The Raven Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 The wiring from the number 6 was botched (before i got the engine) i didnt see it was hacked and connected it as i saw it. Forced the inject to open full plet. Fuel may have caused damage, new block if so. Knew i should have set fire to it when i had the chance. The issue is fixed another oil change in the morning and let it run to see whats going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ah man thats bad news about the wiring, good that the problems fixed hopefully there will be no further damage for you its been a long road for sure, was the engine bought on here? Or from elsewhere? if it was from a member thats pretty shady to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 hows the car doing. can it be fixed.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Righty, Overfuel is fixed downside VSS are shot due to the fuel eating them. So head off job with everything that goes along with it. Atleast i will know its all done and wont have to worry about it in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good news mate, I take it that means she can be saved? also can't you get the VSS's done without taking the head of or does it need to come off to see what other sort of damage might have been done?

SpeedyAndy Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 looking really nice mate, really do like the work you have put in to this.

I wouldnt want to do it any other way to be honest. I dont know alot about the engine other than its miles from the old ODO. So end of the day its worth taking a looky see anyway. Means i know the head has been done, the VSS and cambelt. And to be fair the engine is out anyway to make room for the new rack.

mellonman Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 great stuff glad that this was not the end , once its done its done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Update time! Spoke to the tech and everything is moving on well. The head is now back VSS are in. However he noticed it had some strange after market crank pully. I have seen them before they are small ones that dont have any rubber on them. Needless to say he was unhappy with that so OEM crank pully going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
