just a rebuild with a few lightened and balanced parts, if anything i am gonna get a bit more compression, i am not going to go forced induction as i have spent ages doing the carbs and hiding the loom so i can have the minimal engine look. power was not at the top of my list. just want a healthy lump.
-
thats right i have done and have so much planned so why cut the courners here, knowing my luck it would have smoked like a train if i did not rebuild it, taking the shine off the finished car.

hi all pulled the 2.0ltr completly apart today, pistons and crank out ready for a full rebuild and awaiting the delivery of my stage 2 gas flowed head. will get some more pics up soon. dunno how mad to go with the crank knife edge balanced i dunno lets wait and see. oh and need to find a nice engineering firm to make some of my pulleys in aluminium as well. the list is meant to get shorter as time goes by, mine just gets longer.
-
thanks, no luckly they took care in masking it all up. did they cause much damage with the windows open??

got the car back from the body shop with the engine bay done. it is not smoothed just tidyed up a bit with the scuttle tray removed, battery tray, washer bottle and header tank brackets removed, as well as all the little threaded bits where the loom ties to. also there is a pic of my lightened flywheel (thanks phatvr6) which came with a helix clutch and my magnex system.
-
cheers. it is back at the same bodyshop. should have it back on saturday so will get some finished pics up. got my magnex system through and just waiting on the arrival of a black carpet.
