controversial lol

 

[geraldo-46]

had some free time today so got some of the more tedious jobs about the block done
cleaning out all the treads in the block so i am lol

very important to clean and lubricate the mains bolts and threads to make sure you get the correct torque onto the main bearings.
piston oil jets feed and threads. again its very important to clean the old loctite out of and replace with new. you don not want 1 of these coming loose

yes every ****ing thread in the block cleaned :L

its doing my head in waiting on parts

 

[geraldo-46]

well today i done a big brake conversion on my daily hack lol took the brakes of the rallye and stuck them on the derv

dandable stopping oul yock now lol

anyways on to the more serious stuff set about putting the crank back in the block
started by cleaning all the bearing carriers and mating surfaces with 1200 grit to make them nice and clean

then fitted the oil jets, loctite and torqued

then test fitted bearings

happy with that it was time to fit the for real and set the crank in
lube lol

put the caps on and torque up the bolts. making sure the bolts were lubed at under the head and on the threads

final torque is measured by angle of rotation

job done.. just to check the end float which should be between .07-0.35

0.25 :thumb:
just waiting on my pistons and head comming back now
and you's up-to-date

 

[geraldo-46]

new powerflex lower engine mount came today

fitted

 

[Stuart]

where has this been hiding? good work theres a mount on the bay at the minute to mount the 16v into the s1, looks well made

 

[geraldo-46]

santa came earlier and left off this

supersprint 4-2-1 lovelyness

 

[Sergi Bmw]

Nice 106 these wee buggers are very fun to drive!

 

[Lee A]

ooo yes supersprints are the job

 

[Boss Of Gloss]

brilliant build i bought a 421 supersprint before there the job brand new then once on... change colour nice, just watch were the 4 pipes connect to the 2... mines leaked so i just got a lip of weld to seal it shut

 

[geraldo-46]

got the head back today so i did...

inlet porting

exhaust porting

combustion chamber re-working

as usual im still waiting on bits... thottlebodies pistons rods etc

 

[Simon998]

Please tell me you're mating that supersprint to a 2" outward rolled pugsport?

Look's fantastic and make's me miss my Series 1 rallyé, It was only 130bhp and was a complete hoot to drive, this should be awesome. My s2 had a 16v conversion and I always wondered what it would have been like in the S1 shell.

 

[geraldo-46]

i am indeed fortunately the pugsport came on the car lol.

ive had a few gti's and vts's and completely fell in love with how they drive im hoping the s1 will be on another level

exedy clutch came today which is another part off the list

on closer inspection the clutch is marked AP. which im very hAppy about because AP make some top notch shizzle

 

[Lee A]

love love love it

 

[Stuart]

any progress? are you over sizing your rings, or have you just honed them a bit? where did you get a head set from?

 

[martybelfastsri]

great build and thread!!

 

[geraldo-46]
