Oil Breather Pipes & Left Over Wires

[Guest ciggy2000]

Hi All,

 

After fitting a replacement engine to my early 205, I'm a bit puzzled... I think the replacement engine is from a later model, so there are one or two niggles.

 

1. First, there is now an oil breather on the rocker cover where, once, there wasn't. Is this vital, or can I use the old rocker cover as I don't have the pipes required?

 

 

 

2. Throttle body pipe connections. I'm a bit unsure about A. I think B goes to the expansion bottle. C is a vacuum pipe that goes to the side of the distributor. D goes to the thermostat housing. I have idea about E either.

 

 

3. F is a wire that is spare. It has lost its connector on the end. It leads to the alternator area.

 

 

4. G is another puzzle. The oil level sensor plug is only used on the old engine, so G should be around that area- the rear of the engine. It looks like an earth with a round connector to go on a bolt, but its red (green sleeve at end)??

 

Sorry about the long winded question. These are the only things left to sort out and since the old engine was taken out five years ago, I can't quite seem to remember!

 

Thanks for any help received.

Connect 'A' to the top of the stat housing, No need to have water running thru the throttle body, so making 'A', 'B' & 'D' redundant

'B' would go to the oil filler cap, But as you have a pre 1986 car just blank this off along with the cam cover which youy can swap with your old engine

'G' looks like the oil temp (Back of the sump)

'F' should be the starter motor

Hi Miles,

 

Thanks for your reply. I have taken your advice and have used the old rocker cover and placed a blanking plug on A. I have taken the water pipe off D and routed this pipe from the stat to the expansion bottle top right. This leaves B and D dry.

 

You were quite correct with G, thanks. I didn't see the oil temp sensor at the bottom of the sump!

 

So that just leaves E and F. I don't think E is used, but I'm stumped with F. There is already a thin wire (yellow) going to the starter motor solenoid (also the chunky wire from battery positive). The starter kicks in and turns the engine ok... Any ideas?

 

Thanks again,

I think Miles made a little typo... E goes to the oil filler on newer cars.

IIRC the yellow wire on Ph1 cars should go to the tachymetric (fuel) relay mounted in the black box on the n/s chassis rail (Ithink it provides for fueling whilst cranking, so would be live at this point) and the blue,as said, to the starter.

The thin Yellow I think is the oil pressure (I havn;t seen a Ph1 for a while so my memory fails me )

With E you can block this off as well.
