Differences CVRT J60's : Belgian vs. late UK versions

Hello Friends

I found some little differences as i changed the engine on my Spartan and want to share it with you:

Both vacuum-pipes on the Belgian one where connected to the carb manifold. UK: Holes are plugged and one pipe is connected to the airfilter i believe.

Solution: I just swapped a Fitting from the Belgian one to the plugged manifold of the UK one.

Belgian engine had a "hidden" rev-limiter fuse, located left of the thermostat housing, on a bracket. Also there was a earth-strap mounted on the bracket. Just to be on the safe side, i also connected there a earth-strap on the new UK engine and one from the lower block down to the vehicle hull.

Also the coolant draining valve on the UK engine is modified. Shown here the early pipe with valve located under the filter bowl.

A little trick to change the engine with the generator in place, is to slightly lift the rear of the engine. So i was able to turn it slightly to the driver's compartment and lift it out easy with the generator in situ.

Maybe this could be helpful for someone.

Kind regards,

Raph

Dear Ralph,

hugely helpful, I have this task to do after my holidays this fall at work. We are using just as you did an MOD rebuilt engine as the replacement
