damn. I checked the oilpump clearance and not good. Tha manual says max 0.15 mm between the gears. I can put 0.2mm between some gears.  IMG_3362 by frederikleyers, on Flickr what do you think? have to change it? also the manual says min lenght of the spring is 26.3 mm. Mine measures more like 25.8.  IMG_3363 by frederikleyers, on Flickr (the photo gives a not so accurate image) My pump has as part number 82317269  IMG_3365 by frederikleyers, on Flickr the manual gives other partnumbers  IMG_3366 by frederikleyers, on Flickr I also found some metal on several different locations in the oil channel. (some in the oil pump, others in the oil breather) they are all the same  IMG_3358 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3357 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3354 by frederikleyers, on Flickr any thoughts ? |

Very odd. Fine turnings of some sort?

To me they look like a small spring clip that would go around a shaft but I can't think of anywhere that such a clip would be on a beta. As regards clearances and spring spec. See the link below https://photos.app.goo.gl/jDAyzLiwVkj3vuPD3 |

yes, that must be it. damn, then there are still a lot of metal pieces to be found. I checked both hoses connected to the breather, but nothing to be found there. |

Okay, so I ordered a new flame trap (and some other things). Not knowing what the function of the oil breather (or crankcase breather) is , i searched some on the internet. This video gives a good explanation of what it does and what the flame trap does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkNand6EiFMI took some pictures of the bottom of the oil breather. Is this complete or is there some part missing (besides the hoses and the bolt)  IMG_3372 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3371 by frederikleyers, on Flickr thqnks |

Have recently taken my unit off for general clean up and re-fit with new seal (where it locates in port on block). Looked just like your unit in photo. Interestingly I didnt appreciate the function of strange gauze/wire in the exit hose - was a bit of a deformed mess but nothng loose, duly discarded. I'll see if I can make something simple to substitute.

I am in dubio and like your advice.
I dont know the condition of the engine. I have had it started briefly but never drove it. Dont know the compression. Now I got the engine on an engine stand and i am thinking what should I do with it. Leave it like it is, or changing the head gasket or even disassemble the wole head , and why not do a total engine rebuild?
Is there any complete rebuild topic of the engine somewhere on the internet? I have looked but not found
I got the 828B000 engine bloc and 4314402 head
are there things I can check to see the condition of the engine (valves not closing, piston rings leaking,...?)
I have checked the sparkplugs and there is a lot of dry carbon on it. but i think the wrong plugs were installed: bpr6es instead of bpr7es

Bwaa, 'just do it', Nike used to say, so.... i took the head off. The 10 headbolts all said 'tack', first i thought i was damaging them. I am not a mechanic, (all my automotive knowledge comes from youtube, discovery channel, and if i am not to lazy the haynes manual) but at first sight i have tree remarks: 1) Like the spark plugs showed, the whole combustion rooms are all carbonised  IMG_3379 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3380 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3381 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3382 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3385 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3416 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3387 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3388 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3389 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3391 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3392 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3393 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3395 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3398 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3403 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3405 by frederikleyers, on Flickr 2) the cilinders are quite smooth, no edges. but ons two cilinders there are some scratches  IMG_3406 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3407 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3413 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3419 by frederikleyers, on Flickr 3) on one piston there is a little piece on the edge broken off  IMG_3414 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3417 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3418 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3420 by frederikleyers, on Flickr any thoughts? |

Your engine has been running rich which is why you have black carbon not chocolate brown. Because of this expect worn bores from the excess fuel washing the oil away. You need to measure the bores using a bore gauge against the specification allowed, but I would expect you to need oversize pistons and a re-bore to get the best from the engine.

After a long winter break I started working on the car again. On the rear end of the car there were some old repairs from a previous restauration. I decided to cut away these patches. Luckely because there was rust on the back side. Old patches welded over the rust:  IMG_3604 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3605 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3606 by frederikleyers, on Flickr my repairs so far  IMG_3594 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3593 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3595 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3596 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3597 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3599 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3601 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3600 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3602 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3603 by frederikleyers, on Flickr hope to start with filler soon now grts |

So I am rebuilding the front suspension. I installed the wishbones, new balljoints and the cv joints. I found a little hole in the boots off the outer cv joint, so I decided to replace them. I ordered hole new cv kits, inner and outer. I removed the boots from the shaft, removed the inner cv joint but I can't get the drive shaft from the outer cv joint. Thats where I am stuck for the moment. BTW: a lot of grease today  IMG_3723 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3724 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3726 by frederikleyers, on Flickr the famous yellow mark again  IMG_3727 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3728 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3729 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3730 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3731 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3739 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3740 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3734 by frederikleyers, on Flickr I had this side already build before I found the hole i the boot  IMG_3736 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3737 by frederikleyers, on Flickr  IMG_3738 by frederikleyers, on Flickr |
