And yeah, the head gasket is f*cked, bolts are stretched, it's probably got bent rods... And goes nowhere near as well as it used to, so something is f*cked, I've not adjusted anything... So it must be the engine getting tired.
It used to light up 3rd and 4th regularly if you provoked it, now you'll be lucky if it starts to break traction in 2nd... Has no guts, blows coal, doesn't even think about abusing the clutch anymore... Just generally shite...
New engine hopefully being removed this weekend... So it's rebuild time!
But remember, that's over 2 years and 30k miles of pretty much double stock power... Considering I that's a 100% stock engine, nothing has been changed apart from the turbo and pump, I rekon that's pretty impressive. And all I've probably done is buckled the rods slightly and destroyed the head gasket... If anyone hit double stock power in a 100% stock petrol, they'd be more than expecting head gasket and rod problems...
Doesn't sound too good mate? Thought it went really well when I was down in LobbLand! Mind you that was a while ago!
What have you done to the new engine?
