Started fitting crank with new bearings. stage 1 40nm stage 2 80nm, no need to renew bolts


Then fitted the crank splash gaurd and pick up, this was sourced from the old 1.8 as the 2.0 are diffrent.

These are the new babys witch are the heart of the engine, very happy with these.


And these will make sure evey thing will stay where it should


So all the pistons were fitted with a very gentle touch



Lapped valves and fitted new uprated valve springs, thanks ian howell for these and new seals were fitted. All gaskets were brought from burton power.

You did plastigauge to check tolerances on the bearings yeah?

[shaunrs]

All big end replaced and arp bolts fitted and tourqed too 25ftlbs, I then fitted the head, lifters, standard cams and cam belt then fitted the rocker cover and torqued it to 7nm.


A heaver flywheel was fitted as a bummer took 6mm of my old one, this was off a mk5 escort and its a direct fit! no enlargement was needed and the helix clutch was fitted. Inlet was bolted back up and torqued to 16nm. Getting closer now


The saab t3 with the custom erst with zetec flange was cleaned and got given the ok to fit.


The gearbox was stripped and repainted, gearbox mounts seem ok.


A few hours later and she was looking like this

To be honest i didnt! my local engine centre checked it, told me to fit new shells and it will be fine. Dont get me worried now

[niracka]

How come you didn't change the bolts??? Would have thaught it would be worth it just for piece of mind as it is recomended.

Engine is looking sweet. Bet those pistons and rods cost you a few bob!!!

Keep up the good work man.
