Piggysniffer Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share 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 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggysniffer Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggysniffer Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted January 19, 2017 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
