Silver C70 T5 - Manual - 400BHP

And to think my car is on standard rods and self built with bolt on's

It is a truth that there are just some engines and systems that hook up together. I find it quite frustrating that I've tried to do things the right way and so far have come up short.

Early on when Betsy had her original engine - which showed more promise than the one that replaced it - it ran 250bhp out the box with no mods. Sadly it popped just after fitting the 19T.

Talked to my engine builder on Friday - Bottom end is finished and the sump is back on. Head is nearly finished. I should have the engine back by the end of Jan. It is dragging a bit, due to resourcing issues. Hope to be back on the road in Feb.

Looking good for York then, and I look forward to the 'Dean' challenge.

There is a way to go yet.

There is a way to go yet.

You'll be ready in time though, as it's 5 months away or so. Are you on those 19's of mine yet?

[Wobbly Dave]

Had to sell them on.

Excellent news :-)

Rang my engine builder today for a brief chat/ update today. Great news is that the head is finished (though I forgot to ask if it has been bolted on). Skimmed, ported, polished & gas flowed - all new valves & 3 angle seat job.

Compression has been lowered - 7.93 to 1

My engine builder put his best cam profile SME to look at my cams & decided that it wasn't worth doing. I've talked this over with Hamish and I am happy with that.

Anyway I am trying to keep calm, but it looks like we're nearly there. Hope to go down mid week to bring the bits and the rocker cover tool & get the engine timed up/ finished off.

Good news Dave, I'm looking forward to seeing it back at it's best, even if it means getting thrashed again.
