kbond Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 Ah right I'm I right in thinking yours is only a sprint car though? Wiesco pistons, scat rods, acl bearings, balanced bottom end, standard rebuilt headCame out of this gt Quote
Ep82gi Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 That's Barry's old car built originally with 1.6mm head gasket pal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
kbond Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 I do know its had a head refresh since it was built originally but not sure if they put another 1.6mm gasket in?I'm not running a massive turbo and big boost so warrant lowering the compression that much Quote

Wiesco pistons, scat rods, acl bearings, balanced bottom end, standard rebuilt headCame out of this gtYeah I do use it competitively yes, but have logged temps on longer trackday events etc without issues (so long as the coolant is well cooled)Do you not have any idea on the pistons then? Wonder was there a build thread by the original owner somewhere?Phil Quote
kbond Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 That's is all I know unfortunately maybe other people on the forum know more about the car? Quote
Phil Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 That's is all I know unfortunately maybe other people on the forum know more about the car? get a specific thread up, be good to try and track that down. you could fire a bore scope down and have a look at the piston tops. not full proof but wisecos are usually pretty standard.

kbond Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Yeah I will I've messaged the chap I got it offWill see if I can get hold of a bore scope if not will just take the head off and have a lookI think yothe engine was built by tmd originally but not sure??? Quote
Ep82gi Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 From what I remember buddy it's a old TMD engine from way back when and was build with scat rads and wisco pistons if that helps at all I also know that Barry was a frequent visitor down a Fen sport so I'd fire a call over to them because they may of had it open and had a play around with it. Hope that helps Liam Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
