Do you drive the Green Classic?

Sorry to hear about the engine, hope it all works out for you Could try Grade A or Japperformance parts. I know Dave Coe says he buys up engines so maybe he would have something or point you in the right direction....HTH

Sorry to hear about your engine mate, were you the one parked next to me, until i had to make a sharp exit of course

damscoob

mine is the green classic yes, thanks for the help guys but i have decided to rebuild with acl competition bearings cosworth head gaskets and bolts port and polish the heads bigger turbo front mount intercooler maybe apexi management too and squeeze as much power out of the bugger as possible, just a shame im going to have to run her in for a while, oh well low boost for a while after rebuild, could have been worse i guess, should be finished by end of the month i hope.

DO NOT buy anything from SMR engines ever - you will regret it. Do a search on here, there is plenty of bad feedback for them.

Did notice an alarming amount of smoke coming from it when you were revving it on the stand for about 2 minutes. Maybe where the damage was done. Good luck with the re-build

damscoob

i must be blind, i didnt even notice that it was smoking, oh well its done now, at least i should have a good engine again soon, i just hope there is no damage to the crank, its a very quiet knocking so i may be lucky and get away with shells only but im not usually lucky so i will know later in the week when i strip her down and have a look, 1 or both of the head gaskets have definately gone though

Hope its not too much trouble to sort out mate

After new paint and all that polishing too!!

damscoob

shouldnt be too hard to fix her up, i have ordered my bits through sumo power, im going for cosworth main bearings and big end shells rated up to 1000 hp and cosworth 1.1mm head gaskets, should be up and running soon

I am breaking a 97 UK car this week and can do a deal on supply and fit on the engine if you wanted?

Has the 97 got the facelift dash ? I'm still hunting a mint drivers doorcard.

damscoob
