Rebuild Dorie: Engine: Carburator

The original carb and the original inlet manifold are available. But the vendor also included Weber 40 DCOE carbs. When I checked the DOC ning last week I read a entry Glenn (I suppose), where it was said that two DCOE Weber can not be fitted to the Kent in the Dutton since they collide with the master brake cylinder. I couldn't find the thread any more (why?). Is that true? Do any work arounds exist?

Rebuild Dorie: Engine: Valve springs

I read that improvements on the Kent need enhanced valve springs. Here I got a picture of the springs. Can one tell from the look if those will work? Or how I can find out if the proper springs are used?

Rebuild Dorie: Engine: Head

I measured the inlet and outlet with a calliper rule. So the (rather roughly measured) sizes are

Inlet      39.75 mm

Exhaust 33.7 mm

This comes close to the standard stage 2 head measures (inlet: 39.5 mm, exhaust: 34 mm). So I suppose the measures are a stage 2 head (or near it). What set me up a little is, that the inlet valves look kind of different. Here is an overall view…

Rebuild Dorie: Engine: Pistons

Here is a top view on the cylinders:

As promissed by the vendor, the motor is already overhauled. The cylinders look properly grinded and the cylinders fit perfectly. The vendor told me that the 1300 pistons are used to higher the compression ratio. From the imprint on the pistons I reckon that the bore is also enlarged:

The inprint says:…

Rebuild Dorie: Engine

The first thing I tried to occupy is the engine. It is a modified 1600 Ford Kent 711M.

Last Saturday I took of the head to take a look at the cylinders and pistons. There will be a blog entry for each of the parts.

Rebuild Dorie: Getting started

Hey again everybody,

I'm finally getting started on rebuilding my old lady, Dorie. This blog is intended to summarize the rebuild of Dorie for your interest and for the interest of further rebuilds. I try to fill it with a as much information as possible.

At first, I few words on me: I just finished my Bachelor thesis and continue with the masters degree with further 2 years of education. Since the subject is quite theoretical, I wanted a practical thing to get my hands on.…

Go faster Sierra

Found a problem with this V8, 16 valves to grind in, 16 rockers to grind and polish, 16 ports to clean up 8 pistols to weigh and balance,plus rods to polish and balance. I'll be here for days! Fingers are rubbed raw and I've only stripped it all and acid cleaned it all. The garage smells great :-)))

750MC January Autotest, 10/01/16

Hey all,

Just got back from the Autotest. Had a pretty good day. Well, better than the last one, anyway. Here's how it went down.

You may recall the last time I took it out we couldn't really play with it, as the cooling fan died and we had to watch the temperatures. Glad to report that, this time, the two Cheapanese eBay replacements did just great. Temps didn't go above a comparatively icy 95 degrees or so all day with the fans wired on permanently. One weak…

Autotest, take two! (i.e., here we go again.... )

Hey folks!

Yes, we've got about about 37 minutes of daylight each day up here at the moment, it's piss-cold and miserable, and that's before the kind of floods that make fitting an outboard to the back of the Phaeton a realistic proposition. But hey, there's a local club organising an Autotest on Sunday, and there's nothing like a freezing wet Autotest in a kit car to finally shift a lingering hogmanay hangover.

So, here we go again.

Following on…
