Jake Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 You're welcome mate. Why did you need a new engine? I didn't think it was that bad when you first described it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 You're welcome mate. Why did you need a new engine? I didn't think it was that bad when you first described it. Basically mate, the parts i needed that no one had came to total of £300 odd new....engine not much more. So i bought 2nd engine. Plus if i was unlucky and a valve or piston damaged i could of just chucked the other engine in. It is now a engine for me to strip down learn about and rebuild into a NA-T....when insurance man says yes...it will be ready to go in. Its my summer project Tdraper...why would i want one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
