The machine shop now have all the parts to get cracking be he reckons it'll be the end of next week before I will get it back
I even managed to replace the washers for the banjo bolts to the water pipes of the turbo and did a bit of cleaning and tidying in the engine bay! So not all bad
You working on yours tomorrow I assume if so I'll pop over

Well with any luck the head will be back tomorrow and I'll be straight on the case to have it back together
have also get a set of helper springs for the coilovers as every time the cars jacked up the springs don't reseat themselves!

Well I've got the head back at 9pm last night
So tonight I set about the rebuild
fitted the cams then the inlet and exhaust manifolds
then sat it on the block and it was then a mate spotted that the stud was a little proud(see first pic) went to tighten it back in to the head and it was just spinning
I'm gutted but at least I know know why it failed now and its an easy enough fix as long as I can get hold of a helicoil set tomorrow or see if the machine shop will sort it while i wait

Heads on and running like a dream!!
Ive got to say a huge thanks to my mate Ian for his help tonight and Mark Shead for his help tonight also, as I wasn't sure of the setting up on it and he talked me through the process at 8pm on a Friday that's above and beyond!! It's nice there are still people around like that!!

Nah no fuckinhg about here Glenn!!
Yeah Steve pop I down!!
Well I just had it running and noticed very slight tapping
Started having a poke about and the fucking wanly cam pulley adjuster lock bolts we loosening off wtf!!
So have removed the bolts and applied thread lock and set them back up and all is well just glad it didn't happen while I was kicking its head in
So will be on the look out for set of pegged ones next!
This engine just wants to eat itself

. Its who builds your engine not what pulleys you use. Some of you lads spend a lot of money fixing things before you work that out.

I think I'm still going to change them as it will always be in the back of my mind them coming loose again!
As above mate it's bothering me thinking they could loosen again and see it as peace of mind changing them!
not 1 drip of thread lock anywhere!
But I'm still replacing the cam pulleys!! And trying to get a lockng plate for the tensioner! Not that I'm paranoid or anything!

Well today was the day for a bit more boost!
it was all going so well……Till the turbo decided to call time!
mapping was all done and we were heading back to the workshop when I thought a boost hose had come off (no boost) as it had popped off in the past
then noticed a little waft of smoke from the exhaust pulled over and you could hear the blades catching on the housing
The cars awesome was pulling sooooooo well
Just a shame I need to get a new turbo but thats the chance you take when buying 2nd hand I guess some you win some you loose!

So sorry to hear Matt.
I was the first to be aware talking to Mark on the phone while you were stranded at the roadside.
Get it fixed & get it going again

My old shitty tech tt36 starts making boost at 2300rpm and at full boost by 3200rpm and holds on to 2 bar plus at 7k good strong reliable turbo !!
Julian uses a t66 to make more power than you have done Rod but who says a old name hasnt got new tech !! Pete kershaw is a very clever man

We had 2.1-2.2bar and was pulling very well
Mark was telling me all about the bw and it really does/did sound appealing but I've got to stop somewhere, as always money does play a part in decision making
