my frend has told me that you can tell if you have got a turbo box bye taking the drive shafts out off the box if you can see straight through its got a slipper in it...... how true is this???

 

Very! hehe hows it goin shag, Got that engine in yet??

 

This is what it should look like

 

thats sound thn i aint gona use that box of clarks thn man,its in the shed in bits now head gasket had gone so i took the head off with intension of just doing the gasket.but the valves was propa coverd in sum hard shit so we av striped the head and cleand it all up just cleanin the valves up now,clarks coming round in the week cuz iv bost 1 ov the head bolts off int the block,but over thn that its all safe should be in the festa in no tym

 

Is the bottom end sound? Bores, Bearings etc....??

 

ye man looks it.iv ad the sump off and it all turns over sound and there wor no bits ov shit in the bottom ov the sump im gona rebuild it anyway i fink,just to be on the safe side

 

I would to be honest, least you know is gonna be reliable if you do.
You having any work done to the head before you put it back on or are you leaving it standard?

 

gona leave it standaerd i fink duno yet tho man,wat do u finks best

 

have you thought about having a go at a bit of proting yourself? Im in the same boat as you, my head is stripped waiting to get cleaned at the headshop, but my dremel is calling out at me.lol Im too scared though in case i feck summit up

 

Well if you wanted to go big power further down the line then it would be advisable to do it (as the head is off) but it aint cheap

 

Its quite a time consuming job that takes a lot of skill,it takes me a bout 3 or so days to get one right, even moreso if the manifold require matching but you cant just attack it and hope for the best! It is satisfying though once its done and that graph shows you all your hard work was worth it!
