my corsa project
Posted: Wed Aug 23, 2006 8:04 pm
seems as i killed it thought id log the progress of the rebuild. pics to date:
As most of you are probably aware (news travels fast) the corsa died today, not sure of the damage but heres some pics of the paint work:
happened with jamie driving, my boss, down the curvy bit (crainer curves?) at donnington, just unlucky really, engine has done 11k now so its time was near done
went thud, dropped oil over tyres track etc, we lost it rather specially at 110mps ish, ended up on the grass, a scooby on slicks following at a fast pace lost it on my oil and skimmed past, lucky escape for all really!
anyway on the tow back to the pits we have decided on a new engine spec, watch this space for more pics and development on the new engine
wish me luck
what wheres my piston and rod:
why is there 2 holes in the block?
is this my sump cooling system?
thats a big hole:
is this fixable!:
found a bit of my piston or rod:
something that fell out:
the 4 bent valves:
guides are still ok tho so thats ok
1 mashed combustion chamber:
exhaust port on my head:
flowed inlet:
inlet with trimmed guides etc:
the head has 3 stage seats and the valves have 2 stage seats.
the head is forsale, it will be fully repaired, would reuse it but im going to get another head done differently so its easier to start fresh!
comes with cams etc!
