J25GTi Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Hey guys,Been looking for one for weeks now, ive tried ebay there is one really ropey looking dog on there, and NOTHING on any of the forums? its insane.Basically i have a 5e block that has been scored when it was machined last. Now I only want to run 74mm pistons from a cost point of view, now my 5e block would be ideal for someone running 74.5 or 75mm pistons, would anyone be interested in a swap for a non-bored 5e and get mine bored out instead?Really starting to run out of patience now!Eurrrgghhh! Quote
morgey Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 i might know of a complete 5e with box etc out of a sera for about £300ish if you are interested i can try chase the said person up? Quote
J25GTi Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Ideally mate i want just the block, all my crank etc has been freshly reground etc! Quote
morgey Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 ok mate no worries, thought id give you a heads up if you were getting desparate or whatever ;) Quote
J25GTi Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Definitely am desperate, but funds are my limiting factor having spent out on one 5e block already! Quote
morgey Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 ahh shit dude well hope someone else can help you out soon then! Quote
glanzagee Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Don't think I'd be doing any swap due to I have one and this Is spare Also will be in London end of the month possible with 7 5e engines would be pick up or cost per mile meet half way in Eco car Quote
J25GTi Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Glanza gee, do you have pics of all the bores? Ive been robbed on 2 engines now "built by professionals" that have been ruined after 25miles of driving, 1 due to a faulty build and 1 due to faulty machining, i could arrange collection in london next week, but that first pic of the bore looks like it needs a rebore? the pic isnt very clear mate Quote
AdamB Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 ^^^ name and shame mate, I don't wanna be in the same situation Quote

turbo Grant Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Gota remember the only uk car fitted with the 5e was the paseo and they only sold just over 2000 befor they pulled it from the market. Quote
