also hows the axle holding up? other than the changes you've said and new seals have you done anything else to it? do you think it'll last with what the v8 is putting out? also how are the brakes?

Turning the oil pump around like that was a stroke of genius, I suppose as they say, "necessity is the mother of invention". I can remember reading the magazine article at the time when it told of this having been done (but without mentioning the sump mods or other important details) and it just not making any sense to me as I couldn't see how just rotating the pump on its own would even be possible. The mag just mentioned 'turning the pump around'as if it was some kind of simple alternative mounting position, and then went on to repeat it the folowing month in an article about transplanting the BMW V8.
Adding a clutch friction face by way of a slice of barstock like that is an idea I also thought about and that I'm still considering. I had thought about making a complete new flywheel from scratch and just transferring over the starter ring gear. Radial holes could them be bored to work with the stock engine speed pick up (assuming a stock ECU could or would be used), and also used for balancing purposes. I was thinking about machining back the centre section of the original auto driveplate at the crankshaft mount fixings uniform and making the new surface also bolt directly to the crankshaft though, sandwiching the reduced thickness of the original driveplate.
I was surprised at how substantial the factory driveplate is on these engines..... not the flimsy pressed 'flex-plate' that is featured on many other autos. The dual-mass flywheel isn't attractive, and aftermarket single piece replacement items are very expensive. Mmmm.
On your nearside mounting bracket, did you use a gasket at the oil supply fitting under the new steel plate or did you fit an O-ring in there somehow? The braided lines and remote oil filter housing from an M62 might have been of some use there too?
I'm really enjoying reading this thread.

Great work there fella.  Is there a risk of the flywheel fracturing? Would hate to see anything fail and cause you problems. |
