You can pick engines up for £300 - £500 BUT then it needs fitting etc.

I’m in two minds at the moment.

LS swap?

 

[leeds_182]

LS swap?

I’m all for blowing money but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere.

 

[bashracing]

Cummins 6BT swap

Craig must have some spare time.

Jim is this the first one you’ve had that’s s**t itself?

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, they’ve all been pretty reliable to be be fair.

This was the fastest one though - I’m guessing that could also be a reason it shat itself!

Are these a tappet over bucket or is that's what's left of the bucket? 😂

 

[bashracing]

Are you over revving it jim?

If so close up the clearances to 0.25mm with thicker shims,

or just tack weld them to the bucket if you want to go full pikey.

I was brapping off the limiter shortly before this happened.

 

[bashracing]

self inflicted,

Standard they are 0.40mm clearance, take them down to 0.25mm if you're ASBO'ing

I prefer the term ‘spirited’ rather than ASBO.

Shim over. I thought it was the bucket at first when he sent it 😅

Least it ain't terminal. I thought it was some mega rod knock when you sent that breakdown video.

At least its not broken😂

Slap it back in and set the valves again, should be rate Jim😂 @bashracing if you want mega pikey he could use mastic, JB weld or loctite to stick the tappets and buckets together😂😂

 

[leeds_182]

Council.

 

[leeds_182]

Looks like the volvo ‘bent a valve’ so will be a head off job.

I’m trying to punt it for £1250 as is but it’s proving a challenge!

 

[leeds_182]

So, after getting the odd £500 offer I’ve decided to try and fix the car. I’ve ordered a head off eBay and will then be getting it skimmed and all that shizzle and hopefully get the thing back on the road in the next couple of months.

I think you did what I usually do

1. Car breaks
2. Fix/break car and get fucked off with it
3. Think about selling/list it for sale
4. Have something to eat, maybe a de-frustration w**k and a chill out
5. Realise its a decent car and you should just throw money at it
6. Repeat steps 1-5 as many times as you like

Exactly right!

Some oily scrap arrived this morning.

 

[bashracing]

Someone giving you a hand with that ?

Deposit taken.

The dream is over.

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, were shocked you're selling this🤯😂😂

Shocked in the fact you didn't sell it sooner😂

Ive found it’s harder to sell a car when it’s broken!

 

[Krarl]

Who'd have thunked it🤔😂

 

[leeds_182]

Goodbye.

Seeya mate, see you again in 6 months when you buy it back 👋

He did tell me he’d keep me informed on how the repairs went.

 

[_Tom]

You didn’t keep the plate?!

 

[leeds_182]

You didn’t keep the plate?!

No, he gave me £400 for it. If I could’ve put it on the 740 I’d of kept it but I couldn’t.
