rebuild / respray update pics 2016

WTF? I can't believe it, you Sir have an unhealthy engine eating habbit! Do you want me to build it this time? Get an oil pressure gauge, baffle out the sump, its a must if you drive it hard you should see how the pressure fluctuates around the track and mine is baffled and always at the full line. So am I back to being the only working B20 again? Jeepers

Think might just sell complete lump as only needs a bottom end shell and maybe teg lump as straight swap

Mk is just like a race track and think just throws the oil to one side , and drys out a bearing for a split second and maybe over 40 round abouts it takes a knock

Pissed off can't explain it at the minute as it was flying !!! I just don't know what to do all I know is I am not taking the engine out this time some one else can

[battscrxvti]

Solman if you wanna rebuild it you are welcome to my friend

[Donhumbostoni]

I can't believe it! We must have the same bad luck curse! Although you've had your sol years! Feel so sorry mate! But do like the idea of k series

[Paulm]

get it to the workshop and do it there, my half of the unit is empty

and oi solman, mines only off til the rings come this week then i'll be out again

[solman]

I give it 2 days Got my ostrich working last night, going to take it out Sunday morning for some road mapping\data logging.

[Paulm]

ah good stuff, makes it a lot easier

[battscrxvti]

Paul might take you up on that , gonna take sumo off and see what gone , check crank and see if ok if is will try just bearings , of not then might find a b18c6 so will sell complete it's a bitch as it never even smoked or used oil !!

[battscrxvti]

Yellow stuffs were still smoking 20 minutes after I broke down

[Curtis]

you tool!!

I think it must be the roundabouts. Your worse than chubb for blowing engines!!

[sol'd out]

What the hell do you do to your cars Karl??????

I think you need to move house to somewhere with less roundabouts and temptation!

[battscrxvti]

Not all my cars just this one
Think I should move too but ......


I didn't build it to drive to Tesco or cruise with tunes up and roof off I built it to drive it and I drove it hard , I am going to need a lot of help pricing up which way I go now , but what ever goes in will need to be able to take Mk

Curtis felt the b20 and the car across one round about and it just wants to grip and go , the thing is I am not taking the engine out this time I wil pay some one else as really don't have the time

[SiR_chris]

Gutted for you mate. Just have a good think and don't rush into anything.

And whatever you do, baffle that sump and install some gauges. Hell, give the car a 5min rest every so often!

What does that mean Chris?

[SiR_chris]

What do you mean? lol. Baffling a sump helps with preventing oil starvation. Gauges help you to monitor what is going on (oil pressure and oil temp req) and don't cane the motor for 2hours - take a cool down 'lap' every once in a while to help reduce temps etc. if they get high
