Vanpower 0 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi guys not been on for a while as the project came to a stop, but is now in full swing at weekends. I'm taking my vr6 OB1 ( been informed still not sure) out of my very very rusty mk2 caddy van and putting it into a newer caddy shell. This is being done on my drive but I will not let the good old Manchester weather put me off. Any help at all is appreciated and I'm sorry if my question's seem a bit easy or stupid. I was wondering about changing over the petrol tanks, is it possible to clean out the diesel one and swop over pumps and of you go? Or would the whole diesel tank need to be swopped for the petrol one? Was also wondering if there's any thing I should renew or service whilst the engine is out. Was gonna change the oil, filter, but just wondered if there's anything I should up-grade, or change. Wouldn't mind a little more power but that's down the line once running. Still quite a bit to do lol. Thanks for any help guys ill get some pics up once not on my phone Link to post Share on other sites
abvsean 32 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 think its and obd1..have a look for yourself. http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/topic/7902-is-my-vr6-an-obd1-or-obd2/ looks good should be a good motor when done. as for servicing things it depends how far you want to go,have you heard it run?general servicing stuff is a yes while its out but its a yes when its in too, while its out can do bigger jobs like chains and clutch etc as its alot easier but depends on what you want to do and how much you want to spend.

Vanpower 0 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Cheers. Yeah had it running in the green one before the MOT proved it to be a rot box. Some clever covering up. My thinking was to get most things done whilst out. So clutch and chains are a good start thanks. Ill check when back on it at weekend with the inlet. Still a lot to do yet but looking forward to the finished product. This weekend both engines hopefully out and all parts e.g petrol tank, clocks etc and maybe more not the easiest on your drive but, where's the fun in easy. Link to post Share on other sites
