Project faith. 2.1 8v HAS TO GO :( - bashbarnard - 14-01-2016
So as most of you are well aware I have and still currently own the estate of many engines (2.1, 1.9, 2,0 hdi 2,0 mtdi) however the shell is ropey underneath and to be honest I shouldn't have 2.1ed it let alone the rest of it. So this project in planning to have at fcs this year as it currently stands its not even a car. Its an engine and a half. The plan Was to put this back in mine. However due to the newly found workshop space ill be building a fresh shell ground up. Like it should be done. I'm not even looking for a car right now as I still have to clear some space etc so updates will be slow to begin with. But they will start rolling in as usual in a month or so.

Oh hurry up and find a car!!!
306 projects are useless without a 306.

would of thought this would drop nicely in that kingfisher.

I've got something in mind for the kingfisher. I always said id explore the m-tdi again a bit more one day. Who knows this might be the shell that goes in. The 2.1 is for my daily transport though.

Thanks for the offer but im not looking yet and wouldn't want a gti anyway. Would want another estate.

Yeah I remember that. You bought the engine then promptly scrapped the car it was meant to be going in didn't you?
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - zx_volcane - 14-01-2016
not a bad way to start on with a project
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - Piggy - 14-01-2016
I basically started my whole "thing" by the engine. The 2.1.
Had the 2.1 almost finished by time found the shell
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - bashbarnard - 22-01-2016
So the only progress is i now have two blocks and 1 head. All stripped down ready to be built.
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - bashbarnard - 22-01-2016
Head and
Spare block. Putting the new head on my old block.
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - 205dtub - 22-01-2016
I'd be interested to see if the 12v head could be made to for the 1.9 block.
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - bashbarnard - 22-01-2016
No idea about valve clearance etc but a 1.9 head fits the other way with modification to oil ways if you have the money to get it done.
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - Frosty - 22-01-2016
How come your using the old block not the new one?
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - Toms306 - 22-01-2016
12v head looks really weird, looks like all 3 valves are the same size? Surely that's not equal in and out?

Not sure be worth it tbh.
Its twice the weight/height
Plus more common mods known to improve the 1.9 head

You're dead right.
Equal flow be better...but valve size doesn't always relate
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - Toms306 - 22-01-2016
Fair enough, never seen a 12v before lol!

The old block is known and trusted and is very good condition internally already. Taking another block to bits for the hell of it seems a bit pointless. I'll keep it aside just incase I ever did throw a rod. Lol.
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - Redordead89 - 22-01-2016
You could drop it in my kingfisher if you weren't too dead set on an estate! Would make a nice his n hers on the drive

We already have a kingfisher. My estate is getting ropey. Well has always been ropey, lots of good bits on a bad shell. That needs to change. Need to keep an estate for the family. If not id love your motor.

Ah fair enough, i just wondered why you took an engine that was complete apart. Guess you were going to head gasket etc any way then?
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - bashbarnard - 23-01-2016
Ah yeah I suppose that's a fair question. Its head is being rebuilt ported flowed etc a pre cups being pinned in place. Like to check things are right before I ram power down them.
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - 205dtub - 24-01-2016
Wasn't aware you could pin the pre cups in place.

Poss just hitting with a punch to try and lock them?
Tbh they shouldn't fall out of installed properly, but often seem to if replaced
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - bashbarnard - 24-01-2016
Yeah just dot punch them. Not so much to stop them falling its to stop them turning. That's all. Mine will probably come out for head to be done. They should be safe though if they've been out surly.
RE: Project faith. The beginning (bashs new one) - bashbarnard - 07-02-2016
So I have a shell. £40

Lol. Only picture I have I'm afraid. I have engines still in bits. Currently fixing the wife's daily 306 and my 206 that I've got. Once they are done ill have more stuff to report.
