I did seem to have a few sensors left over though and I seem to have three temperature senders, so I must be doing something wrong - I think I have to replace some of the Honda ones with new ones, and I have a feeling there is one I don't use at all. Another call to Westfield will be needed:
 |
| Not sure where this goes, or indeed if it goes anywhere |
 |
| They gave me this one too |
 |
| And it looks like this is the wire for it |
So in addition to the Honda sender on the back of the engine, I have these two. I have a feeling I take the Honda one out and use the one in the plastic bag as that came with the Dash2 dashboard unit. Then perhaps the first one isn't used at all - I have nowhere to screw it into!
I think I did solve one mystery - I had plugged one plug into the temperature sender on the back of the engine, but I had a sensor left over when I had finished (the air intake temperature sensor). I just checked and the plug fits this one too, so I think that is where that one goes and it is in the bin with the sensor on the back of the engine and one of the two others will replace it.
I have a similar problem with the oil pressure switch - Westfield supplied what I presume is a replacement for the Honda part, but there are two spade connectors on it, and the harness has a single eyelet on the wire - which would fit the Honda it. Add that to the list of questions for Westfield!
I also had to wire up a plug for the alternator as the harness came with two bare wires. The only trouble is the plug was for four wires and the harness only has two. I think I got it right, but I need to check with Westfield:
Finally, time to reveal the new valve cover. The red would clash with the blue and orange finish for the car, so I just had to go with this. I had stripped and painted the spare valve cover a while back, but I wanted to wait until the engine was in before fitting it, just in case it got damaged. We will see how the paint holds up to the underhood temperatures:
