I was referring to Chris not you

Ah then I do offer my sincerest apologies:angel:

Just a heads up.. Loctite everything after you remove the balance shafts.

a mates Oilpump pulley came loose on his new cosworth block and made the belt skip... the vibrations from not having a balance shaft plus the stiffer mounts led to it.

Yea it's the worst bit the waiting! And then running in! Be worth it in the end though!

Thanks mate! Will be doing a post on cost once it's all done! Recon it's going to cost about the same as buying a low millage standard motor with a warranty

The engine build!
Had a busy day yeasterday building the engine up, pretty well ready to refit to car now apart from a few little bits to bolt on! Big thx to Jamie at JB Racing for doing all my machine work for me, and helping me through the minefield of fitting Rods to offset pistons with very poor instructions!!!
B6lee is putting pics on as I am a techno failure and can't seem to do it myself :blush::blush: if only it was an engine I would know wat I was doing!
Will keep updating as engine goes back in!

 

[Wingnut247]

Engine now fitted and incial start up done and duste! A few more bits and bobs to fit and rad to fill and it can come off the stands !
