Well after owning the car for nearly 2 yrs and constant abuse the small ends started to get alittle noisy which was diagnosed when i took it to have the Greys fitted and a custom chip at NMS in Coventry.When i took the sump off i found that the oil pick up pipe was blocked with silicone from the hoses i'd use on the breather system(mainly the oil return from the oil seperator) so don't use silicone hoses on breather pipes cause the oil eats away at it

Anyways into the garage it goes and out comes the engine

This is what it looked like........



started taking it out and put the bits in seperate box's so i new what went where




I borrowed a crane from my mate which made life alot easyer,my son loved taking it out and thought it was amazing....lol





Here are some pics off the pistons and head,as you can see by the colouring on the valves it was running pretty good fuelling wise ;D The block is abit worn and will need a rebore with new pistons at 0.5 oversize ;D







I have sent the block and head to be rebuilt at an engineering place in Lincoln,the lad who is doing it is called Mike Barret and is very good with cossy's.I'm also adding some new bits to the engine and will put some pics up when i take some photos ;D
