Engine dismantled... oops

i dismantled the engine today, to see the damage and to get the head off which i am retaining for my next engine..

so we started te day with the engine on the stand

then i relaised that i had forgot to drain the oil, and this is what started to come out, you know you got problems when you see this!

cam carriers off

head off, NICE!

took the head off complete so i can put it straight on the new b/e

i decided i wanted to see the damged, so i flipped it over, sump off

pick up off

have a feeling that, if and when my engine gets replaced along with gearbox, it will look something similar! wld u like my engine to have a play with and dismantle see what u find!?! lol

 

[ollie]

Wow, wish I could take my engine to bits and put it back together properly lol!

wont be re-building this block, got a new b/e to get on saturday, i just finished stripping the head, so its ready to be skimmed, then need the block decked, then its the long build up process, i hope it will be back together and running in 3 weeks

 

[JR]

[philmots]

As said, interesting thread mate...

 

[midge]

ok, so the car has been completed for a while now but i havnt had the internet, i also have a distinct lack of pics,

i picked this up from hill power, 69k

how i managed to miss this when picking it up i dunno, but it ment a whole load of messing around

and thats all i have, the engines in and the car runs fine, an excellent feeling when it fired up!
mot on wednsday and hopefully thats it for a year! then ill be selling it
