Engine/gearbox/pump/everything completely stripped and rebuilt
This engine was working fine when i bought it just 2 problems: a burst original cylinder jacket (unrepairable) and a missing water pump.
the pump was easy to replace from spares, and obviously it now upgraded s/s water pump shaft i always fit, and triple double-lipped skf pump seals loaded with white grease so thats all built to last forever.
the gearbox is fine, renewed any bearings or gears or parts showing any wear, the engine i discarded the new bearings and seals and fitted new ones i know are good quality and correct cclearance/reliable type, it was all rebuilt with cleaned castings, zinc primed and painted before and after assembly.
uprated chrome piston rings added, with new top quality bosch mirror-finish points and HT and champion plug, and a refurbished tuned carburettor which of course has a new membrane, working perfectly on all 4 ports atomising fine spray that wont misfire.
Then to literally 'top it off' the cylinder conversion;
This is a marvelous solution to a common problem;
the problem is that the Vire 6 cylinder cooling jacket internally rusts and when it splits open and leaks, it cannot be repaired (cast iron cannot be welded without warping the bore, and cold-solutions like epoxy could catch fire from the hot manifold). Since the cylinders have not been manufactured since 1962 and the last stock exhausted in the 1970s owners have had to either throw their overheating/leaking engine away or waste time and money on unsafe bodges or make matters worse. Until now!
not only can you replace your cylinder a lot cheaper and easier (take about an hour- and you only need to spanner some nuts and screw tight some hose clips) than a whole vire 7 engine, but it will be better in many ways than you ever had it - read on....

Procedure installing Upgrade kit:
Note: you will have the same 'exhaust-drying' procedure as before i.e. you should close the injection tap a minute before stopping the engine (now dry and cant corrode/decant) and only open the tap when the engine is running (stop flooding the exhaust and keeps engine dry)
