ryan lang Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 got the car dyno'd today, was well disapointed with the result, until i re-watched the video back made 135.9bhp boosting at 0.5 bar, so in theory, its making more power than standard, at less boost pressure than standard. which is always a good sign vid: can wait to refit the cat and crank it back up to 1 bar now ive had the fanimold skimmed so theres no leaks new discs turned up today, along with pads fogs from micky ryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan lang Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 right, finally got around to stripping the original (nakered headgasket after 5 weeks and other problems after another 5 weeks after fixing headgasket) engine as i suspected, it was ringland failure. but also found another bombshell waiting to explode! two of the conrod bearings had worn through to copper also im only in need of the head at the moment but im hoping to build the bottom end in the future forged baby! literally going all out and aiming at a dry sump system eventually (in the not so distant future) anyhow because we all like pics, here are some not the warmest day to be arsing about in a non heated garage with just natural light onto the stand it went rocker off, cams out remembered this was a brand new pump and saw about a months worth of use buckets and shims numbered and taped together head off, mucky oily pistons head still mint minus a few tiny parts of gasket which pretty much came off in one piece. car probably hadnt done 200 miles since fitting the headgasket and now, the damage the plan is to rebuild the head and fit it to the current bottom end i have on the car at the moment as the valve stem seals are gone in that engine ryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
