Looking to get one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1500lb-engine-leveller-superior-quality-engine-crain-inc-vat-/280770646666?pt=UK_Lifting_Moving_Equipment&hash=item415f3c128a Can i just remove some head bolts to attach it ?

it did blurt its coolant weeks ago and i refilled. of course it went for a reason.... going to pull the motor and see what i can find.

if belt slipped it would be instantaneous. The engine light came on twice five mins before hand then cleared. Wouldnt this indicate something confusing the exhaust sensors ? Belts has been on for 60k.... The luck i have had this year you wouldnt believe. The year from hell.....

compressions ..... zero zero 80 155............

Suspected headgasket failure. Want to know if the head can be skimmed and what is the tolerance...

I want to get the fairing on my GSXR repainted ? Anyone local in Northants willing to help me out ? Just looking to splash some white paint on it.

Can a 172 cylinder head be skimmed ? What is the maximum that can be taken off it ?

not the staines massiv !!!

what is it ? how is it done ?

Essex ! Enough said.........................

id go but im off to the Dam instead.

its a k5

surely i just swap over the inlet \ with throttle body onto the new block be it phase 1 or 2 ? the car is a phase 1 ....

i have the complete phase 1 which is a non runner. the idea is to get hold of a new engine. having the option of a phase 1 or phase 2 improves my chances of getting something a bit more readily. i will simply be looking to transplant it all over.

Is this a straight swap between the two ? Even with a cup is it just a simple switch of the different ancilliaries ?

My new toy :) nice gsxr. winter bargain...

I dont fully remove it from the engine bay but just hang it over the passenger wing. The secret with the 172 is that there are no short cuts...believe me i have tried and it takes longer ! I am always concerned by the angle it has to come out and back in at. When dropping it back in try and get...

the secret is if you drop the engine - dont try and catch it ;)

of course i did mine in the snow on the driveway .....

Is the phase 2 not the same then ???

In brief was is it difficult to put a 182 in a 172 (phase 1). Loom issues ?

well done mate. started mine today. have done it before so is going ok...

after closer investigation i have checked the compressions of each cylinder. reading left to right 0 psi, 30 psi, 30 psi, 150 psi. i think this is looking more and more like a headgasket. i had noticed over a few weeks that it had used a little water but put it down to a leak from a jubilee...

i would love to but it is a question of economics. get to use my new bike now though which is nice .....

think it is head related. can see lots of fluid on the piston crowns on 3 cylinders. belt is still in place. looks like it has been breathing heavy to so a catastrophic failure. do you have any engines Fred ?

could i drop in a 172 or a 182 ? what problems would i hit ? i would use the same ignition module etc

On the way home last night engine toxic fume warning flashed then stopped then flashed again then stopped. Half a mile up the road and the engine stops with the chritmas tree warnings. Pullover and just turns over. Can see cams moving so not cambelt. Removed the plugs this morning and no...

jubilee clip all day for me and lean the alternator forward to get a few useful extra millimetres free......

what..

never heard of these but did see a polo with some 'odd' wheels on it. from the back they looked like kart wheels and tyres. looked like it handled like a bag of s**t...
