StarletMad

Dont think hardly anyone get payed for Travel time bud. I used to start work at 7.30am.... Was up and leaving at 5.20am every day Not leaving site until 5pm and then not getting home until 7pm ish Only got payed for my time on site

Good Effort

Cant help but stare at the road... Makes me feel Dizzy!

Soorry bud yeah Variable Valve Timing No Point Grieving just un insure the little beast and save some pennies lol Make it A Special car this time round do it all properly and proffesionally and save myself the hassle time and money in the future! It makes sense. If you look at the cams one of them has a thinner "Sprocket" next to it The Thinner plate should push up against the thicker one and run in sync. Mine Wasnt

Not Alot to say really apart from whoever built it did it with there eyes shut! VVT was NOT set correctly. Theres no reason for piston rings to go unless its been put together poorly I think people forget that when putting Gudgeon pins it its not a case of just pushing these ones in the heat pressed in!! My Mechanic reckons they could have weakened the piston when putting the pins in. Sold to me as only done 4,000 miles Since Rebuild Wiseco Pistons and SCAT Rods etc etc..... Fairplay the Rods are Gleaming and look the real deal but Fuck Me the pistons are Bolloxed lol Pistons appear to be

No not yet buddy going to get the hoist and stand tomorrow... Oh well any excuse to clean everything up and change my clutch and do an oil change

What i found this afternoon Looks Like Piston Number 2 ... Also Piston 4 Has a few dinks in the bottom from what we can see. Going to take the engine out tomorrow evening and take the head off and ivestigate more. Anyone Selling some Forged Pistons LOL??

Ive Run 1 bar since nov mate

I took the grinder to my CT9 Brace and Welded it to my TD04 Kit

When idling exhaust was normal when revved a little abit of white smoke and starts to rattle a little up the top end. *Ive always had a tappety noise from around the Injectors/Inlet Area do you think this could have been a build up to this. i.e valves have gone etc..?

I run a S/S one Gaskets are poo but manifold hasnt cracked ... had mine since November Time.

Nahhh didnt think and now its all in bits

It done what hahahaha ?? I have just fitted a JAM ECU and havnt had the fuelling checked :/

Some of you may know i was driving down the motorway when aload of white smoke started coming out of the exhaust and engine was rattling. Ive taken the rocker cover off and everything looks normal Ive taken the Manifold and Turbo off and no visable oil in exhaust side of turbo Drained Water and no Oil in the Water Drained oil was abit black but thats prob because ive not changed it for a while. The Rattle seemed to come from the Top of The Engine Anyone got any ideas? Also if i need them where the hell can i get piston rings for Wiesco 74.5 pistons? Cheers

Cut the hose between the Turbo and the actuator and put it in the middle... Done

Turbo's been smoking for a while a car sounded like it had noisy "tappets" Shouldve investigated really but didnt to busy wanting it to look good. Now it looks good but dont friggin move ;)

Its like anything though bud when you start changing an OEM System with Tolerences these Tolerences can be broken and Shit like this happens

Going to investigate further tomorrow then if i cant see anything visibly then have it recovered home from work and drop the engine out i guess and see whats what. Or Buy a Forged Engine if all else fails

Same Person that Built Ktl's But not a company from what info i can gather. Well no point grieving on it Cant expect to tune a 1.3 to 240bhp and not expect expensive problems here and there I am pretty gutted though just having it sprayed and it looks the muts nuts in my eyes now And now this :/

Forged Engine Only Done 10,000 if that... Gonna strip it down tonight and inspect Am hoping the turbo seals have gone and its just starvnig the head but guess il find out later ;)

Just for the Record ENGINGE BLEW UP THIS MORNING ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Filled the M20 with Smoke and Knocks like a B!TCH!

is that abit of rubber under that top plate? cheers

Il 2nd This ^^^^ Got a rather annoying squeeky/rubbing noise coming from here i need to know what to change Jono
