some of yoy may already know, I have blown up my S14 at the last Ring trip :cry: Probably was a little bit to keen leaning it out on part throttle.

Here a picture of the damage

head

in the end I think I was quite lucky. Head hasn't suffered much and even the block is still in good shape for a rebore.

Due to a lack of the dreaded ££££ I have decided to part the engine and sell all my goodies :cry: :cry:

2.5 crank and MAXX AN already sold. As soon I have everything cleaned I will put pictures and prices up in the for sale forum.

A sad day for me.....

A sad sight indeed, Uwe. Wasn't your car featured in PPC last year?

If you're after a replacement engine, Davenotouring is breaking a 200SX winkeye

NO!

justtaken the valve springs off the head and only 1 exhaust and ! Inlet valve is bent. Not too bad considering how the piston looks IMHO
