who needs hourse power when you can have CLARK POWER!

[rsonblackwheels]

whoa dude! proper job

[rs-tom]

looks like someone took to ur engine with a 50 cal rifle

[- Danny Boy -]

Oooooh my god, that sure did make a mess!!! That sure is how you do it properly! Shame about having to spend out yet extra money to get it going again.. i say bigger and better

[GavStyli]

finally some good news! pistons and rods are here, the 2 bent valves in the head have been replaced, and my original sump thats been sitting in my garden for about 8 years has had a make over! powdercoated same colour as my wheels

rite all i need to do now is be patient and wait for the enginneer to come back from america in mid january ffs

[jayrs]

take it the guides were ok on the valves yeah?

out of interest, was the sump acid dipped before powder coating?

The valve guides were replaced along with the valves. Took it same place i had my engine re-bored.
Head skimmed and valves re-seated also.

I took the sump to our local powdercoaters and they said to me on the phone a week later it needed 4 days in soak to removed the 8 years of s**t that was on the sump.
so i guess it was dipped. will ask next time im down there.

Im very jealous how nice it is
they didnt coat the inside - back to bare metal like it should be

[jayrs]

very nice
what it cost to be done on the sump?

[knuckles]

very nice
what it cost to be done on the sump?

£40 to coat it in the gun metal grey
£30 for the extended dip/clean

Bit steep but worth paying the extra to get it perfect. New ford sump is over £160 new so can complain really

[jayrs]

no not bad i guess. as long as its a proper job and dont start rusting within a few months

[knuckles]

i was going to surprise gav with a yelllow sump

but then i wouldnt get anymore free haircuts and kebabs

[jayrs]

no, your get slapped round the head and fist jammed in your face

[knuckles]

but with my missing teeth i would fit the yellow sump to my engine

[jayrs]

[GavStyli]

engine is back home looks very nice indeed bar the state of the external part of the block which ill be painting some time this week (not fudgekin yellow!)
the engineer was just bloody brilliant, quality service. if anyone needs their engine done, let me know, he's based in ponders end and has alot of experience in building and driving drag racing engines and cars, his own doing 6 second 1/4s

[Dave_B]

what is this being built back to now? steel bottom end? still keeping the nitrous after recent events?

with me in the car mate (18 stones), setting a target of a 14 seconds would be more realistic!
