Hello all...

I finally picked up the manifold,









Test fitted it on the spare engine i have got and noticed that it is going to foul the crossover pipe...



After looking different meathods i think i have found one. As used on the KA



So fingers crossed i can find one of these pipe...

Back to the engine it was time to start stripping it down i can can get the block and and sent to the machine shop do i can get the pistons measured up.



Then head off...





Block seperated from gearbox ready to be lifted out...



Parts removed





Stage 3 T3



Pro Alloy Front Mount...



Hopefully get the block out this weekend or next week and can get the engine bay tidyed up and painted...

Cheers

[jonyb4]

good progress, when someone refers to a stage 3 turbo, what does that mean?

[HCS PIMP]

normaly cut turbinr blade, roller bearings sometimes, larger compressor wheel, flowed exhaust elbow and slightly high boot due to a new waste gate actuator

[jonyb4]

ah, theres so much scope on a turbo engine compared to N/A!

[Dave5300]

looks good mate nice progress

[TIL13R]

Update....

Been a few weeks but finally got the block out.... Stripped it down...







Whilst stripping out we found the cause of the engine to fail... no4 conrod bolt had fallen out...

Causing the bearing to spin out and making a right mess off the crank...

Over next few weeks head going off to be tested cleaned and skimmed, Block off to be cleaned and find out how much work is needed then can get Pistons and rods ordered with matching bearings..

So fingers crossed over next few weeks the engine will get slowly built up and the changes will happen...

Cheers

[hb69]

Reckon it will be ready for ford fair?

[TIL13R]

Reckon it will be ready for ford fair?

Dont honestly know mate, not in any major hurry rather build it and take longer than rush it to get it to ford fair...

[jonyb4]

wow never heard of a con rod bolt falling out, im guessing ARPs are on the agenda then

take your time and do it right is the way


was just looking back through the earlier pages, damn did you jump in with the body work, i admire you for keeping the car this long

[TIL13R]

Yea ARP's are on the list....

The car has had alot of love and abuse since i have owned it.... Always treated with the best products tho...

Lucky i have a spare crank in my old N/A lump so that will be polished up and used....

[jonyb4]

ah lucky haha

[andymac]

Yea ARP's are on the list....

At 6200+ rpm on my car, the reciprocal load on the factory big end bolts exceeds their stated combined clamping force. ARPs are also on my shopping list.

Woops that might of been something to do with chasing a few things lol....

[andymac]

I'm going to forged internals next year so I'll be using arp (or equivalent strength) fasteners throughout the engine build and helicoiling quite a lot of the head for improved strength. The rods & pistons are about 5g heavier than the factory items, so the uprated fasteners are a must in any event

[rsonblackwheels]

nice progress, looks like good fun

I use APR's in my CVH too, a good idea with the a Newman cam and solid lifters.

keep up the good work

[TIL13R]

Bit of an update picked up a few new gauges and also a baily breather too

here are a few pics....







Breather...





as im not a big lover of the alloy/polished look. I have had in my cuboard crackle paint just for this

After 1 heavy coat then 3 light coats...







Let it go off over night and...







What do you all think...??

Cheers

Looking good. Not sure on the crackle paint. Seems to be popular with quite a few things now though!

But it sure is different, so it's a winner

[Dave5300]

i like the paint, nice a suttle

[jonyb4]

i love crackle, its weird how it works, comes out glossy and goes textured like that

love the gauge selection


im not big on too much chrome either, theres a fine line many over do imo

[TIL13R]

Starting to strip the inlet and few other engine bits to be painted

[choaky]

Nice car mate, Black mk3s always look great on those wheels! Iv got a mate with a black rs running those wheels too. Stick some gingercators on it!
