Right so i had a good day on Donna yesterday.

Also ended up wrapping a load of stuff and sending it as far as Ireland,Scotland and Cornwall.
Pics.
Engine ready for removal.


Quick pitstop for a man lunch.



and shes out.





In other news i took a load of engine parts to work at the weekend and gave them a clean up to save getting my parts bath dirty spent a good 5 hours cleaning casings etc whilst getting paid to do so.winner!
I will grab some pics tonight.

Also been shopping and have some ARP rod bolts on the way and im currently in talks about some 9:1 pistons as id rather not use a head spacer.
Bought some silver and some black engine enamel too.

Thats it for now.


Oh no it isnt.


I have one of these badboys coming from the USA via a guy coming to Edition show.I can confirm i wont be the only one on this site with one as it seems somebody liked my idea that much he ordered one himself(Not naming any names though eh FuxBizzTurbo.

[LowlifeDubber]

Right well the shell is ready for going on the blue thing ive sold just about EVERYTHING off it too.Made about £500 so its made me £200 plus all the money ive saved with now having a loom,box and ancillaries etc.

The loom is out and labelled and ive been stripping engines left right and centre as well as doing some shopping lists for engine parts etc.
Ive been stripping engine casings etc off and sticking them in the parts bath for a couple of days and then cleaning them up but i havnt taken pics yet.Although my engine paint has arrived now.

Mmmmm wiring.


Oh and these badboys came today.


Also in talks with Highflowheads about knife edging the crank and fitting me some new valve guides in one of the 3 heads i have got.
I will also be gasket matching them myself and then polishing my piston crowns after the weekend shift(or during lol).
Ive been onto most piston suppliers i can find in the uk to find some rings for these 82.5 pistons.Not really very happy about re using them and im having NO luck sourcing them
The search continues though eh.

these 82.5 pistons.Not really very happy about re using them and im having NO luck sourcing them
The search continues though eh.

These standard sizes? Or do i remember it being bored out to 3.0?

get on ebay.de and have a nosey

[LowlifeDubber]

No standard are 81mm dude.These are 1.5mm overbore giving just under 3.0 give or take a nats c0ck.
Ive tried ebay.de.Even tried getting hold of Mahle who make the pistons and still no joy.
If all else fails this weekend i may end up owning some 9:1 low comp pistons but that depends on the current owner lol.

Can you not use something like these or you after specefic items

[LowlifeDubber]

It all goes on the thickness of each individual ring mate and the audi ones are -2mm top -1.5mm middle and -3mm on the oil rings too small

[leigh_harty]

Im following now, glad my engine is standard as buying was easy 

Do you reckon its a manufacture jobbie?

....or custom made but £££ , dont want to use old rings
