Good stuff Porker
Look forward to seeing the results!
Now don't be a GWAR and run it in properly

Long time in the making.... great stuff!!

Hope all goes well Paul.

Glad your happy with it Paul.
Looking forward to seeing what it makes on the rollers.

Thanks all. Me either.

Well done Paul, about bloody time
Forget about mpg figures, the loud pedal gets inherently heavier the more Barbz gets his hands on it

whats the spec Paul ?

Just out of interest I stripped your old engine and the rings all collapsed.
Heavy scoring to all cylinders too.
The rings were stuck solid in 2 of the pistons.

That was the reason for the crankcase compression and the smoking on lift off.


Be pleased to know the crank and shells were fine although number 5 main looks like it has spun or about too.

That's not good.

As for the specs I'll post up when I know for sure what turbo I'm going for.

Good luck with it Paul

Porkcious, sounds like you are going to get a well sorted machine. Barbz is of the opinion that your car will have given up smoking . Spent a day with him recently and got the low-down on your new lump.

Hope it all goes well, and see you soon,

Tim

Lol cheers Tim. Yeah it's cut it's smoking habit just wish I could follow suit.

See you soon mate.

Thanks Ronnie.
