paint which makes rough surface and looks like the original. The paint is quite tough and resistant against mechanical influence, I tested it.

I am satisfied with the result.

[Oetker]

Looking good.
I used this kind of paints also to restore my strips and endcaps on the bumper with good results.



Cleaning with thinner and made smooth wth fine sandpaper.
4 layers of paint and it looks like new.

[klumzer]

Nice.
...and you have an apprentice on the first photo.

Guarding my Matra-stuff

I see, he always helps you in the garage. And he seems to be in very good shape.

8 kilo British shorthair is not abnormal 
They always are big cats.

[klumzer]

 

This "type" of cats are not so common in Hungary. We have "normal" domestic cats. The biggest one was only 5 kilos. Now we have a kitten...

[Oetker]

So lovely.
The kitten has a beauty-full print.
They look   European shorthair like.
We had 2 in the past reaching age 22 years.
The British short hair mostly pass out around 10-12 years.

After some waiting the engine went back to the car and it runs. But there is a problem...

At idle the cooling effectivity is not enough and the water starts boiling in the engine.
At higher rev it works normally and the temperature is max 90 degrees. If we increase the rev before boiling, the temperature goes down to normal.
What can be the problem? Maybe some air trapped somewhere in the circuit?

[Oetker]

I presume you have the system under pressure? (cap on expansion bottle)
Ventilator at radiator jumps in?

Looks like to little flow in the system
Water-pump belt slipping?
What waterpump is in? Tagora?
