Ok whats happened to an update of the stripped Engine?? any news Jonny?
Hey, update on the engine..
Going to a 83mm bore piston from the standard 82.5mm, 0.5 mm is more than enough to remove the marks in the bore which are very very light.. So pretty pleased with that, seems I was a little lucky!
The picture shows the damage to the bore, you can hardly feel this at all when you touch it, just seems to be metal transfer from the piston, the over bore pistons will be a sure fire way of getting the back to perfect!
You can see the damage to the piston here, no idea why this has come about, im having the injectors bench tested, but im guessing that its probably been ran on sh*tty fuel, with crap oil, and generally not been looked after.. Gutted but at least I know I dont need to shell out for a new block, that would have been a right kick in the balls!
Thanks to Nick I should have the parts required for the engine build early next week and shave a week off the build time as parts would have had to be ordered in from the states..
The engine should be built within a week, and by that time the turbo kit will be with me, fitting that with the motor out of the car will make it a lot easier for the inevitable adjustments and tweaks that a 2WD LHD Golf turbo kit will require to fit a 4WD RHD S3!
