[HCS PIMP]

not fused gonna fit the rear in about 10 mins

[Tweek]

i was watching that engine on ebay, went for silly cheap money!

[HCS PIMP]

well cars lowered now, collected the engine, been to machine mart started making a work bench / engine assembly area
made a massive pile of parts to scrap I have
Rear turret carpets, parcel shelf, fuel tank and door seals all goign for free with the 2 old bumpers if anyone is wanting
give me a bell 07969408299
also 260mm mondeo calipers modified to fit a fiesta hub and going to be selling the 1.6 block, and head with cams if anyones wanting

[jonyb4]

whats the door seals to fit? 3 or 5door?

[HCS PIMP]

5 door and im not posting

[HCS PIMP]

[jonyb4]

nice welding


does the car fit in that garage? looks to small with the bench


its in need of some skirts of some sort, the bumpers sit lower and its uneven ya know?

escort mk5 RS2000 skirts would suit it well

[AW3K]

the bumpers on mine sit like that johny, cant really do much about it

[jonyb4]

well thats my point, they hug the floor, needs skirts to equalise it L:)

something i never got round to doing on my mk4

[Ratspeed]

nice welding

But on the skirts topic, it deffo needs something.

[Michael!]

rs skirts and arches otherwise it looks s**t.

[HCS PIMP]

well welding has never been my strong point I didn't prep for the welds and did it in like 1 hour so im not fused i built the bench purley to do the engine then ill be storing it down the side of the filing cabinate
Still got a fuel tank going cheap looks brand new even got a fresh coat of tetra shults on the underside and the 1.6 head and bottom end if anyones interested
going to go and take the crank off clean the bottom end and then rebuild with the new ARPs and some lube
Then thinking sump and tape off the water galleries so I can store it off the bench ready for the Head

Just some advice but make sure those valve guides are reamed before use, and some of the seats look a bit marginal too.

[jonyb4]

those ports aint looking very smooth, give them a polish if your going through the effort to try and enlarge them

[HCS PIMP]

i am going do i did write a long piece of text explaining the pictures and windows crashed so i just added the pictures it only a zorst port but i do plan on goign over with a flap wheel to smooth it out thats just the rough work will do all the ports rougly like this then go over with some 80 grit then 150 grit

[HCS PIMP]

[Ratspeed]

Not sure if its the pics or not, but them ports look fudgekin butchered!

[HCS PIMP]

got my new thermostat seal today and got a price list for some part for the engine rebuild also got a price on a sport cat

[jonyb4]

hard to tell or not, but how smooth are the ports now? id go down as far as 300 grit to get them baby bum smooth


and just a observation, take it easy around the valve seats, your starting to score them, you could ruin your seal if your not careful

at this time id stop using power tools and do it by hand (if i were ever to use a power tool to do this)


keep it up though

[HCS PIMP]

goign to regrind them all and the valve guides so not that massive a deal and will be skimming the head
also got quoted £250 for a sport cat with pipe work

[jonyb4]

ive seen sport cats go for £300 from prospeed in cardiff so quite a good price

but they weld them in for that price


surely regrinding the seats will need oversized valves?

all this is best left to the professionals imo

[HCS PIMP]

but i am a mechanic and have rebuilt engines before
you can regrimnd the valve seats at home with valve grinding paste the valves sat true of the seat by 4mm anywho so regrind won't damage anything
I won't be skimming the head myself as i dont have the tool used to do a skim also for £40 I woudl rather they did it
I would never do proper machining work but porting a cylinder head is failry straight forward
also having the ports too smooth can actually reduce performance as shown In David Vizards engine book
Im not going for Major BHP but know how much the area around the valve guide reduces air flow
I won't the car to be comfortable to drive around town hence standard cams and more than likely exhuast manifold as once the EGr is blanked flows more than enough without having to faf with either a mild steel ashley 4-2-1 or a stainless escort item that requires major effort

testing the water as im skint

[jonyb4]

that lasted long, why did you buy it if your skint now? its only been about 2-4weeks since you bought it, did you not anticipate you'd be a bit skint if you got it?

[HCS PIMP]

my work owe me £800 that should have come this month just gone it didn't urgo Im skint

[jonyb4]

[HCS PIMP]

mini update pic of fez at work and some inlet work i just did

[HCS PIMP]

did one inlet today im happy with the finish

[jonyb4]

getting better, thought you were selling up why you still doing it?


stupid image shack

[HCS PIMP]

cause if i get enough pay this month im keeping the engine lol
plus if i sell the block ill still have the head
i did the exhuast rough because the gasses passing through are being forced anyway and will be more back pressure from the standard manifold and cat
inlets were always going to be a better finish

[HCS PIMP]

well im keeping the engine not done any major work as ive been working my arse off at the min
and ive been really unwell plan is finish the head off this week just need to get tomorrow at work finished then a rare day off
my department was heaving today took over 30k so was a gr8 day only had 4 hours sleep
i really miss working with cars i just need to get my act together and get an apprentiship
shame the puma speed job never happened last year all due to a few typos
meh stuff happens main thing i still love cars
