how far are you going to go with this engine? or just get it going again?

if you mean performance wise, pretty much standard other than probally an exhaust system! rebuild wise, guna changed every gasket and seal, piston rings, get head repair, paint it up make it look all nice and clean with few polished and powerdcoated bits etc....

yea nice

spend my money more on getting it looking nice and clean than performance! think ill be happy enough with standard power anyway

oh you will lol standard powers awesome

mint then, cant wait... whens yours guna be running on the carbs?

god knows!! i really need to get my arse in to gear, just its proving rather expencive, as ignition kit is £250 and port and polish and porous mod will be £250/300 then manifold and exhaust system on top will be another £400 and vernier pulleys will be another £100 and rolling road will be another £150 so its a slow process,

damn, thats alot of cash their tbf! you defiantly guna go through with the carbs then?. that head porting is more expensive than i thought aswell tbh

head is off the engine now, not much carbon inside tbh, compared to what 1.4 was like, soo seems like was a good runner


also removed sump, pick up, water pump and oil pump now

thought u was scraping this anywayz?
i bet you house is like mine parts of engines here there and everywherer haha

yeah, changed my mind and decided to keep it.
well sort of yeah, except i had to buy 3 massive boxes to keep my engine in
if i left parts everywher i would get kicked out haha, so not good

Engine is completly stripped down now

some work gone into that already

looks spot on that mate,
a good little re-build

fair play, even i wasnt brave enough to strip my engine right down, hope you intend on keeping it for a long time as you'l have spent a little fortune when you add it up towards the end on inlet and exhaust gaskets, head gasket, 8v baffle sump with (gaskets already on), and main and big end bearings, cam belt kit, new piston rings, bore hone, water pump, oil pump, head porous mod,
