Thought i'd post this in the general discussion cause not everyone looks in the rebuild section

Well another day spent on the rebuilding of my engine and there has been great progress Spent a bit of time painting some bits and bobs and cleaning certain things heres the results.......

First on was the exhaust manifold with new studs




Then the inlet





sender for oil temp gauge....




Then on went the oil cooler pipe work, filter and dizzy cap and leads





Then finally the turbo and damper










Get some more bits in the week and an engine hoist to refit it and get it up and running

where abouts are MBE in lincoln and what do they specialise in? never heard of them before!

 

There on the same block as Paul Goy Racing on the Allenby Industrial estate off monks road. The chap who runs it is Mike Barrett and does alot of engines for rally cars so knows his stuff He doesn't have a dyno but uses paul goy's RR for testing bits and bobs and has a motec set up for testing when going down the road.He has all the engineering machines in house so he just gets on with it

 

cheers keith, so that Ł2800 includes all the parts and fitting labour youve listed?

what pistons did you use? mahle?
