German 360 (16v project)

[Cutler]

ehm i just went to the garage to check this and there's def no offset boltpattern. as james said, bolts will fit in every postion.

so i still have no clue how to mount it right

i'm just searching the net but still no info yet.

haha, cool & weird! my memory wasn't as good as i thought then! sorry cutler & thx foggyjames!

in case you're in doubt, put cyl 1 on top dead center, and then put the marking on the flywheel straight up

i did aswell mention this for mounting, so no need searching the net

ok, found this:

that should do the trick

and then put the marking on the flywheel straight up

in the last link above it says

Later flywheels which have a lightly etched arrow, the arrow should be horizontal and pointing to the right.

however, if i use all tricks at once i should get it spot on...at least i hope so^^

woops, delete that! just spoke to guy who just swapped his b200 to a b230 and he sayd this:

get cyl1 to TDC
on the flywheel there is a black marking, put this marking (seen from the rear of the engine) at 15:15hour (to the right)
then bolt holes should perfectly line up + timing ok

[foggyjames]

The LH2.4 flywheels line up at "45 minutes past", and I had a feeling Renix was the opposite...so that makes sense

It's a shame I don't have a Renix car here to check

cheers

got my cbr 1100 carbs this week.





and this thing:



and this guest watching over my work:

[Cutler]

modified oil intake pipe and sump

[Cutler]

engine is in and car back on its feet.



now i'll work on the carbs and the heater box.

i need to order suspension stuff from dai as well but no clue whats going in with his front shocks.

[Cutler]

carbs are cleaned, it was def nessacary. main jets are 145 at the outside and 150 at the inside in the stock setup. drilled them out to 200 on all four carbs. i expect massiv fiddeling anyways so its just a starting point.

[Cutler]

another problem came up: i can't get a single water pump gasket from the dealer, only with a new pump and mine is still good.

will hylomar do the trick instead of the original gasket?

[Cutler]

[foggyjames]

If the waterpump is the same as for a 8v (not sure...), you can get them from other parts stores. I know Euro Car Parts here in the UK do them for 8v.

cheers

i'll just slide that in here:

on sale in ger for a while now. please some germans on here, safe that car!

http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=brvqkzqjigiv

it's to far away from me and i don't have space to store it!

[trabitom99]

It does look good, very low mileage too!

But:
wayyy down south in Munich
no special equipment (cat, PAS air con) to make it deserve that high price tag ...

yeah price is way off most of the time on these kinda selling boards.

but i'm perfectly sure you don't have to pay the price he offers...especially after he realizes that nobody wants the car anyways.

there was a 360 on ebay not to long ago, broken gearbox an pretty neat all around...someone bought it for 1€. was to far away for me as well, would have grabed it right away.

it's a shame that i've got very limited time on my hands in the recent months, can't work on my 360 and not check the net for good volvo cars as well...i'm sure some good offers have been missed. seems like good cars have shown up more frequently in the past year or so.
