Might need an engine v3sti
After a rebuild the car started fine and seemed ok. Drove it home and it just stopped, and hasnt started since. It turns over but doesnt take. Ive checked all the obvious things, but compression which is being done tomorow.
Im planning for the worst, and asking if anyone has an engine they looking to seel. ive looked through for sale section and e-mailed a couple, but there might be more.........
Thanks guys

Thats my fault , a friend helped me, so lesson learned lol. Unfortunately, when we stripped to find fault we assumed the valve we found was only issue, now, I dont think it was only issue.
Fortunately, build was cheap and I have obtained some nice new bits!!

Cheers for the advive Jura.
V7 bottom end, will my v3 oil pump etc fit? And I bought unequal headers for the v3, any chance they will fit to?
Out of interest why a v7 bottom end?

It can be done - but proper calculations need to be made to use the correct headgasket.
Done *****-nilly will have something like 7.4 : compression or on the alternate, somewhere in the 8.5 range Neither are good.

NOT a great idea ! The vers 3/4 engine has pistons that stick out the top of the bore and uses thick head gaskets. The V7 / 8 has pistons that don't reach the top of the bore and uses thin head gaskets.

Yeah I know Sonic, I messed up lol. Ive found an engine to put in now thanks to a fellow scoobynet member. Only a standrad sti, while I open the old one and find the problem.
