I have an adaptor on mine, allowing me to run a oil temp sensor too

Thanks mate, they've hidden that away.

[JT]

I've just taken 1 off this engine, do you need 1??

[stribo]

Yes please.

[JT]

Pm some details and I'll send it out

[stribo]

PM sent.

Nice work so far JT, if I have missed it already I appologise, what has been done to the engine that's going in or is just a standard lump from a known good source that you will run for a bit?

going standard, wind the boost back a bit and hopefully get some laps in.
If I'm right, it should still push out over 300bhp

[JT]

bit more done this afternoon



looks like the head has been ported???
not sure if that's a good sign or not??



also tried to remove the oil stat, first attempt didn't end well! lol



2nd attempt, much better

[AndysR]

Nice progress, I guess if it has been ported then that's one less thing you will need to worry about, it does match the gasket well

yea, just worried there might be problem with the engine if someone has already been fettling????

What's the story behind the engine? Did you hear it running before you bought it/did it come from a source well known to you? Just because it's been ported doesn't necessarily mean you need to worry of course

[merc85]

as long as it got the right flywheel fitted JT im sure it will be fine lol

I'm sure it was a working engine, but we'll see soon enough
fingers crossed

Good progress is that franks old engine with the white manifold

[stribo]

I think he's still got his white manifold, and I don't think JT wants an engine with a bent rod.

[JT]

nope!

I painted my own

[JT]

first time!

[JT]

unfortunately, the oil stat housing I was messing with, leaks like a teabag! pmsl

so if anyone has one lying around I could buy, that would help

[stribo]

Good to see it running, how long will this one be in for?
