I'am back. The intermediate project is nearly finished and I plan to do more on this car again. To make this project a little bit more complex I bought a new engine two weeks before.
Yes, it is a complete but quite rusty Ford Zephyr MK II inline six (206E) engine. Unfortunately, it didn't turn. That's not a good sign but hey there are not so many Ford Zephyrs here in Germany. You have to take what you get.
Opening the valve cover was quite promising on the first look.
But after removing the head the horror began.
All pistons were stucked. I could remove four of them without problems. The one which looked so bad could be removed with some more force. The pistons which looked best made the most problems. While removing it the cylinder sleeve came out.
After that I could separate the piston from the liner.
I believe the main problem of the engine was a bad service. I guess no one made an oil change but just refilled oil when the engine had to less. In the oil sump was oil mud and the oil filter of the oil pump was opaque.
Now I am looking for spare parts and/or an expert who can rebuild the engine. Any advice?
