replied, still looking

anyone?

Looking for a recently rebuilt engine or a low mileage one in great condition with compression results . Wanted asap

ive past this page on , im sure he knows but im jsut trying to help as well.. ive no idea about any of that and in my eyes it seems alot easier to just replace the engine!

he doesn't have one but said he is getting one this weekend to measure. what exactly is it he needs to measure just so I know? Im sure he knows but I kinda need to know everything also..

basically I had bad det which screwed 3 pistons, killed the rings and slightly scored a bore.

so im changing the pistons/rings and I wanted to change the bearings also but its proving to be a right pain in the ass..

hi guys my engine has been stripped by my engine builder but its starting to take a while so im sourcing parts my self.

just now im looking at replacing the conrod bearings etc but he has sent me a photo on 1 conrod but on each side it has two different stamped numbers.

one side has 1, and the other side has 2.. so i dont really know what im to order?

and on top of that im not sure if i am to order main bearings or main shells etc also.

any help?

Thanks for that Shaun I'll look into it then. But why would it have died after the pump bein changed then ?

He just thinks their must have been an issue for it to be across all the cylinders .

My fuel pump was dying for a while and I never knew so I reckon that hasn't helped.

I just don't want it to die again.

Would fitting an afr gauge help ?

ok so recently my engine lost compression in 3 cylinders resulting is this

im told its bad detenation, now i didnt realise i was running pretty leav for months on end due the the fuel pump gradually dying on me and its only when i went to performance hq to get the map checked as it felt flat russ told me it was about 15 afr at 4000rpm so we eventually changed the fuel pump and it ran fantastic for about 200 miles and then i felt as though it was loosing some power (a thread is in the engine bit).

so the engine has been stripped and my engine guy reckons it may be down to the injectors as its only 3 which are really bad and one is fine with just a few score marks on the side.

he also suggested the dastek unit i have could have caused this, but its been on the car for a few years now so not sure..

ive ordered new pistons, rings, shells etc but not sure what to do about the injectors as im only running a hybrid setup at the moment and he said i'll need to get the map altered if i changed to bigger injectors.

whats your thoughts ?

by the way guys i put up a post about this not that long ago, advised it was fine etc etc and now my engine has been stripped as ive lost compression in 3 cylinders.

compresison came back fine when tested before hand etc but it was obviously a problem for mine.

Looking for new standard pistons

piston rings

Steel head gasket

Bearing set

I need standard because my engine will need balanced otherwise

rodger that pal

would the engine need balancing with these rods being fitted if standard pistons are used or what?

Still waiting on the bloody engine comming out, I'm told it's ready to drop tomoz..

the engine is half out now mate. if someone else wants them i guess i wont ask you to wait

Yeh sucks ass !!

Turns out now. 3 cylinders have no compression

Took it to the garage this morning barely running, smoking badly and hardly having any idle now. It's screwed it seemed. Gettings stripped down now to find the fault..

Thanks mate I'll b in touch soon

Can I have first dibs , e car is getting stripped this week for finding wats wrong ..

why are they removed mate?

ive asked the guy thats gonnae work on my car what he thinks. anything wrong with them etc? bolts and everything required included?

are these fitting a standard engine etc? my engine needs a rebuild and thinking about getting these just to be safe..

Swapped the hoses back to how they where and it's now rather Smokey thru the exhaust and revving at 2k rpm after sitting for 3 weeks

Looks like u might have been right after all! Compression test is fine still so I've swapped the hoses back over and cleaned the filter .

i agree.... well i'll swap that pipe back over to the inlet manifold anyway
