Its Been Aaaages

[A2TheA 0]

im really looking forward to getting the car back in the next month or so.

 

its had an mi conversion with jenveys on it the last time i drove it was about a year ago as a 1.6 gti.

 

im hoping to see a good gain in power.

 

the engine has pretty much been fully rebuilt now. new valves with 3 angle seats, new lifters, crank reground with new bearings, new piston rings and honed liners, slight skim on the head, new gaskets all round.

the sump is having a bit of 'anti-surge' work done on it. and should be ready in a few days.

 

its taken about a year to accomplish this due to funds and problems etc

 

i have pretty high hopes for this engine and hopefully it will last a while, providing i look after it

 

anyone else got a set up similar? what are your views on the engine?

 

Thanks

Your responses will likely be limited to :-

 

"Too many valves"

"Oil surge blah blah doom blah blah too many valves"

 

 

Hope you enjoy it!

My guess would be 180 hp & big (s)miles per hour!

 

Enjoy!
