Forged engine build, to go in the 3 door project car. Parts and advice needed guys.

[Pompey306mark]

Right update after day two of the work. Yesterday we spent the morning getting parts we would. But after that we got cracking, Kris unbolted everything on the old engine so we could get the engine crane in and get the engine.

I started building up the new engine, laying out all the Pistons and shells and other stuff. We had to finish early but I thought we did well.

Today I picked up the seals and bits from peugeots, then headed over to kris's, we removed the old engine, and stripped it down to nothing. We found the problem with the old engine though.

Thrustbearings on no 2 shell were in correct, these slipped and broke the piston shell which slipped and allowed movement in the piston.

Old engine in pieces.


Crank in place on new engine.


Pistons waiting to go in tomorrow.


Car waiting to be fixed.


Need to do a bit of research on Vnt turbos now to see how to get it to work. Any tips would be great guys.
