    calling "td5 gurus ":- looks like a home made cover has been fitted to fuel pressure regulator. it as a barbed hose outlet attached as well.

    what's it for ? old school mod ??? is barb a drain or should it be fitted to something ??

    any help will be much appreciated. gofer :-)[/QUOTE]



    if the regulator is still in there then it is a drain, which is odd thing to manufacture why not just replace it if leaking. we used to set up remote adjustable regulators but i must admit a strange thing to do on a td5.

    remove the oil pressure sensor, adapt it to a small facet pump and pump oil in for a minute or 2 then crank the engine over slowly,

    put the sensor back in and now turn it on the starter.

    30 seconds every month or so and it will be right.

    soluble oil ???

    at present i have 2 spare engines so no need to use this engine. i'll put it back in its box. might fit into parts car at later date to give it a run, or pass it on to someone who needs it.
    as always, thanks for input folks. gofer :-)

    my question is to do with corrosion !! after draining the coolant, air has been in the cooling system for years. what are the chances of corrosion in the water pump / oil cooler system ? any thoughts ?? there is no info to suggest it was flushed out before storage. thanks.
    The crack in the FPR housing would likely mean replacing it if putting the engine back in service...
