ok,


This car has been at mine for 2 weeks now, but not had a chance to even look under the bonnet till Thur's night.


What can i say, the list of issues is a whole page long before i even tested anything.


Stuff like,

The cars a converted xr3i,
N- 2 fuel line from the metering unit has been replace with 'Vac pip',
Metering unit and boost pipes full up wioth oil, due to heavy breathing,
Oil lever twice over the max mark,
Breather half removed to free air, but still connected to the metering unit,
Bare Alternator wiring thats been twisted together for connection,
Low on coolant,
cold start disconnected,
3 Bolts missing out of Ex mani, and alternator,
Rocker cover cap wire'd on with speaker wire, so doesn't come off,
Cam cover just loose, cross over pipe just loose,
Oil dip stick holder loose in block, so pull out when oil level checked,
Bonnet wont even shut,
No air filter,
Alternator belt inside out,
brake fluid filled to the very top,
No lights or indicators work,
Tyres need replacing,
battery ont sitting in battery try or bolted down, as coil mounted in the way (xr3i setup).





Then i pressure checked the boost system, @ 3psi

inlet mani gasket blowing completely freely.
breather pipes pressureising. (serious piston/ring ring issue)
pipe leaking all over the plece, 3 of which were due to j-clips left loose
some Vac pipe has been replaced with Fuel line, and leaking.



Then i started it,

= missing seriously on 2.]
crank case pressure so high, the bottom end most be shagged.



I then took it up the road,

No engine power @ all (cam shagged)
and a electrical fault, which cuts whole electrics/engine in and out when it pleases.
