Idrees Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Cheers guys. Some more progress..Block ready for the head.Hours of cleaning went in to the head too, quick pic showing the valves. They had layers of carbon on them before.ARP head bolts greased up..Head fitted to the block with the ZEP headgasket.Next is the timing and get some more parts on such as alternator and cambelt covers, then fit the engine in the car. I'm also waiting on some bits and pieces to be powder coated so that may hold me up til next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 A bit of bad news, I snapped an ARP head bolt when torquing it up. Weird I know. I thought I may have over torqued it or done it in the wrong sequence, but I checked the settings more than once before and after breaking it! I'll get some more on order soon.Also got myself some Powerflex engine mount bushes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 this will be interesting to see how people react about the arp bolts because there was a thing about how bad they where lolcars coming along slowly mate, may need a bit of advice in the next couple of days when my engine fnially gets heresee you sunday mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Cheers guys. I can't do much work on the car because I need more space! So I am non-stop looking for a unit/workshop that I can rent out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GAZ@A&G_TUNING Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 must of done the same thing as us and not fiited the headbolts right's, because of course thats the only way that you can snapped a bolt, and nothing to do with them being made from a french stick!!!!!!1 loving this thread tho, this is what ya call a project, building, painting, fitting keep it up dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
