Hi
my uncle had to change engine to his van.

so i took the old one in order to clean it - paint it and have it as a decoration


the engine couldnt keep working in idle... some crack noises ,oil leaks and a lot of end play were the reasons to place an other engine..


here are some pictures i decide to take after i dissemble it.

Have fun :

surprise !!!!





























































(it wasnt like this.... had a lot of burned oil. i decide to clean it in order to read the numbers)
















































































dual relief case.. wow!!

WOW,,, It's amazing that the thing would even run at all.

Caslor,

As usual, nice pics. Kind of like a funeral, I'm afaid! The split bearing picture is one that needs to be saved for posterity. A classic, if I ever saw one!

Amazing...

That's one of the filthiest engines I have ever seen, ugh!

Note the slice at the base of the step on the crank nose - caused by using early large-I.D. endplay shims on an O-ring crank. The endplay has obviously been out-of-control for a long time.
Goes to show you why 1300s have such a reputation for longevity - they run and run (if you can keep ahead of the oil leaks) because they hardly make enough power to blow themselves up.

marc you have right....
there was no rubber o ring in the crank shaft.... (the crank had a gap for that..i notice it)


this engine was bought before 15 years ago as a used-repaired from my uncle...

it was placed in this van



(this is my cousin )

we call it Highlander (from the movie) because never dies this van


and takes a lot of weights inside all this years... but the engine last for 15 years without major repairs


thanks all of you for watching this post

looks like classic "shop truck" to me.

Just reading through getting familiar with engine issues and came across this!! What kind of tool is this? What is it called? Where can I get one?

How accurate is it in measuring? If I were taking an otherwie good engine apart to "freshen it up", would this tool work to check tolerances and out-of-round situation (followed by plastiguage of course) when lacking a good set of micrometers?

Thanks!! Looks really handy.

seeing the 77.45 marking on the piston I assume that's a factory oversize 1300 piston, you don't see those everyday!

That's a real handy template tool to see if a crank or case has been machined and to what degree. It's just for quick assessment of parts and as such it's a VERY rough guide, it would not stand in for the tools you actually need to build engines.

Get a 6" digital caliper, even the HF one is pretty accurate and very inexpensive, as are their 1",2",3" micrometer set. I make my living with these exact tools and cross-check my mics with my machinist's much more expensive ones, they agree to the 0.0001", and as long as his and mine agree we can collaborate from different towns.

If you want to check bores a set of snap-gauges with your caliper can get you pretty close, but that method takes a lot of practice and still is hard to make as accurate as an actual bore gauge, which you can get at JEGS or Summit for about $80 with resolution to .0005".

Thanks for the quick reply and the information. I have the HF micrometer set and snap guages, maybe I'll have to do some carparisons and get used to their accuracy (as stated they are only accurate to 0.001 ) . I just had never seen that tool before and was maybe too hopeful.

Thanks again.
