DHdev WIP thread (56k No!, lol)

Awesome mate... from concept to where it is now I've been loving this thread!

Cheers!
Although where it is now, is on my drive with a busted engine :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

oh dear, explain....

Went out for a 20 min blast. Was driving in a spirited manner, but not limitering it or anything silly. Dropped it down a gear for a corner, went to accelerate out the other side and it started spluttering like a misfire. I knocked it to neutral revved it and it sounded sheeite so I killed it and coasted to my mates house. Pulled up and started it and it sounded like it had snapped a rod or something stooopid, so turned it off. Got trailored home, topped up the oil (was low) and fired it up and it is tapping like an angry keyboard warrior. Think it must've got starved of oil and seized a lifter or two.
I've got new cams to go in, so I'll strip it, get some new lifters (possibly solids) if thats the prob and hopefully it'll be hunky dorey :thumb:

Unlucky, dont you just love cars. Its been the same for mine expect it was every week for last 6 months lol. Hopefully its not too bad.

Its head off time, no compressioon cylinder 4 :(

This is an all too regular occurence with my car :cry:

Gutted for you mate. Thats a kick in the kahoonas.

The amount of running about poor old Colin has to do for you lol

agree with lee, gutted, but as you say some cams are waiting to be fitted so stripping it down can at least be justified even if you werent ready quite yet
