Found the problem
Turns out you can mix up the base gasket and put it on the wrong way, blocking the coolant passage.
Luckily no damage to cylinder or piston

On the richer side
Since im still breaking in the new cylinder and piston
Overheating helps seating those rings better
Ive checked the coolant, drained it, flushed it etc
Even with a co tester for blown headgasket and nothing came up.
At first i tought the headgasket is restricting flow, since its got a new cylinder and piston
But i checked this too and flow seemed sufficient
Hello all and greetings from Germany,
i have a weird problem with my 4BL.
The stock temp gauge broke off in the head and would have to be drilled out, thats why i installed a Temp Gauge on the upper Radiator Hose (the T fitting Type) and am reading temps up to 115 celcsius after 5min run time.
Things i checked:
Water pump impeller looks fine and spins with the engine
All hoses flushed
Radiator flushed and cleared
Thermostat removed
Hose from thermostat removed and started the engine to confirm the flow of water.
Jetting on the richer side
When i put 2 temp probes in the upper and lower radiator fins i get a temp difference from upto 40 degrees, so the rad is functioning
But the water coming into the rad is getting too hot
When i start it and take off the temp is stuck at around 30-35 degress for a while and then suddenly skyrockets
No exhaust fumes in the coolant
No overflowing expansion tank
I am lost at this point
Does anybody maybe had the same problem and can help me here ?
I would really appreciate it
Hello Guys and greetings from Germany
i am currently in the process of rebuilding my 4BL and cant find the correct Setting for the Oil Pump.
Some say the Lines should match up on closed throttle, some say they should match up on WOT.
Sadly i cant find the Haynes manual in Germany anywhere.
Maybe someone can help me here
