FOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!
I was just about to post.
Feel for you Dezzy, but did it have oil and water in her???
I know its the obvious, was it timed up correctly too?

Oil and water. The oil light went out and the water was just about to be bleed.

They thing ran and was reving. The thing sounded good. I cant fooking believe it, I suspect that the bores are slightly tight as it was tight to turn over on the stand but i put it down to being new rings etc!

I am on the floar

Just had the call from Dez about this, I thought he was messing about, but the tone of his voice told me otherwise. Hope it's a glitch and not a total rebuild. Had oil pressure by all accounts and was just about to bleed the cooling system when it shut down.

Fingers crossed for you mate

Have you still got all the details of the bore sizes, rings, pistons etc...?

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 3:03 pm

Whats the best advice here to try and avoid any damage and get it going - any preventative measure that can be taken before trying to start. Thats gut wrenching - just about to start an engine build myself.

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 3:04 pm

the bores were done to M3 pistons. I think they are 86mm.

The rings were new and for S50B30.

Oh yeh mate. Braking out the 1.4 turbo oil burner 207 mate.

I will have to hide it in the carpark though.

This day keeps getting worse. Our shop is out of export. Bast4rds. I had to settle for stella. Bad head tomorrow.

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:01 pm

Cack mate. Chin up though, if only it,s to pour more alcohol down your throat.

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:02 pm

Wife beater eh, Claire better behave herself tonight & give you plenty of sympathy

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:07 pm

Ha ha your joking Lee. We have already had the 'what so there's more to do to it' conversation.

Cheers Rod. I have perked up since 3 this afternoon. It will be sorted.

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:08 pm

Dez, I'm speechless. If I were in your position I'd be suicidal. I know what I felt like when my first 2.7 ran-up the white flag and I'd had 20k miles out of it.

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:10 pm

Oh shit

Cheers mate.

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:14 pm

Damn dude, that sucks!

I'm even resisting the temptation to take the piss too, for now...

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:19 pm

thats a complete shitter dez, its a real moment when you fire an engine for the first time after its been in bits but to have it run and then fail is a proper boot to the baby makers

its a shame you arent coming to the pod saturday, id happily help you get drunk to numb the missery

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:19 pm

Thanks mate.

It will be sorted in due course.

Just carry on as normal Gareth, Dezzy needs to be cheered up.

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:27 pm

Yep, you should graft a lift to the Pod tomorrow night for sure now Dez. Such a shame after all the work.

Post Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:32 pm
