いよいよ、エンジンをバラバラにして、オーバーホールのための具体的準備を始めました。まずは、問題の発端となった、中心軸受け部分がガタガタに剥離しはじめていたものの何とかくっついていたベークライト製のカムギアを引っ張ったら、写真のように、いとも簡単に分解してしまいました。もし、あのまま、走っていたら、きっと、すぐに、この状態となり、当然、エンジンはブローアップしていたでしょう。本当に、決断を下して良かったと思います。で、ピストンを外し、燃焼室を覗いたら、カーボンというかスラッジというか、物凄いことになっていました。ひとつの燃焼室を磨いたものの、汚れたままの燃焼室をご覧ください。この有様でした。さらに各シリンダー弁の焼け具合もまちまち、、、。中の一本など、まるで錆びたような状態でした。本当に、良くここまで走ってきたものだと、我ながら感心、、、というか、唖然。さらに、メタルは、比較的綺麗だったのですが、中のひとつには、「虫食い」のような状態も発見。これも時間の問題だったかもしれません。ということで、ガレージに来てくれて、いろいろアドバイスをしていただいた１２３ＧＴのＯさんと、専属メカニックと共に、必要部品発注のための洗い出しをしました。結局、ＣＶＩとＩＰＤというＶＯＬＶＯ旧車パーツを扱っているスウェーデンの部品屋にオンラインで発注。この際、せっかくバラしたのだから、可能な限り新品部品に、、、ということで、合計すると、１９００ＵＳ＄つまり、約１７万円＋送料税金の部品代となりました。ま、「・１２２」ＡＭＡＺＯＮの延命大手術ですから、いたしかたない、、、と自分に言い聞かせています。明日は「ＡＭＡＺＯＮ紅葉ツーリング」で那須塩原を経由して福島県会津の「ダーナラ ゲストハウス」まで７台のＡＭＡＺＯＮを連ねて行ってきます。Ｎさんからお借りしているスペアエンジンも快調そのもの。エンジンのオイル交換も終わり、あとは、今日午後に洗車ワックスをかければ、準備万端です。約３０年振りのＡＭＡＺＯＮ仲間とのツーリング。とても楽しみです。
The Amazon .122 engine has finally been dismantled and is now ready for a complete overhaul. The center of the cam gear had started to fall off but had still been holding on, but when we pulled on the bakelite cam gear, it fell apart as you can see in the photo. If I had continued to drive in this condition, the gear would have fallen apart while I was driving and the engine would have blown up. I am now glad that I made my decision not to drive the car any further. After taking off the pistons and looking into the combustion room, I was surprised to see a whole lot of something that was like carbon or sludge. I took a photo after one of the rooms were cleaned out and you can see the dirty one next to it as a comparison. The cylinders showed various degrees of blackness and one of them looked like it was rusting. Its a miracle that the engine was able to come this far under these conditions. The metal portion was relatively clean, but one of them looked like it had been eaten by bugs. In any case, 123GT owner Mr. O and the mechanic put their heads together and started to make a list of necessary new parts. We decided to order from 2 sources - CVI and IPD which are Swedish parts retailers which sell old Volvo parts on line. I wanted to really clean up and change anything that looked a bit out of sorts to new parts and the total came out to be 170thd yen plus freight. Oh well, this should allow my .122 to live several years longer - so I am telling myself. We will go touring thru Nasu Shiobara from tomorrow to visit the Dalarna Guesthouse - a Swedish inn in Aizu Fukushima prefecture. Seven Amazons will be joining us for the drive up to the guest house run by the same owner as the Lilla Dalarna Swedish restaurant in Roppongi. The engine I am borrowing from Mr. N is running very well with the engine oil being changed. I will wax the car this afternoon and look forward to a Amazon tour which will be my first after a 30 year blank.
