Thought I should share a few pics a took toady of my new bottom end, for those of you who are interested it's a 2.5 bottom end from a S60 and the shinny thing inside the block is a forged piston (super spesh strong).

Thought you were going to say it was an R block!

Why go for the LPT block out of curiosity?

Was cheaper for me to get forged stuff for a 2.5 rather than a 2.3, and since I had to change the block why not. Got a set of 2.5 pistons and rods for sale if anyone interested?? lol

Question, can you stroke the 2.3 to a 2.5 or is it the bores that are different?
