stu_woac 1 Posted December 10, 2006 (edited) you want to see recipts really we could all say thats done to are engines with out you knowing plus it looks like its all just been painted to me Edited December 10, 2006 by stu_woac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t16ryan 1 Posted December 10, 2006 it has been painted, i asked him about reciepts he said he has them for the internals bearings rings ect, but not for the labour as the engine was bought from a tuning company, will it run ok with a standard pump? or best to fit a inline electric pump?

Jer309GTi 3 Posted December 10, 2006 Iron block? My thoughts exactly. Maybe a 106 XSi or AX GTi block? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted December 10, 2006 It's an alloy block in the pictures. Late 205 1.4's often had Iron blocks, all the UK 205 Rallyes did for example as well as the 106XSi 1.4 and AX GTi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macaroni 17 1 Cars Posted December 11, 2006 You won't need an uprated fuel pump running a standard carb. All that work and a standard carb and exhaust manifold? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stu_woac 1 Posted December 11, 2006 stay clear it is a alloy block not iron, you wouldnt be running a engine with the money spent on it on a standard carb unless its being raced,, as it is not aloud to change inlets in some classes but most still change to the weber as its alowed but why isnt the crank lighten and balance to go with the pistons and conrods??? I dont like it really so my advice is dont touch, your not even going to be able to here it running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
