another update.... finally things have started moving! the block i have stripped (first time on a 1.8!) and been sent to get bored and honed,
few things about the engine.....
- found pieces of metal in the pick up pipe!...
-on one of the piston rings it has broken into alot of small pieces... clearly not right!
-crank and bearings seem to be good condition. but managed to break one of the teeth of the sprocket so ordered a new one of them.
hopefully the bottom is geting rebuilt next week! and the plan is over chrismas put the engine back in!
cannot wait!!
