3 engines later i finally get the cossie running, without dropping a valva or anything but the rad broke which i bought new last time it had an engine (16 miles ago)
this time the new motor has broke the sodding headgasket within 8 miles
if the heads nackered its defanitley for sale this time, sorry but i`ve had enough and i`m well into 5 figures with the car now (without the origional purchase)
i will also be selling my n/a cossie`d mk2 and everything else i have to do with cossies etc.

will be getting a trans-am.

a VERY VERY unhappy Sean

 

oooooh, you got pics anywhere of your mk2

 

sorry to hear that m8

you dont seem to be having much luck dont really know what to say

 

I know the feeling mate

#Just leave it alone for a while and hopfully u will get the bug agian! i do for all min sins! only for something else to go wrong

 

how have you broken the headgasket in 8 miles

gutted for ya mate , saw the post ages ago of all your engine bits and know youve spent some money on her

 

i see the reg in your siggy is 666 sign of the devil u know

 

as said before im sure the reg plays a part in it!

stripped it today:

the KNOB who built the motor cut the washer off a headbolt, used a shyte headgasket and never bothered to replace the pistons after it snapped a belt and wrecked no.4 piston!
head needs skimmed but has already had its last skim.............

so its getting fixed then i`m afraid if this one goes its defanitley defanitley going


no pics of the mk2 yet as it isnt running yet, oh and its a 4door

 

these stories sound familiar ... there are a lot of people wanting to sell it when it goes wrong..
But you need to fix it before you can sell it or you lose to much money..
and when it finally runs again .. you fall in love with the power again .. and wont sell

 

thats what i`m hopeing

i couldnt butcher it together to sell on as im a trader, then again could always sell it priveatley...................? lol

it`ll be back together today, just hope the threads arent stripped on the block thats why some nob cut the washer off one of the head bolts
i`ll let you people know tonight

 

you drawf drama queen sean

 

who built it, name and shame.


get it built by someone who knows what they are doing


you want my shark tooth wheels?????

 

soz to hear mate but get it fixxed like spiky says by a proper company

 

hhhhmmm mk2 aye!

 

pukka company?

what do i do for a living?



got cossie running again today, had head skimmed lightly and pressure tested,
built up, put inlet manifold on, pushed in place and left hand side (loking at inlet side of engine) of inlet manifold SNAPPED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if i EVER meet the prick that owned F366YDC i SWEAR i`ll punch his fukin head in, every bolt that could be stripped/threaded on the engine was so!
rocker cover bolts, 12 out of 20 needed tapped!
the o/s furthest back bolt on the block was stripped! that needed a new sleeve type of heli-coil.
(begins with the letter "T" shit hot they are!!!!!!!)
the head itself, the cam cap studs........... fuckin ALL of the exhaust cam stud threads needed except no.1 cam cap!!!!!

how can MUPPETS like this "build" engines, if i ever, ever meet the cock that built the engine in the car i bought (in good faith of it "just having a rebuild") i SWEAR he will be a few teeth short after the argument has finished

Spiky,
i bought a set of sharktooths for Ł30!!!!!!!! yours not needed now mate. cheers anyway!

went to start the cossie after head skim/pressure test, was running on 3 pots.
found no.3 pot to be down, pulled spark plug out.
was damp. cleaned and re-fitted.
still mis-fired.
removed plug AGAIN and found to be soaked in fresh antifreeze/water.
removed all spark plugs.
cranked engine and no.3 pot was firing water out like a fountain!!!!!

i`m fukin sick.

for sale,
previousley 450+bhp high compression mag featured 2wd cossie, dead engine,(cracked head???)

Its a real shame that sean, a real shame.

Surely a head sourced from someone on here wilol sort it to be sold rather than sell it knackered and lose a lot more??

 

You have had some shat luck with that car mate!
