how many box loads do you want?? all have suffered ringland failure, so rods are in good nick

the joy of living down south. got nothing up here, not close by or mobile. have 1 machine shop and 1 reconditioner/small machine shop. the machine shop needs the head on the bench, and the other place would do it in the car, but cant get the car to the shop as my landy is now off the road, and the golf wont pull the transporter.

only people close by will need the head on there bench. so that means it will be off for weeks (there not the quickest)

does anyone know the thread size and pitch for these bolts? see if i can order some

il see what i can come up with. will have to got to the engineering shop for a helicoil. think il just go for the mask it to death and be very careful. it does sound extreme, but its half stripped anyway, so wouldnt be a biggy to whip it off.

i did.....not now, lol.

thats the bit that conserns me. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkk..... really cant be arsed taking it off, but looks like i am gonna have to. think its gonna be sold soon, getting fed up of always fixing it. had it about 4 years and its spent 3/4 of that time blown up or broke.....

can this be done without taking the head off, really cant be arsed taking the head off it and stripping just to sort this fuckup i have done

fucking raging... just refitting cams and stripped a thread on a cam cap.... can these be heli-coiled or am i gonna have to swap the head for another 1?

its an easy mistake for someone that hasnt taken notice when they removed. make sure you but the service bolt in when removing cams. or it will rattle when running

have you got your cams timed up correctly?? 1 dot to 2 dots??

shauns got a nice engine for ya

whats your current setup? and whats your budget?? its not a cheap upgrade going from 200bhp. for a start you are gonna have to find or build a forged bottom end. there is a few on for sale at the moment. so theres 1600-2 grand gone already, but now you have a bottom end ready to take whatever you throw at it. turbo setup depends on your manifold you get, theres a nice wepr 1 forsale on tgtt for £250 sheets, so that will take any turbo using scooby 3 bolt flange. you will be needing bigger injectors, brake upgrades, suspension upgrades, some form of engine management, fpr, bigger flowing fuel p

hope you have very deep pockets!! haha. i think you should be looking into a car that can properly handle this power, unless this is just for quarter mile only.

great seller, have had many things from him and probably much more, lol

i think we need something to help new comers to the forums. Things that the more experianced startelteers and guru's could help with and also hints, tips and advice on how and not to go about tuning there cars. ok everybody has there own way of doing things and that alot of things cant be done due to money issues. but if we had summit thats pinned about the do's and donts with standard engines, and common failures and causes of these and how to prevent this happening. just an idea... i have seen something along the lines of what way to go about mods (handling, brakes, engine u

exactly what this man says ^^

if its spun, then its got to of done damage, also depends on how much running it got after the problem started. at most the engine needs removing, turn it upside down, whip sump and crank out, get a fresh crank with correctly sized shells (not my way of doing it) or a .25 undersize regrind with new shells of your choice and build it back up with A ****NEW**** OIL PUMP!!!!! This will get you going again until the pistons fail.....

i have pm'd you. 4efe crank is good to use. many have been used in turbo applications. just do it right now or you will basically be putting your money on the fire but not getting any heat from it.

look like scat. and the notches are there for the rods to clear the block as ther are alot fatter

i have a couple good blocks and cranks, or a complete (was running when removed, with now head removed) 4efe pm me if your keen. and i am local to you

i paid around £200 mark for both mine, but that was with head and sump on both

just bought some more stuff from Shaun, good on his prices and things are always in good condition. Trusted seller

this going in a glanza? drop a 4efe in it with a 1.9mm gasket, thats what i did, but the shells that someone had put in wernt sized correctly, still go me home tho without chucking the rod, lol. went well aswell on td04 at 0.8 ;)

oh, i know the 1, not seen it up close, but seen it in passing. hes mates with callums lot.
