Four dropped liners? Bloody hell. I'm glad a certain someone didn't want to do the work on mine now.

 

Holy smoke!!!!

 

I would imagine they will skim the block to head faces. This will take out the height difference between the dropped liners and the block thus giving a completely flat surface again.

 

It look like there is virtually nothing wrong with it when you see it!

 

Stevebt,
That's really bad news mate. Hope it stays together this time.

 

You and me both Shaun, as we both know these little episodes push the price of an already waste of cash to an even more waste of cash

 

i'll second that one,as i'm another one having to have another full rebuild due to dropped liners from the very same engine builder.

 

Jinxed it now

 

once again awesome work there

 

You done anything more than going down Morrisons though yet?

 

all i can say its hats off to daz for the work he has put into his car,i hope when its all up and running that everything works out well for him.looking back now i wish i had done the same thing,bought and engine and took my time to build it myself,instead of taking it to some backstreat garage that knows nothing only how to take your money.atleast then if anything had gone wrong with it i would have only had myself to blame.

 

Shaun, when are you gonna be shopping at morrisons

 

The next engine I need, I will *think* about building myself......... but under the careful eye of Mr Bulmer. Just because I would like to build it and learn really. Build threads always make for very interesting reads as well. Saying that though, when it comes to it I might just watch him do it instead.

 

When they have a Start / Finish line and timing equipment!

 

I watch mine being built under the carefull eye of Mr Strongbow and the odd Bulmer as well

 

Supermarket Sprint, where's Dale Winton.

 

Shaun, I can seriously recommend buidling an engine yourself. Providing you've got the right parts and the right tools. It's incredibly rewarding and for me it's an awesome way to escape the day to day sh*t, work and anything else that may be on your mind. I love the time i spend working on the car. Not to mention the feeling of self achievment when it fires up and actually works.

Plus there's the added bonus that you've saved massive amounts of cash by doing things yourself.

 

Thats all i need to know.

 

1 out of 10 aint bad! lol

 

 

Coming together nicely now !!

Didn't seem long ago that you were pissed thinking your project was taking forever.
Compared to many current projects I would say your pace is better than most.
Glad you are well pleased with Zen's work regarding your block.

Can't wait to see this machine finished. This one should be awesome.

Will be worth the wait matey !!!!!!!

Fudge <-- looking forward to a side by side on the strip

 

I'll be atleast two seconds ahead of you.

your 16 seconds flat and my 14 seconds LOL

 

Harsh Daz, harsh. I have a video here of Skull doing a scorching 13.7 !

 

Hey !! ............. I sit down and take the time to remit a post in this forum expressing my delight in your cars advancements to which I receive what can only be described as a postal reply written by typical Northern thing with the potential I.Q. of the common fruit bat.


I notice the other Northerner selects his words accordingly too. "scorching"


mmmmm these N.K.W. (Northern Keyboard Warriors) may start receiving some good ol' Sarf London banter if things don't change.

 

Bloody hell Madhammer a northerner so what am I

 

Just make sure you bring your burger money

 

Too bloody right, me northern ! Skull, go find the soap and wash your mouth out My mates in the office would be in stitches if they saw that comment, good few guys from Leeds, Stoke, Wakefield, Liverpool etc. Daily banter is between the Peterborough locals and the 'northeners'

MAD Hammer = West Ham fan ! Nice northern team

 

So where is there a place in there from the north??

 

LOL, there is a few of your lot too mate but not in my area in the office

Sorry Daz, messing with your thread again!

 

I bet your mates would be laughing, you bunch of northern monkeys
