Today I got four new belts from Dean Hunter in England: one of the 1280.01 unadjustable water pump belts and three of the super short 5750.18 alternator belts that are common to 1965-1967 404 KF2 engines.

Got a few minutes today to mount the flywheel and then attach the frame for the engine stand.  And now it's on the stand so the reassembly can resume in earnest.

Lining up the timing marks:

Tensioner:

Injection pump with NOS SEDIS drivebelt, correctly tensioned:

All buttoned up:

Another view so you can see the rebuilt Kugelfischer injection pump hanging off the housing.
