unclean 10 Posted October 6, 2015 I was cleaning up the block the other day and I found some pitting on the head mounting face, which bummed me out. It looks like decking the block may be the only way to resolve that. I've chatted with the local engine specialists and they say it can't really be done without pulling the internals, yay. Obviously this means it's sensible to refresh those parts whilst they're out, too. So, in the interest of actually driving the damn thing before the decade is out, I, erm, splurged on a new-old engine to bung straight in. This gives me a chance to go a bit more in depth with the engine rebuild and I should have probably just done this from the start. Ho hum. I also thought it was prudent to get another gearbox as mine graunches going into second. I'm also nabbing a new loom, coilpack and ECU to go with the new motor to get rid of my distributer. Looking forward to a trip up to Derby to collect the whole lot on Saturday morning! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
