Engine progress.
Bottom end is now fully assembled.
Block was from the 305 estate build and is a 110 hdi 8v block from a 2003 Citroen Xsara. Block has been away to be honed and the top refaced.
Crank has had new bearings, smiley face forged conrods fitted with new bearings and arp bolts.
2.0 16v pistons from an 807 have been fitted with new OEM rings
Stock oil pump refitted and stock Ali sump.
Next stage is I am awaiting some uprated valve springs for the v35 dw12 cylinder head (head removed from a 2001 2.2 hdi Citroen C5). Once these springs arrive the head along with the springs will be going to local engineering place for a rebuild, skim etc ready to go onto the top of the freshly rebuilt block.
Exciting times ahead
