No#2 rebuild.[Tufftride Engine]
Not as many pics as the first.
the engine block and internal componants where tufftrided for this rebuild, note the black colour isnt dirty gunky oil but the is the colour that the metal turns to when tufftrided.
i thought the block looked really good when this was done+plus of also having the benefit of not having to paint it. the block will now no longer rust.

Maybe that limit needs upping then, 100 sounded like a lot at the time !
Raj, increased to 200

i loved this engine and was going to fit it in my current 5 but money troubles forced me to sell all my rebuilds,i did all 3 one after another.
The finish of the block looks good, if i ever decide to rebuild a lump ill have to copy
you will need to fit a new core plug[small alloy one just below the camshaft core plug] as tufftriding dizzolves alloy.The finish of the block looks good, if i ever decide to rebuild a lump ill have to copy

Mate your engine builds are bloody amazing, I've never seen anyone put so much effort into not only making it work perfectly but also look fantastic, top work

i think thats been my problem. i take FAR TOO MUCH pride in rebuilding engines. i go abit anal over cleanliness and the rest
just be careful of the oil galleries Raj, the salt can get in and block them up!!
yes mate your right
after any chemical process i have done,no matter what it be(depending on part treated), i firstly have it chemically washed (unsure of the process,i let me mate get on with it) i then pressure wash and lastly steam clean. that does the tricklike i said,i go abit anal on making sure things are clean.
Wouldn't worry about it dude, your builds are a credit to you, if I bought 1 of your engines I would buy you a beer cus there top qualityi think thats been my problem. i take FAR TOO MUCH pride in rebuilding engines. i go abit anal over cleanliness and the rest
thanks bud
youve got other members doing far more up to date newer exotic rebuilds which i wouldnt have a clue about
lets just hope the hylomar on the bottom of the liners doesnt get attacked by the oil....
always use silicone sealant mate
this was the only build i used hylomar, on the rest i used a smear of silicone sealantlets just hope the hylomar on the bottom of the liners doesnt get attacked by the oil....
always use silicone sealant mate
to be honest there really wasnt that much hylomar after id wiped the excess off(not shown in the pics) i dont know why i used hylomar back then as i hate the stuff
i once fitted sump on with the stuff....not to be recommended.
it went green and brittle after a week.
LOL hylomar = sump. no wayhow did you manage that one mark? im sure with your experience your aware that the stuff stays soft
it was on my own car, the only thing i had with me. thought i'd try it....
it didnt work....
