IT'S GOT AN ENGINE!! It won't start at the moment but it's turning over.
It's a 180 engine (Not the one I was working on the cylinder head of). Cams have been swapped out for the Newman Cams I had in ... |

I bought a standard EW10J4 cylinder head th ... |

While the head was stripped I thought I might as well spend some time DIY port and polishing. This is definitely a mild attempt, basically focusing on knife-edging the split and polishing the walls to ... |

This week I had the cams checked by Newman. Turns out they are basically 306 gti-6 Ph2 spec, 264* duration, 10.66mm lift. They think they can be repaired, so that would be good. Strangely enough, I bo ... |

Within weeks of the engine blowing up I'd bought a 180 engine off Ebay, complete with inlet and exhaust manifolds, starter, alternator and PS pump. Manifolds to be sold, the rest are useful spares.

And the bad? The Newman cams were damaged when the lifters disintegrated. I ... |
