Continuing working on the Lambda wideband controller project, my engine stand has been away for a number of years at a friends but got dropped off when he was picking up a cam. I've added wheels so I can roll it into a corner then forget about it :lol:. I wanted to be able to test the controller so took Amy's engine which has been sitting for 10 years :shock: :cry: http://forum.theimpclub.co.uk/viewtopic ... 7s+chamois. Where does the time go :o anyhoo it was running when it was removed and dry stored since, couple bits missing - no carb, I sold it as it was a 24mm solex. She was 15 when she first got the car so twin carbs not an option at the time despite it being a 930 with ported head, the base plate for the dizzy also missing -think it was to replace another where the points screw hole was stripped.

Mounted it and then wire up the stand with an electric water pump/ rad fan and fuel pump so I have flexibility to run the engine with either electric or manual as it suits as all switched individually. The push start button is on on a long cable so that I can turn it over and adjust dizzy or carbs at the same time.

I put on a pair of newly rebuild strombergs that are to go on Gordon's Van, modified the exhaust to take the lambda sensor and fitted another base plate with new electronic ignition. After new plugs and oil I attempted to fire it up, got flames for the exhaust so rechecked the timing, had another go and it fired up :D

Had everything I needed apart from some heater hose which I think I have at home, so will take up timing light and carb balancer with me tomorrow and see if we can get it running sweetly then connect up the lambda tool.

After fitting the heater hoses and filling the cooling system I started setting it up, the lambda controller worked fine but just couldn't get the sweet spot so started digging and it soon be apparent that not 4 cylinder was not at the party. On stripping it down there was minimal clearance on no. 4 exhaust so pulled the head off to find it burnt. I guess Amy's 30000 miles a year had its toll, the bores are good and crank and bearings on the two I pulled looked perfect so will go again with a little work.

Pulled out another engine that was running when it was removed, this time it Karen's engine from her sport- seems we might have been here before :?
It was pretty dirty as I don't like to clean them and then having them sit as it's the best way to have them rust up but came up ok after a pressure wash.

Battery went flat while setting up yesterday so recharged a couple - one to run the engine and the other to power the lambda controller as it seems to use a fair bit of power and test bed not running an alternator at present.

Once they were charged, finished setting up. It's been an interesting exercise, I ended up doing the same as with the twin 40's in that the I set the throttle stop screws to 1&1/2 turns from close and then don't touch them as adjusting them changed the mixture and any less than this caused it to run poorly.

The mixture adjustment tipping point was then easy to find once I had accepted the starting point was much weaker than the factory setting, it required a tiny tiny turn to change the mixture from too weak and starts to stall. It was then possible using the Lambda controller to match both carbs by richening a single carb until the AFR's fall then weaken again to match the other.

Best set up turned out to 13.5 AFR with an idle speed of 1100 rpm.
IMG_20200722_164150.jpg
While I was waiting on the batteries to charge I pulled out another Sport engine, it was one I had bought for the head and it was supposed to be a low mileage engine - aren't they all :lol:

Stripped it down as I don't know it true condition, after pulling the head it's clear it was worth doing as water way around 4 gunked up as they do but all fairly soft.
IMG_20200722_130541.jpg
However the bores and piston clearances look to be excellent and is genuinely a low mileage one. :D

Bearings are mint and would go again as they are but will probably replace along with new rings.

Started the reassembly of the Sport engine, decided just to put back together as condition was very good and don't have any real use for it as I already have engines for mine and the girls cars when they're restored. :oops:

This might be a silly question, but has anyone used an engine stand like this? The studs on the Imp engine are too short for the moveable mounting arms so I was thinking of drilling suitable holes in the plate they attach to instead. Alternatively, using a bellhousing/diff case to bolt to instead.

I made a specific bracket so I can get into flywheel area a bit easier. For the VW flat 4 I just use a different yoke. Only 2 engines type ever been mounted on it and I found the arms pretty useless

Been waiting on the call to get the Van up to use a friends sand blasting equipment, got it this morning when I was out picking stuff up - typical :roll:

So beetled it back to the shed and grabbed the trailer as the Van already loaded but had to clear all the junk from around the trailer first as you do. :oops:

Nice dry day but rain in the forecast for this evening so under pressure to get it done and home before it rains.

John

I dont remove any of the studs at all, if you look at the end of the tubing there are flanges and the bellhousing stud fits through there and you just bolt it up.

My mate Paul does remove the studs, usually ending up having to loctite them back in (can only do that so much) as he uses same stand but with the adjustable arms and that was just way too much hassle for me, plus the size of the rounds on the arms and proximity to the flywheel blocl really most work on clutch if I recall.

With that "custom" plate I made Flywheel is free and you can bolt a starter in, fit clutch (including alignment tool) and run it.

The flanges point inwards towards the flywheel. Only took me a couple of hours to knock up. Work looking around what spare bits are in the shed. The tubing I used is just old eletrical steel conduit, the back plates are just a few layers of 2mm steel plate stitched together to make it thicker.

I use one, but I do remove 3 bell housing studs, although that has never been a problem.

Your roads were quiet because all everyone else was the on A470 going to Storey Arms and Pen y Fan! Never seen so many cars there. If people just took 5 minutes to look there are plenty of quieter places to go and still have the views.

Not work on the nymph and I didn't do it but I now have a deep hole where half of my new garage will be :D
Final size should be 18x29 feet.with 7x29 feet sunk by 2feet to keep the neighbours happy .
Although not a level floor I should still fit 2 cars in tandem in one half .

If it had suddenly gone from firing on all 4 down to 3 cylinders when you were actually on the road I'm sure that you would have noticed straight away Andy! However - I experienced the same sort of effect after one of Suzy's plug leads (No 1 again) somehow came off during an MOT test. As I drove her away she didn't seem quite right but there was no misfire or roughness at all. I drove like that for about 15 miles to get home thinking, like you, that the timing had slipped. Fortunately the real problem stared me in the face when I opened the engine cover. Surprising though - I'd have expected the occasional backfire at the very least.

Good to hear the van is running and back on the road. Hope to see you soon!

Two days worth here. Yesterday we had a small family party to celebrate our Golden Wedding. Suzy has been a constant part of that relationship from the very beginning – she couldn’t be with us in the party room but was there in icing form on the cake (made by Dawn’s youngest sister). Today Suzy took us back to our honeymoon hotel – where she had taken us all those years ago. Same car, same hotel, same happy couple - just a bit older!

A major achievement indeed not many can say that now, similarly not many can say I've worked for this company for 50 years too, but I can say I've nearly owned an IMP for 50 years :D
