for the bmw shafts length, i plan to cut them and machining a tube welded on cutted shafts
this weekend was used to resolve fuel smells on my car :
I delete genuine fuel tank vent and made new air intake from fuel cap hose
the small green hose is comming out of the car for delating pressure in summer

sad news :
after starting engine , this one doesn't run correctly (n°3 cylinder not efficient and I have some returns in n°1 carb (I can see sometimes gaz pressure going into the vacuum pipe or exhausting across the carb port at slow down rev speed)
I have tested the pressure and 1 cylinder is 2 bar less the others
after undo the cylinder head, this is what we can see:
![Image](https://i.servimg.com/u/f95/14/89/04/97/img_2105.jpg)
1 piston has visibly heat a valve... and another is different and looks new
I decied to rebuilt the engine... the bores are wear of 0.2mm
my engine lifter was too short to access to the engine !

I made something else who made the job ! :

the water pump is in perfect condition as you can see...![Smile :)](https://lotuselan.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
the casing is in poor condition and has already been modified with aditionnal ring for bearing
I plan to make a removable water pump as we can find in several lotus parts shops
![Image](https://i.servimg.com/u/f95/14/89/04/97/img_2111.jpg)
one new piston ;but only one !
![Image](https://i.servimg.com/u/f95/14/89/04/97/img_2110.jpg)
oil sump looks bad too ; and I don't know if it's the correct one for my car
![Image](https://i.servimg.com/u/f95/14/89/04/97/img_2112.jpg)
I think I haven't the correct engine for my car : the car is a +2S /130 big valve 1972 but crankshaft has only 4 holes and has the early oil seal retainer type
do you know when the crankshaft pass to 6 holes type ?

Hello, I sat down tonight to make myself a set of 3D printed spacers for the bonnet catch as shown in earlier posts. My wooden spacers are too warped to get a measurement out of. Could you post the thickness of the top and botoom of the wedgees?
I come back to this build string regulary to check for updates. I like your approach and hope you are pushing on with the rebuild.
