Bad luck is good luck in this case then, as said lucky the issue didn't rear it's head later on during mapping.

Ever silver lining has a cloud etc.

 

Certainly is Ty,

 

So wots the rebuild plan now then si

 

*cough* EJ22 *cough*

 

The answer to my nightmare

 

Ideally I suppose a great quality split block so that the plans can continue but that looks like a rare option - I've seen some long/short motors F/S on here with the help of Ty Merv's block is Thinking time at the moment

I can't remember what was included with Merv's engine, but the pistons you've got won't fit the 22.

 

Just saw damage in your thread on gen tech, done a nice job of that cylinder didn't it.

 

I'm glad to be able to help Simon, even if it's just a matter of pointing you in the right direction.

 

Tiny update: Head has gone in for skimming and four new valves needed + valve seals....for now.

 

coming along then si you maybe in scooby for rally day yet

 

Gone and come back



Also got my pug head done as the headgasket had gone. There's something nice about a freshly machine head.

 

Always good when the give you clean and polished head!!


But not good with that block Rich, glad you stripped it now, as that would have gotten EXPENSIVE otherwise, and glad Si didn't fit it without you checking too. Close call really.

 

Looks good Rich, thanks for getting that sorted JB: It was a lucky escape, dodged a bullet there I think Also feel sorry for Rich D as we thought the block was a tidy one !!

 

Thanks si, glad your good to go though. Still haven't heared from numpty though regarding my engine.

 

Who's numpty ?

 

We're heading in the right direction Rich, though that was a big upset Shame that Rich

 

Did have an idea of selling you mine but it's not a CDB

 

Trust you Calv LOL - what's yours mate SCD or Open, what internals are fitted ?

 

Open i think Si with standard internals. Been ideal for a build if it was SCD or CDB.

 

Thanks to Merv but looks like the EJ2.2 has a new home

 

Good news Simon, just don't going building a 2.35 monster out of it.

 

In the words of Michael Jackson...........
























Cha'Mone!!!!



😃

 

Trust you Tyron, good idea though

 

LOL Nice one Rob

 

Hows the build going si Is it pug or bug for rally day

 

It'll probably be pug. Having a nightmare trying to find a block local enough to check over. There is one in Barry but it has done over 100k, looking at richd's again to see if it can be repaired. There seems to be plenty of blocks around but the are miles away!

 

After weeks of searching and not coming up with a block for Simon I hav thought outside the box (or engine bay)

I've picked this up to break. So shortly we can start work on the Bug again I drove it back and goes ok. Originally purchased from Kieth Price, so someone may know it.

 

First dibs on rear spolier rich if u selling that is
