THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!
Engine is broken! Took the head off, one of the pistons is rolling around inside it's cylinder, it's obviously been run, blown, then had some twat put new valves in the head and part bolted it together!
never had a need to turn it over first time i bought it as it would have been sent back to the Scottish oil rig worker who i got it from if it hadn't of turned (i know, hind sight blah blah blah), the cams can't turn properly either,
looking back i should have given it a turn instead of listening to the bull that was now given, but that was years ago when all the time wasting started, bit late to go get my money back and the engine obviously has not been wired and plumbed in and run since i have had it, got a guy looking into it now, so this has put me back a fair bit, i was toying with the idea of a Saab turbo lump with the R25/28 box, but waiting for a rebuild price on this boat anchor 1st!
I can't see any pics including latest ones

My payment to photobucket has run out, lasted all of 3 weeks! Will take some pics next week, due to take it to a chap in Basildon, he will give me a price on a rebuild plus a bore too. got to weigh up the cost of this compared to another red-top, or maybe a Saab? because of all the work that's gone into the preparation regarding prop, chassis mounts, gearbox mount and positioning etc etc, i need to replace it with the same type engine....... watch this space
now looking for the washer bottle, A rear bumper & front lights, finally getting there!
lights, bumper & washer bottle all done, missing washer jets !!!
had to modify the anti dive bracket to allow for the oil pipes in order to get all 3 brackets bolted in place, going to try and stick some pic's up!
Use the Turbosport Uploader
Big Wing sold and gone to be a film star
That looks as straight as an arrow!
Been a while, had so many problems! lots more spent, the car itself is complete, the engine i finally bought needed more work, but it's coming together now, went for a more expensive ecu, full rebuild etc.... after the engine is back in, a retune, and it goes up for sale, lost my mojo good and proper! Quite happy tearing up the tarmac on 2 wheels now, shouldn't be too long before i advertise the car properly, VAUD escort mk2 4 door ... makes sense...part Ford part Vauxhall.
will update this once i can get back home and post a few up to date photo's.
Engine is finally finished, no thanks to yet another letdown over lockdown! Just needs to be put back in, will go in underneath with box attached, Engine is being delivered to the garage this evening,
watch the for sale section.
