Fair Play to Steve (Bungle)Scotty..lol..(few pics added)
Yo Peeps
Fair Play to Steve letting me take my engine out at his place...
i have it out and striped down ready for rebore ...i have checked the crank which seems to be mint still but one of the main shells was copper this was on gernal no 2
I'm so lucky really and i'm am very glad that the car stated to missfire that time at Castle Comb because i know now the engine was about to explode or knock ....
I am taking the gearbox out and putting in a another recondtioned box which is being done by Tal/Dome at the min , i will be taking out the diff and having that checked over so basically all my running gear will be mint again which should last a full season hopefully with a bit of luck.
My engine wil be the same spec as before
The turbo/crank/rods/block/cams are pukka still flywheel will need a skim
so i'm pretty happy with that over all
Cheers Steve for that mate

Just been to collect mine from Scottys. Once again he has sorted me out
Fixed the wheel bearing and Simon did a few other jobs for me so I could get the car home. She is FLYING Huge thanks to Bungle, Simon and 4x4 Pete who helped recover the car 2 weeks ago from Bedford
