Dear Laurence,

Thanks  for your reply.

In the meantime I dismantled the waterpomp and see its a mesh inside.

They  made a mechanical seal in it ,wich also worn and then put an o ring in it to close it.

( for a few seconds,)

So i machined a new bush in the house at the seal place. The bras bellow is not there.

I not damaged/ machine the housing so i have always the open road for another solution.

(By my sunbeam they used grease cord just like a ship but i suggest this can not have the pressure in this pressured system.)

With the new bush i bin able to make a double high pressure vitton oil seal in it ,with in between a grease space.
I have no idea if this is the right way but  try.

Thanks for your advise about the ignition timing, i try this after everything is build back in place from the waterpump.

its a very logical option starting static at tdc..

Thanks Laurence,

for the reply but I worked it out in the meantime.

i compare the head and block and realise the sleeves have to be a bit longer.

i made new mls gaskets and in the meantime the engine is running.

the next problem is the ignition timming,

the said in the book 30 degrees but by wich rpm or by how many degrees by 1000 rpm.

i also started today at the waterpump wich is leaking out off the drain hole quit a lot.
