Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 22, 2012 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted May 22, 2012 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

MARC MOSS Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Has it got a starter motor? Stick a battery on it and see If it turns over lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jhandy Posted May 22, 2012 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Flaminsam Posted May 22, 2012 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
