[Connor]

When i got it i was told it was forged but its hard to beleive with no recipts the only thing that kinda convinces me is this, so if anyone knows any info on this car let me know im deprate to find out.

[zebedee]

Drop the sump and have a look at the rods would be easy to tell then. Dave did used to sell those rockers as a seperate item but there was very few sold and those that were usually went on the full forged engine builds.

[McGlinchey]

looks well.. looked good on the old wheels too

[Connor]

Supose its the only way to find out ?, what am i looking for in particular ?, cheers mate i wasent a fan of the old wheels looks well better in the slips, my last glanza was the exact same white on white with white slips lol.

Bit of an update, lost all compression in engine got about 60psi in all cylinders, took it all to bits to find the head was warped, made a bit of a discovery while i was it and found out that it was actually fully forged to come across shiney wossner pistons

Start of the strip down

Typed this code into google on the top of my piston and came a wossner pistion part number 74.5mm

So later on in the week i got my head back from the machineist's

Bought all the bits i needed to build it back up!!

A wee parcel arived today too, sold my astra vxr recaros and bought some fixed buckets

[akyakapotter]

Forged........ you lucky bastard lol wind up that boost ;)

[Socks]

Always good to find out abotu a cars history! Glad to see its forged! Bigger turbo time
