ok it made me sick to find out that after a massive rebuild the guy who sold me the crank had given me the wrong bearings so it sounded like a can of marbles its taken me fookin ages to re strip every thing down to replace the crank with a forged one and new race bearings and this time ive plastigauged all bearings for tolerances all came out spot on, i even had to get another head gasket even tho the other one had only been on the car for 15 mins running time
anyway just to make sure ive put a 1.5mm multilayer head gasket on looks fookin good





should be running on friday as im at work till then

is that just a camera flash reflection or are the bores very scored ?

no i think thats just the camera flash. bores look fine to me.

i agree they look a bit shiny and worn, how many miles has the block done

looks like some serious scoring and glazing to me at least a rehone and rings ?
