or has it just had a massive oil leak?
-
whatever condition it is in you should be stripping it. then you will soon see
-
well, i won't be stripping the crank and all that out - too much hassle
-
well, if you aint prepared to check declare it as f**ked
-
Does it still turn over.
-
Cant tell from pics like that and if the damage is internal how would we know!
-
I'm guessing that a conrod has not let go in spectacular fashion as there's no unplanned holes in the block. Other than that I have no fcuking idea... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If you ain't bothered to strip it for the benefit of yourself then you should not bother posting on the forum as we can't read into the condition of the block if it's still in one piece!
-
u cant tell much from ur pics, has it stopped working? history? basically as above u need to take the head off or get a specialist to look at it if you cant yourself. what are ur plans for it?
-
more to the point WHY ? :rolleyes:

Bloody hell lads, its only a question! :shocked:

Actually not going to bother with it anymore mate. I have a mk1 which I put a 2.0 16v but its now gone kaput so was just looking for a replacement engine really. I don't have massive knowledge of engines (altho I screwed the last one together) and after this one has gone im just trying to be careful and thought id see if you lot could help me a little - Sorry if it was a little ambiguous lads. :embarassed:
Anyways I never bought it and managed to bad myself another 9a as a replacement - happy days :smiley:
-
brilliant; is this block that i cant be arsed to check myself but can be arsed to load to a website and a couple of days later declaired as f**ked myself gonna be ok?
-
Calm down dear, it's just a car forum not the end of the world as we know it.
Get down from your high horse fella- there's just no need for it. I apologised in my last post, what more do you want?

blocks servicable, no big holes in it are there

danny p was the only sensible person to say something with out the swearing. :laugh: id say its f**ked, clean it up and you will know for sure :tongue:

chill winston
how are going to know without taking the pan off and at least checking the mains bearings as well as the rods, pulling the crank and rods out isn't exactly a time consuming or difficult task
if you want a long lasting replacement pull it all apart, check the crank, freshen the bores, new rings, new bearings and new stem seals
on the outside it *looks* like its just had the usual leaky rocker cover gasket but you can't know, surely teh effort of stripping and checking is worth it, better than installing it blind and finding out its rogered cos I'm pretty sure thats more effort
