sandy_gray Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Spoke to bill tonight and i am going to pick my car up at greers in the morning. I Can't wait to get back in it instead of driving my mondeo they are so crap.Anyway it would appear that after the help meltdown post i had done a lot more damage than i had imagined!! Rod through the block which was a fair size of a hole,heads blown to bits and i mean every bit of them was junk and the pistons were a little melted as well.Thats what i get for fiddling with the bleed valve.So new engine in and i just need to put a 1000 miles on it and then back in for the rest of the bits and pieces to get fitted.[]
cullenmin Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 nice to hear your back on the road, bet that was expensive! I remember reading your help meltdown post Rich

fai17 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I had a wee look too when i was down and noticed you have a bigger turbo than it should've had.. What it is?
sandy_gray Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 I had a wee look too when i was down and noticed you have a bigger turbo than it should've had.. What it is? Ah its just an in-between turbo till its run in im unsure if its a 16g or an 18g tdo5 (no boost anyway) [:'(] most things that are bolted to the new engine will be getting changed after its done its 1st 1000 miles its straight back in []
