Hello all....

Another small update, Block has been sent off to Headline MK - http://www.headlinemk.co.uk/ to be checked over and find out size can be bored too... Then i can contact Jano @ Oddkidd to order my pistons and rods

In the mean time i have been stripping down the inlet ready to clean up and paint....

Cleaned all out in parts washer 1st, then washed excess off with a scotch and thinners and finally flatted down with 320 grit paper...













All preped and warm in the booth ready for painting....











Once left to dry over the weekend and de masked looks like this













Really happy again how they have all come out... Final bit of prep work was for my Pro Alloy front mount

Same again bit of 320 grit to key it up....



On stand ready for its satin black paint job....





After drying.....



and de masked...



Looks 1000% better than it did Stealth...

Comments welcome as always....

Cheers

[jayrs]

might have to get some

[TIL13R]

The paint i used is called PJ1 Paint.... crackle finish... i cant seem to find anymore of it tho... can only guess its been discontinued....

So if i need anymore im going to be looking to get this...

http://www.frost.co.uk/automotive-paint ... rosol.html

Doesnt seem to be as high temp tho.... Not that the parts i have painted are going to get that hot...

[TIL13R]

Just for you Jay it comes in red too.....

[jayrs]

ill try it out on clarks car see how it looks then go from there then

[TIL13R]

Haha let me know how it all goes... lol...

[jayrs]

yeah ill text ya from A&E once clark finds out

[jonyb4]

what texture does the finish have? looks like it will feel rubbery

[FRSJON]

nice work im not a fan of crackle paint but yours is probably the best ive seen it applied/finished.. intercooler looks good.. good to see my efforts with the red paint/pro alloy stamp lasted well (was well chuffed when i did that )

[TIL13R]

Haha yea it did last well.... Just with the silver bit poking out the top of the bumper i wanted a bit more of a stealth look.... lol....

Cheers i like to try and get the best finish possible and help with the acess to the spray booth to get items to temp so paint sticks and goes off well...

Will be a few more parts this weekend also...

I know its not to everyones taste but its alot less cleaning under the bay....

[rsonblackwheels]

looks great, good job, can't wait to see it all go back together

keep up the good work

[TIL13R]

[Dave5300]

looks really good mate

[jayrs]

looking good mate.
im liking the cam belt cover in the crackly black, that does look smart

[TIL13R]

looking good mate.
im liking the cam belt cover in the crackly black, that does look smart

Much better than the alloy..!!!

[jayrs]

stainless you mean mate

tbh, i was thinking that, and im 50/50 on it.
i got the same stainless cover but with a ford badge cut out of it, dunno if mine would look good in black or not, but the one like what you got with the RS TURBO cut out, yeah, im feeling it more in the black

[TIL13R]

Help/advice please....

Fuel Rail....

How do i remove the old injectors and fit the new ones...???

Cheers

Tiller

[jayrs]

take the two 13mm bolts out, and then pop the rail off, all thats holding it on is the O rings on the injectors, start one end rather than try and pull the whole thing off in one hit.

when refitting, use brand new seals (which i know you will) and very lightly smear them with oil to aid them sliding in.
pop the injectors in the inlet, then push the rail down on the injecotrs, again, start one end, but keep the angle shallow as not to force the injecotrs over at much of a angle, it will go on in the end.

you prob find it could be easier with the top half of inlet off, or the TB, but it can be done with them in place.

make sure there all seated right before bolting it down, a small gap between the faces where they bolt is alright as it will pull it down, but dont try bolting it down to pull it onto the injectors

[TIL13R]

Another parts update....

Well after taking all my hoses off the car all looking grubby i decied to clean them up a bit....



After a quick wipe down they come up really well....



Next was to check and clean up the injector loom...



Cleanned all the wires free of sticky glue, also the same on the casing.



Old tape...



All wrapped...





Now for the fuel rail, Spent a few hours polishing it up with autosol...





Also a brand new set of 701's to fit too....



Another nice brand new purchase was these....







Finally got a new Group A Cosworth filter too...



Should be also recieving my Baffled sump tomorrow, Collecting my pistons, rods & bearings on monday then down the machine shop... then re rebuild begins....

Cheers

[Dave5300]

looks great, fuel rail came up trumps

[MAD_Adamski]

great movement looks ace, however the cam choice could be bad my newman was a TW*T i wouldnt have another on a cvh the lifters rattled loose every couple of weeks even after me and my garage set it up

[jonyb4]

niiice! some awesome goodies, phase 4 cam?! s**t some power to had from that

exciting times

[TIL13R]

Hello all...

Little bit of an update, been sorting out a few loose ends....

Baffled sump....









Also flatted and painted my strut brace





Strip down of my St3 Port and Polished head ready to be cleaned...









Also an addidtion for the cam and lifters too...



Finally built up my inlet too.. All crackle painted, polished fuel rail, beige injectors, all good to go...









Last but not least i have brought a 6 point cage thats going to be painted white...









With regards the pistons and rods i was waiting for them to come from germany but now been advised all good to go... So fingers crossed next few weeks the build will kick off...

Cheers

[Tygress]

Oooooo Tiller, I'm Loving All The Black Engine Bits You Have Painted/Sprayed, I Also Love How You Shoved All Your Hoses In The Dishwasher???, Brilliant... I Can't Wait To See This Car For All The Shows!

[Rhinopower]

What power are you aiming for?

[jonyb4]

lovely...

[TIL13R]

What power are you aiming for?

Hopefully this time round on standard management would like a good solid 200bhp... then with management and new injectors next year i would like to achive the 250bhp barrier...

Cheers
