Gambit Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Nice shame about more damage being found but least not stopped the excitement [emoji3]
Tidgy Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 I've kinda given up worrying about the bill hahaha 2
Gambit Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah best way I was the same when mine was in being done.
WideSam Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 "It's only money" is something I've heard myself say a lot recently too Nice to see it coming together!
Tidgy Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 Came across the origional graphs so thought i'd post them up. this was the day i picked it up and it had gone straight up for a check over, then after the syvecs, manifold, decat etc and to compare, was some gain in spool and peak but considerably lower than expected given the mods. and then the dreaded was found 3
Tidgy Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 not as big as expected tbh, but writing was on the wall. shall be interesting to see what it does when its back, run in and mapped up 1
Tidgy Posted September 19, 2015 Author Posted September 19, 2015 Popped up to clinic today top drop the mrs car off and check up on mine and how things are looking for next week. Found a few more bits that were worn out, inlet pipe is fooked so a new perrin one is going on, valve shims and buckets all had to be replaced so now got a set of supertech buckets and shims. But end result is good news, heads are built and attached onto block, final checks on them to make sure all good and then cam covers will go on and rest of the engine can be assembled. nice repainted inlet manifold and then a rats nest of wires to go back on lol Gearbox is done (5th gear syncro was worn) and ready to go back in, cars booked into the main workshop to have the engine and box fitted tuesday, few other bits and bobs before going off for mot and all being well next sat will be the day :D warning, kid at christmas mode on!!!!!!! hahahaha 4
