Not crashy, not going to rust within a week or seize up and only £365 quid.


They are good, tempted to put some on my van.

block has been honed + decked
crank polished

was slightly 'sloped' as standard, so after me and lee worked out we needed 0.1mm deck the block, ended having to do it more!


cleaned all of block, cleaned oil galeriers,



crank fitted with new shells

then checked to make sure pistons didnt protuded the block! at both 1 + 4 0.25mm clearance - so all okay

now just need to get the piston cuts outs done, pistons balanced along with x16xe rods

shouldnt fit arp boltsto 1.8 rods, due to the design of the rods they only hold on a few threads. hence why i also changed rods
