I just saw this one. It probably won’t matter in use, but the rear balance shaft bearing should be installed in reverse so the horizontal gallery in the bearing can feed the axial load surfaces between the shaft and block. I have taken apart engines done like yours and it didn’t seem to be causing major issues though. There is some wear there, but not enough to cause engine failure. Your transmission jig and work seems well thought out and much better than most people who try without a jig. I hope you are enjoying the car now.

I heard it through the grapevine, Ikea pistons only grow in Sweden. Thankyou for the closeups :). I have also just learned the V4 produced up to 175 hp in its last Rallye evolution 😱

Hope they are useful (closeups). Afaik factory tuned turbo V4 bored and stroked to 1.9 produced 200 HP which made this car go 0-100km/h in 5 seconds.

Thank you! That’s very kind. There’s not really much to it, just stick to the repair manual. Saab ones are very good, I’ve got Haynes as well, but the original repair/maintenance manual is enough to do engine overhaul. Speaking of which check out Hagerty Redline Rebuilds here on KZitem if you haven’t yet. Not only very informative but very nicely done and cinematic.

I got a Ford CL40 skid steer. The engine looks exactly like that. I believe mine was made by ford Germany.

That’s very likely the same engine. Ford for some reason made two V4: this one which is ‘Cologne’ in Germany and ‘Essex’ in England. Those two of course being widely incompatible between themselves. Cologne had many non-car applications like pumps, forklifts, skid steers and stuff like that.

Top coat is Spectral 2k direct gloss and underside is Novol Cobra truck bedliner PU paint colored with same spectral that top of the body was done.

I didn't realise until today that there were 2 different V4 engines used by Ford Europe at this time. This is the Taunus engine, designed in USA but there was also the V4 and V6 Essex engine, designed in England. The Essex V4 was also 60 degree and had a balance shaft but the 1700 was 1663cc whereas the Taunus V4 was 1699cc.

Thank you! Oil pump is from V6, it has bigger volume and slightly bigger pressure (and it's cheaper than the one for V4). Later on the Solex carb that was originally on it, has been replaced with Weber DGAV with K&N square filter box. That's about it. Oh yes and con rod bolts I've replaced with ARP 289-302 Ford V8 (that required some reaming as they are not the exact size - original were metric and I couldn't find them anywhere).
