This is my first build so very scray, my mate kev is helping with the build and i am working very closly with East of Scotland enginering.

The key to a good build is to get every thing as clean as possible

 

[MAXIBOY]

have you cleaned all the oil galleries and core plugs out

 

[Adams_16v]

good luck with it pal. Dont think id dare tackle a rebuild myself lol!

lol @ doing it in the kitchen

 

[Ali]

LOL, nice work dave.

 

[muz]

I rebuilt a couple of CVH engines.

Its not that daunting once you start so long as you follow the manual and follow a few certain rules.

wouldn't touch a modern engine with all that VVT and CVT stuff though

 

[Djw Dave]

Every part of the engine has been in a chemical bath at ES Engineering

 

[Djw Dave]

I thought the same way but my mate kev has helped alot, he has endured alot of questions over the build, but it gives you a better sense of how things work.

At the end of the day you can put your hand up and say i built that! Whitch is always cool
