Ek sien nou eers die slegte nuus. Oor diesels kan ek ongelukkig nie 'n intelligente bydrae maak nie. Sterkte ou maat.

Re: Chuck Norris is in ICU
Please keep us posted on the progress and what your plan is with the engine rebuild Christo. I agree with what you said, it must be built the right way this time.
Very interesting document on piston damage assessment and possible causes...... worth reading

Re: Chuck Norris is in ICU
I spoke to Graham just now - block, crank, head & pistons are with the engineering shop for assessment. One they've completd their measurements, we'll know which bits are reusable and which ones need replacement. Then we'll start soourcing replacement parts...Michael wrote:Please keep us posted on the progress and what your plan is with the engine rebuild Christo.

Re: Chuck Norris is in ICU
You can also cut the cams to a stage 2 .... while its all apart..... Speak to Frans about that, gives a lot more power for free. I'm actually sorry that I didn't do mine at the time... but I was tight on time !!

Re: Chuck Norris is in ICU
Hmmm.... won't I need high-lifting door handles and twin overhead rear-view mirrors to complement that camshaft mod?ricster wrote:You can also cut the cams to a stage 2 .... while its all apart.....

Re: Chuck Norris is in ICU
Graham received some sad news from the engineering guys yesterday. The cylinder block is cracked, and so is the head...
I'm afraid that no amount of re-building or re-sleeving will fix that engine

Re: Chuck Norris is in ICU
