Okey dokey peeps. Its another update time
Now that the car is fully stripped and ready for the bodyshop i turned my attention to the engine.
Everything is laid out the way it came out
Check out the water jackets. No wonder my water looked like shite
My plans for the engine are
Block:
Vapour blasted to get minty mint then painted. Not sure of colour yet. Any ideas????
New Core Plugs and oil gallery plugs
Bores honed and will be housing Mahle pistons and new rings. Still undecided whether to bore it out to 1.9
Lightened and balanced crank and flywheel. Journels are perfect condition so will just require new shells and new main bearing bolts. Con Rods will also be checked.
New oil and water pump and new sump and also every gasket renewed.
Head
The head will be cleaned thoroughly and decoked
Gas flowed, new valves, fast road cam, new followers, stem seals etc
Work on the block and head will be done by

Anyway there is not much more preparation i can do now so hopefully the next pics will be of it in the spray booth
