cleaned the camshaft carriers today!!! my god they were dirty!
before on the left after on the right...
happy enough with the results
got rid of most of the burnt on oil.
ordered a Head Gasket set today too so that should be in tomorrow, and im ordering the pistons tomorrow so my xmas deadline for the engine built up is looking promising, providing i dont make the mistake of taking the block to some cowboy machineist
had a delivery today...
got exited when i seen the size and shape of the package...
woohoo pistons are here!!!
cant bilieve how lite they are! 83mm diameter should see me up to nearly a 2.1 litre engine
courtesy of TSR perfformance, they specialize in VAG stuff but are a distributor for Wossner pistons, got them for £512 delivered where wossner themselves wanted £560
result
after xmas now the block is off for a rebore and hone, and ill go searching for a decent headgasket and it should be built up by january
whacked them on today.
2 new uniroyal rainsport 2's on the front, part worns on the back on my dinards that came off my scrapper all cleaned up and painted...
better late than never but gonna acompany them with some orange mirror covers and badges
Been playing with di-noc again...
And here's how it looks in place...
Looks much better with less Grey there now I'm sure youl all agree
Gonna do the drivers airbag when I get some more double sided sticky tape then to finish off the interior before fcs I have to dye the spare carpet I have and redo the headlining and parcel shelf. Will also be on some new wheels for fcs hopefully
inished stripping the block today crank looks good no scores or anything so bit of a result! cracked the plastic pump guard in the sump tho
!!! pished off about that!
anyway ill let the pictures do the talking...
sump off...
2 bottom ends off...
4 bottom ends off...
crank out...
pistons out
and the crank...
getting the crank mic'ed tomorrow in work to check it and taking that bloody heavy flywheel off!
engine should be built up next month when i get some cash together
my hands are also ripped to shreds too so im happy...
watch for an update tomorrow, hopeffully im going to get the block up to mine to blast it with a karcher ready to be taken to the machine shop
