J25GTi Posted June 6, 2012 Share 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!

glanzagee Posted June 6, 2012 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
J25GTi Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
