V4 Essex [3 out of 4 ain't bad!]

Postby Thunderforge » Fri Jul 11, 2014 2:08 pm

Hi I'm back on track for the first time in ages...

After towing the van into town I finally took the sump off... two sheared bolts, lots of shattered shell, one big-end and... a small chunk of piston skirt!

So... to get her running I'll either need one new set piston/con-rod/big-end, or preferably a set of four, and depending on extra damage, maybe a new crankshaft and engine block.

Any suggestions chaps? :D

Solution? - Luck! A gentleman I know locally has sold me his V4 Petrol 2l engine!

I shall post pictures of the forthcoming engine change...
