Ooooops BSW shonky workmanship strikes again.....
Puttin a few more miles on it this mornin, runnin ok then heard a rattle then before I even get chance to pull over I hear a clunk and the car dies.
Get out and pick up a sheared bolt and a tensioner.
open the bonnet and its one of the middle tensioners where the bolts sheared completely off and the cambelt now nice and loose! How many valves do ya recon I've done!?
Me-thinks this cars days are numbered.
Its fookin laughable really the shit I have with this heap!
Nearly got a whole half hours use out of this time.

If only I knew where the c.unt is.
Gotta decide if I can be arsed to carry on with it, your right Rudey/Daz I've no confidende in it at all, constantly listening for noises etc... The enjoyment went a long time ago.
I parted with a lot of wedge for the work/bodges done by Mark and its hard to justify blowin anymore when I know theres gonna be more probs to come. I asked for everythin to be uprated replaced etc....
One option is to just get a standard 2.0l from a scrappy and lob that in, at least I'll be able to drive it for a bit then.
Jock, too many other things have gone wrong with everything he's done. I'll blame the twat for everything that happens and only wish I could loose him the ammount I've been robbed of. I wanna take the pricks head off.
Have a read of this other thread if you can be arsed, might explain a bit more.

after holeing 4 1600 engines i didnt know the history of as most were seconds i decided the only way id have peice bootin the mota would be to buy a 0 miler you and your tuner know its history from day 1 as nobody else has touched it that way if thier is any probs its down to tuner builder i bit the bullet and slapped a brand new bottom end from a reputable company on the plastic 2700 
shat me pants but best thing i did in the long run my bottom end is actually forsale in parts section @ 750 notes bargain i know you did all this with selecting mark as your tuner but its just gonna have to go down as experience and lesson lernt never nice to be stung leaves a nasty taste dont let it kill that picture in your head of your finished project you owe it to yourself to see it thru even if it means locking it away till funds allow thats what ive done with my new 1 its had half a tank of fuel since december cheap to run

I do not know of any history you might have with mark either and do not know him,

Bit drunk at the mo but I recon the engine is gonna find a new home in our track FRST after someone in the know has had a look, then the cab can have a normilish engine in it!
Fester should be pretty lively!!
