The engine parts have finally arrived back from the machine shop!- Engine part porn inside this post!
After shite service from a local machine shop, they have finally delivered the goods and appart from there crap customer service, there work is as always TOP!
Work I had done:-
Pistons weight matched
Rods end to end balcenced and weight matched
Flywheel skimed
Block Faced
Block Bored
Block Honed
Crank chain gear and cambelt gear keys
Full rotating assembley balanced.
First job was to repaint the sad looking block to smarten it up a bit
Then I had to measure all the ring gaps to make sure they're all correct for aplication.
Once I was satified with the ring gaps, the rings could go on the pistons, and the pistons onto the rods.
Next it was time to full clean the pistons and rods after putting them together and totally cover them in oil before putting them into the block.
Next is a big order from renault, Bearings, Gaskets, Seals to finnish off the bottom end. Then I can start work on the head
