Unless the block got damaged and it's leaking into combustion chamber some how. Saying that the bores should have been checked when honed. Strange one. Not healthy to use that much oil though, unless they stuck a wankle under there ;)

Lol. Chav tastic

What was the reason for rebuilding bottom end?

So basically some garages don't know the correct methods, and will always fall short. They shouldn't be allowed to sell kit with incorrect instructions as surely the likes of gates would be liable for any issues that are likely to occur. What's even more baffling is how the f**k do they get...

barge racing ftw :D

I was looking at a gates cambelt kit the other day which comes with a guide on how to do it with pics. Now it makes sense to me, but doesn't anywhere mention that you need to use the pully locking tool. Only the crank and cam. Surely this is a recipe for disaster as the cam locking tool is quite...

Diagnostics won't check this. As mentioned, trial and error is the best way

Oh. Lol. Could be then. :oops:

Just a suggestion, keeps it sealed until you work on the head. It only takes 10min to take it off after all. You could remove it and wrap it though

I doubt the decoder will be gone mate. Light would flash like crazy if so. Key validation sounds the most likely

Just enough oil to keep the bores lubed. I'd leave the head on until you actually do the work

don't let them rings rust is all i'll say :(

^^they wont move :approve: Not sure on the heat tolerances on them though.

BTB = no ties required :)

You shouldn't just change springs. Dampers require a revalve to suit. Ast will set them to your spec. Presumably KW will do the same

421s should be fine on standard internals. Looks like you've been unlucky mate. You looking fir a new lump now?

May be up for this if my car is ready in time.

What made you go for ktec exhaust Mark? When's the car going to be at tdf?

You say that Dave, but I'm not convinced. Pass and fiddle aside. Go down cambs, Bedford, oxfordshire and they are very spoilt :(

I know that ;) I mean the bolt spacing on the plenum where it attaches. If you put the dbw and fbw tb back to back the 4 bolt holes don't line up

Cheers Colin. That's what he's got but it doesn't fit ph2 plenum. Didn't realize they were different where the tb attached

Probably 500 for fitting too. Including cambelt etc. Kit if it's been a while.

;) Come on ph1 guys, it's written on it.

Anyone know this? My mates just got one, but it doesn't fit the ph2 plenum. Didn't realise there was a size difference, which makes me think it's the wrong one. Thanks in advance :)

what's the car doing? have you tried wiggling or cleaning the CPS?

Sorry for the stupid question Mick, but what conditions does the part washer work under? Temp? cleaning solution etc?

How long has this build taken? Going to take? Seems ages.

epic work lads :approve: Lol at the captain hat :cool: Oh and the stickers make the car look mint mate. Maybe not for keeps though. Love the shark effect!!!

:S sounds wrong to me. Sure if you change the oil regularily then it will improve longevity, but you'll still need the plates replacing.
