Corsigra Build

[JamieTee_]

As Johnny said it's the 1.2 16v bud, but yeah I know where your coming from with that actually mate, with the mileage and hearing it run side of things, it's a hmm thing now.

I got my info from the net 1.2-1.6 conversion, it's on a website called smallblockxe.com if that's any help?

For 60pound you cant really go wrong though can you you would get it for 50. Its just the hassle of fitting it if its f*cked.

Time is money though so take it 2 hours to fit then an hour to remove another to refit old engine, couple hours to get another and another 2 to refit

That is an added 6 hours to an original 2 hour job so to me that is about a potential 300 quid not earned so therefore wasted, but I'm hardwired to think money so it may just be me

[stanc3w0rks]

Now that's a good way to look at things

[johnny]

It's the only way to think if you work in trade industry

In a trade your paid for what you do and if I fit a bad engine that I supplied then I've sunk 8 hours work of labour and can only charge for 2

Obviously this doesn't apply if it's for yourself but I'd still feel like I missed on a potential 6 hours worth of time on something I'd get paid for

I have some bad news I think the cambelt has broken!!

[johnny]

If you didn't crank it, it might still be ok

Why do you think cambelt

[steviebuggy]

I did crank it, no nasty noises tho I'm hoping that's good? Definitely belt because after I separated the cam cover it wasn't there hahaha

[steviebuggy]

What will I need to fix corsigra? Or am I better off getting a new cylinder head and belt?

[johnny]

Best thing to do is strip the head off and see if your valves are mashed

If they are new head and belt as long as the pistons aren't too damaged

If not new belt and should fire straight up

[steviebuggy]

Cheers I'll get going tomorrow then. I'm not looking forward to this hahaha

[steviebuggy]

[steviebuggy]

[steviebuggy]
