I thought you said the stuff in the exhaust housing was simply white carbon???? ... would make sense...
How deep are the scores, will they simply not hone out? IMO I wouldnt use a new block, dont see the point, even if they are scored beyond a hone, could just bore out slightly, unless of course you were just going to fit a complete Second hand B/E to save buying new pistons?? prob makes sense Either way dont scrap the block or crank... in fact if benn has a complete engine why not just fit that?
Sorry to see that Paul
Well its just my luck really lol, nothing minor ever goes wrong - its always foooking HUGE pmsl
As for the boost i was running, it was about 0.3 bar when the car was running
No over boosting problems there then
I'm not 100% sure what that powder was coming outta the turbo, was defo a grey/white colour.
The scores in 1, 2, 3 are deep enough to feel with ya finger nail and some you can feel with you finger tip, No 4 theres are very light scratch marks, not as heavy as 1, 2, & 3 tho.
I wont be scrapping the block as it has all the bits on it i need to go cossie management if i do in the future......
Short term and cost wise i'll be sourcing a cheap runner of a bottom end. I'm hoping the one Benn has is a good'un..... Will find out on Saturday.
I couldn't possible run Benn's engine without all my
BLACK powder coated parts now, could i..........
