ellis Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 I know mate, but ive just spent about 3.5k on mine now. Plus ive been off work ill for the last 2months, without sickpay, so have lost over 4k in pay, for funnily enough, kidney problems, so i cant sell one of mine, as its the only one working properly at the moment so needless to say, im a lil low on fundies. I may give you some £ for your kindey though.. My bills getting there too unless this motor from Jake is OK then we might be seeing it finally going south!

Jake Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Can I ask a few questions? Where has the block come from? Crashed car? If so, front ender or just from a rebuild? Why was the engine slit in the first place? What condition was the engine in prior te being removed? Was it running before it was removed? Any smoking? Any more info greatly appreciated.It came from an uncrashed 1998 VVTi TT. It was removed because the bottom end was knocking. It didn't smoke at all. I've taken the cylinder head off and the bores look like new (The VVTi cylinder head is no use to you anyway). I've never got round to taking the bottom end apart but I would assume the crank is no good or needs new shells. Your crank is OK, right? You can have it like it is or I can strip it down to just the block and pistons - whatever you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Your crank is OK, right? Who knows!! I'll give the engineer a call and get his opinion on the work involved to strip out some of my bits and mate it all together. Can you give me a few hours to mull it all over?

Lucifer Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 This is a quick request - my car's engine is curently being stripped, checked and, where needed, bits replaced! My chap phoned today and says I now need block with pistons etc as 4 of the 6 pistons have knackered/worn rings - hence my lovely smoking problem! So - anybody out there know of best place (got a price from Steve Manley for the whole assembly - brand new) or somebody who might have this? Cheers in advance. Would need this very quickly as well. I have a compelte set used in stock but all good. PM me if you need a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
