Ok time to set about repairing and rebuilding my pug after my urrrr previous attempt.
sooo what 'appened was...
the gearbox went bang and as i was running kkk and Lucas pump and wanted to T2, bosch, front mount and hdi box it, i decided to swap the engine and all over from my donnor car eaassy uh, thats what i thought.......
With many unforeseen difficulties, lack of transport and trying to hold down a job. it was long and tedious process.
eventually had it running ishh but then there was the problems with the pump got that bench tested and set still not running right, it was leaking all sorts annd the turbo turned out to be fairly on its way out so thought F*** it. time for a new car...
i found my self a stage 2 307 great.... for about a week till the turbo went bang.
now got fez
which has done me greatly so far. its nice to be back in a petrol although fuel economy a joke but unfortunately its allot of fun.....
My plans.
got some HDI rods and shells although ive only got 7
they look OK would it be wrong to use a shell from my old engine to replace the missing one? are they the same?
Turbo also turned up £90 which I think I'm quite happy with although it is a recon. there seams to be tiny tiny bit of shaft play but then every used turbo ive check has abit....
Started stripping the engine and well welll well
firstly the clutch
this may have been the problem which originally caused it to go although i havent looked inside the actual gear housing
further digging and it got even worse
it seems the cam belt must of slipped causing the inlet valves to hit the pistons as they started induction
all the pistons had varying amounts of damage. so looks like they're being replaced. As with the valves.
Further more a couple of the pre-chambers had been cracked
guessing these can be popped out and replaced
Final find
abit of wear on two of the cylinder walls
sooo looks like its gunna be abit more work then expected hmmm

My plans.
- Strip down and rebuild my original engine.
- HDI Rods
- Garrett GT2056s
- Possibly ARP's (yay or nay)
- Oil cooler
- New springs and shocks (suggestions)
- Nimrods
- Good new tyres
- Bright bulbs (Osrams or HIDs)
- New wheel bearings all round
- Weld the massive whole in front wheel arch
- Lower the axle a touch more
- And a general tidy up
