bought myself a 200 block. really should have checked the bore before i handed over the cash, the guy told me it was standard bore and i believed him.... only for it to turn out its 0.5 overbore and 7 thou too big for that so i guess im gonna have to go .75!! that was an expensive mistake.... especially as i bought it withought main caps.
anyway heres what it was like when i picked it up
![](http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc469/SaphCos4x4_Dan/IMG_1394_zps317c4a99.jpg)
i started to clean up the main bearing faces

![](http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc469/SaphCos4x4_Dan/IMG_1398_zps6d1a8c20.jpg)
heres the bore before i touched it
![](http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc469/SaphCos4x4_Dan/IMG_1405_zpsc7a8dcf8.jpg)
and after i gave them a little rub... i thought these were the original cross hatches when i bought it

Yeah I managed to pick the comps up off eBay, they were badly listed and I stole them for less than £500! Bargain of the fucking century
What's the lag like with that turbo dingle? I've got the T66 with .82 housing... It's only single scroll though :-( bought it of a lad off here actually, and it's been recently rebuilt by cr
Cheers Matt
