Bit of update phot and car pornI love ebay
JRP Looking good matey, you going for OE rod's or H rods now matey to compliment the forged pistons and steel liners??
Not sure.. the rods are very expensive, and im sure the standards fit dont they? and they are relitivly strong..?? hmmm what to do what to do
they lookgood old ebay
£430 quid all inthey look
£430 quid all in
thats a good price
All you need to do now is check the liners are a perfect circle£430 quid all in
Explain? liners dont bother me to much he did them free with the pistons.All you need to do now is check the liners are a perfect circle
But never the less explain
Haha i cant remember who told me now, but someone bought some liners and they needed extensive honing etc as they weren't perfect circles.
Just some free advice and could possibly save you alot of agro
If you got them free though, then your already on a winner.. Also something else to consider is what rings your going to run. Hope this helps.
Nice one
i'll check the liners out at the machine shop, i need special rings for the liners though nik somthing or other ?? any suggestions? or would the ones that come with the pistons suffice?
tbh i think it was the mecca car parts ones, but could of been the gay-tech ones.. Damn my memory is getting bad lol..
That will be nickercil (spelling) .. I run total seal ones, but then they are a bit hit and miss with sealing.. I think some people just run standard rings.. All you've got to remember is 1 of the surfaces has the bed into the other, so something has to give
where do i gt nicercil ones from then
where do i gt nicercil ones from then
You can get the ones you have got Nikasil coated, if they are the k-tec ones they are not coated, Total seal rings as Dave says re good with the teel liners, but from memory I think the wossner rings you have should be ok with the steel liners as that's what BBPT and K-tec used to sell with there kits
I'm not sure you can get them.. Nickercil is normally a coating found on the bores.. I got my rings through the guy who does alot of engine work for me.. I'd have to have a look at my paperwork to see where i bought them from as they come from the states via a uk distributer.where do i gt nicercil ones from then
I spoke to wossners direct and they said they would last?? But hey if people use then they must lol
Dave that would be good to know the part number for the Total Seal rings, as I have a set of Total Seals but lost the invoice and I need to replace 1 piston with ring's
Ohh these pistons could give an asprin a head ache... how much to get them coated? and for decent rings?
standard liners might be easier..
I think Philr5t is using the wossner rings in his engine

What you need to think about is what you actually want out of the engine and what you want it to do
james i'm not sure there was a past number as all you do is measure the ring depth and obviously size of piston and then they'll match it up.. I'll have a look round a some point though.
True true.. see how much power i can run... might as well lol
or sell the liners for silly money and buy other parts
Yeah I had to do that but i swear the invoice they sent me had a part number on itthis is going back a few years now though so my memory isn't what it was
We'll see pretty soon then if they last
Tbh my car was running 24ish psi + 60 to 70 horses of gas and the standard liners held up pretty damn well.. Didn't like the 100 shot thoughhaha
Way i see it, i have them would be a shame not to utilise what i have.. dunno what id get for themTbh my car was running 24ish psi + 60 to 70 horses of gas and the standard liners held up pretty damn well.. Didn't like the 100 shot though
Get some of this for the build aswell matey
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tchlink:top:en
Exactly mate.. Just use them! I'm only trying to help out not scare you.. Its better to no the cost's/maintenance prior to fitting parts that you think will save rebuilds etc only to find out your having to replace stuff every 4k miles..Way i see it, i have them would be a shame not to utilise what i have.. dunno what id get for them
Well nw i no you got them free, i'll have them for free please haha joking.
Good stuff that.
Bought
Wasn't is Stu clark that had the Mecca part ones and said that they needed alot of honing before he was happy with the piston to bore clearancetbh i think it was the mecca car parts ones, but could of been the gay-tech ones.. Damn my memory is getting bad lol..

Advice pleeeease just looking at the pictures, if you look at the liners are 1 and 4 to far away from 2 and 3 i thought the sat up closer than they are.
Any advice welcome.
