well we will find out on thur night when the sump is taken off.

if it's full of grit then i will scrap/break the car as it will cost too much to rebuild the engine as the block, crank, pistons, turbo, will be all fucked.... :cry:

Andy mate, Not startin another little debate here but, whos job was it to clean all the grit out, the engine builder or the owner of the engine :?: , im sure you've seen the post by kieran, so you know the watchful eyes on this thread :twisted: .

I know you and the so called 'builder(s)' of the engine and I am good mates with you both. And I also know both sides of the story so far, i dont want to fall out with either of you over this but just think about the original agreement that was discussed mate.

Im sure it will all get sorted, but at your expense unfortunately :cry: .

But for god sake, as ive told you before, DONT GIVE UP OR SELL IT!

If you wanna discuss it more mate give me a ring, even if its for the fiver that i owe you if you think it will help :p .

Cheers.

James.

:cry: wish i hadnt of offered my help.just thought he would like the idea of it being so clean and he did.i have done shot blasting on around 12 engines now and all have been alright and still are. if it is something to do with the shot i can only presume some was left in somehow as all openings apart from blind bolt holes were covered up and protected.that meaning grit shouldnt have got inside.the blind bolt holes should then have been blown out with an airline. :? :(

well the good news is that no grit came out when the oil was drained.

but the bad news is that we still can't find where the knocking is coming from... :cry:

the rocker was taken off and the cams look shagged and on one of the lobs there are marks (sort of a blue colour and looks almost burn't ?). anyway looks like the only option is to have the engine pulled apart and rebuilt bottom end upwards. looks like i'll have to park the car up for another 6 months before i have the cash to get it done......bollocks!!

i was told there was a bronze tint in the oil that was drained off and was told this is not good :cry:

sorry to all the vultures but it looks like the bits are stayling on my car lol.
