Thank you for your comments

Original engine ist still running but tired.
Took it out of the car and stored it propper (hopefully)

New engine is a rebuilt of an old engine

Its got inserts, oil pressure, is counterbalanced and
has 5,5-head (shame on me)
Excuse: no one over here to do (payable) rebabbits and
US-Vendors dont have overseas warranty
( Scruple is gone once using 2nd rearlight, fuses and 3:54axle )

But it has to be a driver as we want to drive even more than we
did last year.

First start was somewhat bumpy
It stalled often till i found out that
- manifolds not tightened
- sparks without propper clearence (no 2 had contact)

I did shout the mechanic to be an idiot (which was me)

Full floating engine now (chances to use engine-pans in future??)

Once driving, there are strange speed related noises (going off the throttle)
Got to find out about
(Noises are still arround if im "out of gear" so its not the engine).

Additional there are slight noises from leakless waterpump area
(might a new leakless have a bad bearing???)

Thought there might be comments regarding oil-pipe to the camshaft..
No??

Ja - Tom i know that you got sharp eyes and you are right
I thought you would comment the oil-caps on the starter too

Sorry to state that i did not know regarding kink in spark-rod
as i (back in time) bought the first A i ever saw running
Not to many Pre-War-cars left over here ....
I DO LIKE THE KINK Change will be priority : c

BTW
I have thisRadius-ball using the rubber-ball
I do not need springs anymore??
How strong to tighten nuts?
Ball still should be able to move inside ??

Effects of full floating-engine?
Did anyone ever change back to any reason??


Please come back with ideas.

No club nor other A arround - Got to learn from you...

Thank you


Greetings

Christoph
