Piggysniffer Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 Have got a killer b oil pickup ordered, there is a company called funky power uk selling them on eBay, I emailed killer b Motorsport USA to ask if the funky power were genuine, they said they didn't have dealings with funky power so couldn't guarantee that they were, but killer b gave me a link to their French based supplier, so have one on order from them 👍
Scooby1972 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Nice work so far keep up the good work😁as you no no pain no gain 😥😥

Piggysniffer Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 Pick up arrived today, so that can go on with sump, then can get on with heads and porting headers, and get them fitted 2
aucky Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Welcome to hall fame mate.got to make it good now [emoji6] Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Piggysniffer Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Looks like headgasket has failed/is failing on my scoob, gonna try and nurse it along with kseal etc as not really at a point to get this done but if it goes good style then this may have to be brought forward (credit card taking a few broadsides) (accompanied by some very sideways looks from the wife)
savage bulldogs Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Sorry to hear the original lump is spitting it's dummy out , what have you got left to get for the new lump ?
Sandals Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Wow... you really have had no luck with your current engine! Very fortunate you bought the new lump :D

Expand Oil pump, cambelt kit, clutch, turbo, uppipe, flywheel (probs use one from my engine and get it skimmed, I think that's mostly it, gotta lap valves, fit new stem seals maybe get heads refaced/skimmed and get head stud holes drilled out to 14.2mm, I'm sure there's more tho lol oh, gonna do tumble valve delete too will order oil pump this week, was told to fit rcm 11mm by builder, so that what it'll have gotta find out about cambelt as want to be up near 380-400bhp and have read that probs need uprated belt ?
Piggysniffer Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Oh, and I need two new ceramic ? Cambelt pulleys as I broke both getting them off, whoever had fitted the retaining bolts had used locktite on all 4 pulley bolts, I had to weld 19mm nuts to the Allen bolts as they would not come undone with an Allen set and beaker bar, just destroyed the bolt head, not a lot of fun that day lol
savage bulldogs Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Someone like matty b @ mbdevelopments or Scott at pole position might have the cam pulleys in stock . I don't know if there's a particular limit to get a uprated belt but I went for the gates kevlar belt (half the price of the cossie one ) with New idler's and tensioner .

Seen some go at around 50k... some don't go at all... just your luck it seems
savage bulldogs Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Dunno anything thing about the compatibility or the seller but I spotted these Any good ?

Expand Cheers mate, I got those ones, it's the exhaust ones I need, the ones without the avcs, I think I'm gonna take them off my engine when I pull it
