I'd simply repair the head and slap a good piston and rod assy out of the other engine into it after a light hone. Unless it has actually damaged the bore to a point you need to bore it? If the latter I'd just junk it and start again.

Forgies aren't worth the expence, you're not near the limit of the stock gear yet.

I can take some. It was pretty easy, on the back of the pump there is 6-10 big phillips head screws. use an impact driver to get them off, cover lifts off, gears slip out easy, put some vasoline on the new ones and slip them in. Loctite, and impact driver the cover back on.

he pressure was 110psi, as it was just running a normal N1 releaf spring. I will enlarge the oil restricers, and drop the pressure back to 65-75psi with the new engine.

Wrong heat range plugs, tip fell off and went through the engine. But after I pulled it down, it was apparent it was a time bomb. The machinest didn't seat the valves properly, and some were leaking, and the Bearings were very warn. Looks like it was a very high km engine

e85 all the way. Yep I got some of that good VHT alloy in a can, it's now super light. Why people paint their blocks black is beond me, it's 1000x easier to work on a light engine, cause you can see what your doing.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
