well iv stipped the engine down and i know the reason why this happened in the end and it ent pretty


was the 1st sign of something wrong after i took the head off, thats Cyl. 4

heres the matching head
after i pulled the block off the box i was met by this....

wasnt a good sign
so....the pistons

top ring split in 2 pieces, not good for compression really
Piston 2 was ok though

nice crack in the ring land! not good really
brings me onto piston 4, it was even a pain removing it from the block

1st bit i laid my eyes on...then...

ohhh cr*p...thats where the deposits on the bore came from! not pretty, no top ring at all
theres also scraping on the otherwise of the piston like the 1st from cyl. 4...guess through not beign supported by the rings
so, now i got annoyed at wiring so its all out now, completly empty...ish

what a mess

still horrible!

and empty!

the nasty mess which was my loom, even taking it apart iv realised alot of wires werent even being used
so plans...my engine is down at southam mini and metro centre at the moment, not sure when its going to be ready due to circomstances... anyway ill be buying a new FG dash soon enough, a 2nd hand loom then its time for be to get butchering, got most of it planned out now. additions include
mega jolt

my acewel ignition from Herb.
internal blade fusebox mounted to the dash front
alot of wires will need extending due to how im routing the loom, going to be done as neat as i can because i LOVE it when its all neat, going to be in convoluted tubing, planned out so tubes are taught n neat looking.
about time i got round to sorting the last bodge on the car, should be good when its done

got the dash almost planned out
engines also getting a baffle tray in the gearbox, looks absolutly smint unfitted though lol
comments welcome
