The engine block is painted and I added the header pipe just to see what it looks like! Soon I will put the block on the engine stand so I can add the oil sump and do the assembly of the timing cover.

Tonight I put the flywheel on again and then installed the engine on its stand so the rest of the assembly can begin.

Today I did some engine assembly work.

The Kugelfischer injection pump and timing assembly are back on the engine......

Gearbox: no, I just cleaned it and it's raw aluminium.

Assembled the oil pump/distributor drive, retained in place by the distributor collar so it wouldn't fall out when the engine was later upside down, installed the oil pump, sump and a few other small bits. Now the car should be ready to receive its engine for the first time since November 2016.

In between a major bathroom renovation and other home plumbing tasks, I managed to install the new distributor (M50 curve, KF2 spec of course), plug wires, water pump and its famous 1280.01 unadjustable Ventiflex belt.

Having the engine in place is a major achievement.
Let's hope it will start then 🙂

That is the next major step of course, starting! Maybe by the end of May.

This weekend all I did on the car was install the exhaust pipe. With a lift it's a short job but on the ground in a 1.5 car garage it's not. I had to lift the rear up enough to maneuver the rear section so I could actually mate it to the centre section. The clamps on the cylindrical resonator are NOS Peugeot 404 parts that were plated in cadmium in Victoria, as is the rear one on the hanger, but the u-bolt on that hanger is not the original type although it looks the same from below. Good enough! Some fine-tuning may be needed to avoid any noise during normal driving but for now it's good.

I removed the copper plated fuel injector lines from the engine because I was not confident that they were clean, and I flushed each one inside with hydrochloric acid (HCl) using a syringe to flush it back and forth. Lots of rust, particulates and rusty coloured fluid came out at first, and then rinsed with water, and flushed again with HCl, repeating until the acid ran almost clear. Then I flushed with water, and then WD40, and then with STP fuel system concentrated cleaner, and finally with MolySlip Combat. They are as clean as they are likely to get so I reinstalled them after all this, and cleaned the injector attachment and delivery valve attachment too. I think this is the key for anyone with a 404 or 504 injection - make REALLY sure the inside of the lines are clear if the car has not been used for a long time, or if the lines have not been on the car at all for some years.

Some of the stuff that came out of the injector lines when they were flushed!

You can see here the colour - dark orange - of the HCl inside the clear vinyl tube!

After cleaning, they were re-mounted on the engine.

I got a new tube for the radiator overflow, and then installed it in the car.

My Hydrovac was bought NOS in 1993 and was installed in the car around 1998 and so it was in there with fluid for 18 years. It may, in other words, need to be rebuilt. However, in the interests of "wanting to know", I've installed it and I will determine how it is on a road test. Meanwhile, my esteemed US colleague in Le Club 404, Todd Langton, has a 3.5 year old rebuilt unit ready in case I need it....I'm quite sure I will buy it.....

So the engine compartment looks like this (except there's a battery and the wiper motor is installed!), so it's pretty much time to reinstall the hood.

The remaining work:

1. get the new lower rad hose as well as the new 75°C I ordered from Germany in mid-April. I have a very good used lower hose and several old thermostats but I'd rather put a new one in
2. all the fluids (gearbox, injection pump sump oil, brake fluid, coolant, engine oil, windshield washer fluid, ~20L of 94 octane no ethanol gas)
3. verification of valve clearances (engine builder did it but I'll "trust, but verify")
4. use the factory fuel injection tool kit to check the 5 main settings of the throttle body, etc.
5. buy a new battery, check the electrics
6. spin her up with plugs out to spread the oil around
7. then try to start.

2 speed wiper motor mounted. I'm not sure where the motor is in its duty cycle so the wiper arms are off until that's figured out.

A pain in the rear-end to cinch up the accelerator cable fixing screw....but we got it done.

Giraffe funnel makes short work of near zero space to get the oil in the engine!
