The engine was built by hitec 2nd hand but was bought by Bob of GTiR before sold onto me.
I'm considering a breakdown dissamble party maybe when the weather is fairer.
No immediate plans beyond finding out how much of the internals is salvageable.

Well looks like more than a rebuild, frames 33 to 40 confirming a hole from the block. If my orientation thinking is correct in this wobbly vid done blindly with my phone.
frame 33
frame 40
Think I'll be stopping my insurance and refund on the tax disc pretty soonish. She's not going to...
The other was an old gearbox sensor which they also forgot to take out.
I tried starting the engine but didn't sound like its usual turning. More swishes than expected but also does not help have a flat battery.

It was some insulation covering they must have forgotten to put back on one of the oil pipes to the turbo. Since the block vibrates a lot it was supposed to cushion the pipe from its surroundings

When is this Guildford meet 2 wks on the 15th?? Should be okay for then.
It's not the most anyone's had.
I've heard someone had 700 but oddly never been a member of the forum.
He apparently goes through quite a few driveshafts.
Not much to report, hopefully after the remapped new engine is complete it'll be the magic 400bhp I set out to get when I started.
More concerned about the MOT though - always seems to be a black hole of extras.
