Wow thats a big hole lol.

ajamesc

Head looks ok 4 bent valves the piston has touched the head but not bad no damage in the chamber and the valve seats are not marked

well at least the head is fixable,
tbh id be surprised if a rod has caused this, as we all know cossie rods are very strong,
maybe a rod bolt or gudgeon pin let go ??
will you get into the bottom end today?

ajamesc

Un likely the gudgeon pin broke far more likely the rod plus who I use for my engine guessed rod anyway I'll know when it's out in a few weeks I'll not have time next week as I'm on call

Shit the bed Andy, not good mate!

ajamesc

Na I was gutted mate but in a way pulling it apart is half the fun
And at least I get to go through the hole car now there's been bits I've been meaning to do under the bonnet for a while now

Oops found the cause yet? Very rare to see this happen!

ajamesc

I've not taken the block out or apart yet ill do it over the next few weeks I'm in no rush as I knew I'd need a block crank pistons and rods so just wanted to see if the head was ok!
But Ill strip the rest on the off chance the crank is ok lol
It will get fixed so I'm not too fussed as I can build a better engine now mate

wes

Ouch never nice to see this sort of thing, i'd be keeping that block though and getting it nikersil linered (as long as everything is OK in the crank area) as all the bits where it's damage gets removed anyway, looks like you already have 6 long studs fitted so only another 4 to get done and you know the history of the block then, no surprises.

ajamesc

Nope not good lol! I'll take the block to my engine builder and see what he says but to be honest I think it's fucked also he doesn't use nikasil liners he uses ductile iron ones so I'll take that route

ajamesc

Bit of a small step but as I had it to hand I dropped my head off to get that sorted ready to go back on so hopefully all it will need is new seats cut new valve guides and a skim also 4 new valves.

DAN400

iTrader: (3)

ever get the bottom end stripped?

ajamesc

No not yet mate I've not had time I'll do it in January now.
My head is done and I've a new block things will start moving on a few months into next year. Other than silly little bits like move the battery to the boot to make space for my new breather set up and fit a hydrolic clutch set up

ajamesc

Very small up date as ill not really get into it until a few months into next year. But my head is re built and ive a new block. I picked up the block today from the paint strippers so its ready to paint black. ill drop it off at m.a.d in January for long studs liners and oil jets. also painted the rocker cover and fitted a dash 10 fitting for my new breather set up while it was to hand

Cossie Sean

i was going to do orange ones as my "signature" cam cover when i had mine a few years ago,

decided on black with orange raised bit

loving the orange for sure!!

ajamesc

It's red lol may just be the light as it's hard to take pics as the light bounces off it

nice one andy ,coming together well

Rod-Tarry

On average a fulla engine lasts 2 weeks & has 200bhp less than he states so he needs all those parts .

James B

I thought it was orange aswell.

I thought I saw in another thread it was lambo orange? unless someone else said that haha.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

Well recons he has stopped using field bodge it and scarper motorsport and is now using harvey and the engines are lasting

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

As above, second year racing on that engine now and wants an all ally 2.2 next time round

ajamesc

Some one told me your place dose really good exchange big wing sumps?

ajamesc

See this is the thing with day lol he told me and others it was a Joe Stevens engine! He showed me a dyno sheet as well for just over 700bhp but it looked to have no power down low and was running hardly any boost

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

Well from what remember he built one himself and field motorsport mapped it and it blew up then he got blue smoke to do one and that gave up in 20 mins then got field to do another and that shit itself on its first track day then he had jimbo do one and its still sat where it should be and doing well ! But here is the thing all the other engines were 7.2 million bhp and infinity torque but the scs one was 600bhp lol and thats the one that still works

Rod-Tarry

Hes a lad if you believe nothing he tells you thats still lies .

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

Rod you know and I know this He is a fuckin nightmare

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

Jay is correct all the engine previous have let go in no time. We done a 650bhp 2.0l (restricted by the tibuc bodies..) and it is in its second year now with no issues and flying

Hi pal, unfortunately I can't trade on this forum due to membership level. Particularly when jay is watching

Brendan

iTrader: (1)

out of interest was there any damage to the cam or ancillaries when this happened?

ajamesc

Cams show no signs of damage but it did bend 4 valves turbo looks fine it had oil pressure when it stopped. I've not stripped the block yet and it's still in the car as work has given me no time. Early January I'll pull it out take it too work and strip it

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

You have been around cossies ect for how many years and you have never heard of blue smoke

JamesH

iTrader: (21)

How much does a normal cossie engine rebuild cost.
