Hey Looking Good  Notice your Oil Pump is Missing too  Did you just take it apart and refurb it? I know Oil Pumps for Autos are no obsolete  Unless anybody knows any different? Gawd id kill for a garden big enough to disect cars like that  We don't even have a driveway or a garage Thats all that stops me from tinkering more ;D ;D ;D |

Hi,
oil pump was stripped and checked and found to be with in spec and no scoring etc so it went back in. This motor had lost forward drive so I took it out to replace the forward clutch set. Then while it was out I felt I should make the extra effort and freshen it up a bit. The head was skimmed and ported and polished up a bit , the cylinders checked and found to be not in need of a rebore so new rings fitted and all reassembled. Then I thought it prudent to check the condition of the seals, o rings etc in the main transmission while it was out. Torque convertor ok( god they hold some oil not supprised it is impossible to get a full oil flush and change done with the autos!!!) Top and reverse was removed and checked and found to be in good order so where the seals and o rings . ( I should have used new ones but I had to stop spending somewhere) . housing and sump were to be cleaned while attached to the block but it was so horrible on the bottom I elected to remove the trans from the block and really clean it up.
Turned out to be a blessing as the gears were much easier to insert with the motor off as the brake bands caught all the time when I was not working from the top down.
Diff was removed and checked too. Really the only thing not done was the bottm end of the engine. This was inspected , poked and prodded with out disasembly and seems ok. The engine ran very well prior to mthe loss of auto drive so I suspect it has some life in it yet.
I learnt alot and a digital camera to take lots of photos as I pulled things apart helped no end!!!!!!!!!

Hope you don't mind but i linked your pics here Looks a great little project Hey if you took lots of pics maybe you could share them with us and explain what stages of the overhaul they represent If you can up load them to flickr just number them in order 1-2-3 etc then write up the overhaul bit saying see photo 1-2 etc and ill link them up for you if you get my drift? Makes me feel like having a go myself Boris wont need doing again now hopefully for quite some time as he was Overhauled by Mra Minis just 4 months ago though id like to take on a second project in the future so maybe just maybe ill do that one myself and learn a thing or two |

Awe thats a shame Haydn But thank you for the kind offer to strip your other unit and take some pics We like pics and I'm sure all our members would love to see how one of these Transmissions come apart and go back together again  Huggz Jodie |

As a huge fan of the ADO16 autos, I thank you in deciding to save this rarer Wolseley.  What was the donor car?  |
