not touched the actuall car, but been buying the bits needed to get the engine running

brand new t34.63, as shown in pics., well in the bag next to rocker cover.

new baffled sump ordered, along with cometic head gasket
new cometic rocker cover in the pack in pics.

but tonight paul (3dr-rally-slag) and I have mainly been painting and cleaning parts of engine ready for rebuild

here are few pics
















here are the gaskets and seals all ordered from woodford






here are some of my spares



some marks left by some valves

 

u cud have masked the dipstick tube

 

coming on well

 

it's matt black now

 

It's all matt fookin black

 

Lazy coont
Why did you not remove the breather tank it only pulls out

 

fuk me y havent u striped the engine down
look at those bores mate
build it right from the start while its in bits
or u will regret it

 

looks liek your having fun spike

 

Oh look you can see the plug for your breather that you said definately
was'nt there the other day

 

Fancy going all bufty on the engine block

And pmsl at all the diff oil on the garage floor - thats gonna be nice to clear up

Looking good mate

 

 

Good Lad Spiky you're a brave man lol

 

i know i swear will all the crap that was there, it looked just as if it was a bolt holding the knock sensor wire, but once i scrubbed it, i could see the bolt





steveC, he made the mess i think

 

nice bbq!

 

im with brom on that one

 

Yes!! Rebuild!!!! Nicely polished bores.....should smoke quite well with lots of air blowing past the rings!

 

spiky please dont tell me that engine is that oil drinking engine you had in your saph?

 

and if you're not using new pistons, i would at least round off the contact areas to eliminate any sharp edges that can get hot and promote detonation.

 

i swapped my 205 engine for this one.

i not rebuilding as, i cant really afford it.

i'm use these pullies as this is the setup i have and i not eh other type, surely it has no benefit ????

 

the sharp edges will be removed

 

big valve contact dents in the pistons?

 

At least pop the pistons out, hone the bore and re ring it then at least it has a fighting chance....

 

if i was made of money then maybe i'd do "proper" job,

but it will be going back in as is,

if it dont work, i'm sure every will love the "told you so".

 

I was just thinking about a cheap fix while it was apart....

 

what would the cost in that be???

surely i'd need new bearings/crank ground/ and so on??? where do you stop???

hence me not touching it

 

You don't have to take the crank out...if you are going that far then you are moving towards a full build....if you was doing it all 100% properly then the crank would want checking for ovality etc....

I was just suggesting a way to prolong the life of the engine for a little while.

Nice job Spiky you should have just de greased the block and then painted with Hammeright smooth ( thats what iam doing with mine ) drys smooth and nice and shiny and is also heat proof to over a 1000 c

Dave

PS do as Daz says

 

thats basically what i have done

 

nice one spiky

 

spiky mate that was not a dig it was just a bit of advice thats all

 

spiky give me one of them gearboxes

 

i know dude

just not got the funds to do proper job as i'd like at the moment, and would rather it running, if it fails once finished, well then i'll need to rethink


no

 

What ya talking about thats a gas powered focus krypton tuner/rolling road/sooper chipper, not a BBQ, worth at least 300bhp on the end product that!!!

Go spike, we will duel again at Donington next year i take it!

Should have my project on the road by then!!!

(it's certainly not what you think!)

 

Isn't Hammerite smooth the biz!Much better IMO than VHT paint.

 

did we duel this year????

i never got over taken,

did i pas you????

 

LMAO

Think we must have been half a lap apart throughout!!

Too many "intermediate" rolling road blocks!!!

My secret weapon is the bloke that had the camera!!

Crashed his bike the other day and is now gone cossie crazy!!!

Bike out three door in!

Hope you are on all fours by then and fook the i told you so's, at least you're trying!!

Big up to ya!!!

 

cheers dude, paint some more bits tonight, along with putting all parts back on the block

 

Fook moi that was me hundredth post already!!

 

Looking good mate!!!

Though u couldhave masked it of a bit better

 

here spiky make your block look like that!
