Nice to see you cracking on with it mate! wanna sell the old rods?
Is that bluesprint place in maldon? if so how much do they charge? and did they do a running in procedure for you?
Mine siezed on the rollersstill to strip it yet not looking forward to it!
You have a pm mate
Morning all just thought id give a bit of an update. I picked the engine back up on sunday, the end replacements were a new set of bearings only. Even the rods are re usable but as I have a bull in a china shop attitude and bought the rods before assesing the issues the new rods were put in. Also the block was chemically washed out, the pump was inspected and found to be fine aswell, so ill be putting it back in on sat i think ready for outlaw.
I know we all think that I have fallen in the the **** and come out smelling of roses with this failure. and as steve said if the engine had ran a bit longer it would have been game over so I have been extreamly lucky again
Update on new part to go on:
the oil pressure line is now going to be ran in teflon overbraided pipe & torques/aeroquip style fittings ( the pipe is rated at 273c and 1000psi).
ive also bought a TX radiator to try and keep the coolant temps down.
and im changing my single 10"slim fan to 2x 8" slim fans.
Ive also ordered a different fuel fille cap to mount in the window rather than taking the boot off to fill up.
Im also thinking about running the return lines in aeroquip style hose and fittings, fitting a oil cooler and changing the bonnet catches to aerocatches ont the back aswell.
Ill upload pics later.
Cheers Gareth
Good to hear your still cracking on with it.
You know me mate I'm like a pitbull never stop argueing and never give upOriginally Posted by Jonlem
Ha ha.
Good to hear its nearly fixed if iam honest i was shocked at pv that you had jubilee clips on the oil lines
Cheers mate in hind sight the jubilee clips may not have been the best idea but it wasn't the clips that failed at pv, i was using them to suit but that won't happen now
I might try and get to the outlaw to see you run matey
