Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 This is the engine my car was built with it has only done about 18000 miles from new!! its had a bit of a rough life tho! It was also my first attempt at turboing the 4EFE as you can see its suffered a bit in the UK weather lol. Quote
shorty Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 With enough time and cleaning plus replacing fooked parts yea it will run. Is worth it is the other question though. Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 LOL this have been out side for around 8-9 years with nothing covering it up! Quote
akyakapotter Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Scrap it mate if it's been left for that long in the elements it's bound to be seized up mate Quote
MARC MOSS Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Has it got a starter motor? Stick a battery on it and see If it turns over lol Quote
Jhandy Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 your better off taking the spark plugs out and puting some oil in the bores leave it a day, then see if it will turn over by hand, but the turbo will need to be replaced etc Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 I am glad some sore the funny side lol it's just going to stay were it is maybe for another 10 years lol and then try it! I have more engines than I can cope with now with out trying to save this one lol Quote
Flaminsam Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 It will run again. Just rebuild it with forged bits. Get the block cadnium plated and replace parts like the cambelt etc. If you want rid let me know. Quote
