Ahhh, so its you hey, I seen this 32 sitting out the back of the workshop, though it was dumped so I stripped it, LOL.

What was the verdict, piston ?

cheers guys ill hit those workshops up and see what they can do, what sorta price range to do the rebuild for yas?

lol, its still insured mate so can u take the whole thing, I put it in the shed out back if ur still lookin for it haha

ahh got the head off yesterday and its got damage to the piston in the valve clearance, looks sorta pitted, still doesnt really explain 0 compression though, have to check the rings now.

hmm the pitting is on both valve reliefs and the valves look ok.... ive come with the terms that i want a forged rebuild and im goin to put some decent power through it anyway, in additon the engine was put together like crap, done 12,000kms since the build and its got oil leak, loose bolts, rust on the inlet cam lobes... just a rubbish job and im not puttin 600hp through it casue it wont last lol

croydon racing.

they might be abit more expensive but i wouldnt trust anyone else. quality of work and attention to detail is amazing.

they built my 26 (600 hp) and havnt had a single problem and they were extremley helpful through out the whole build which was a year ago now.

u dont want sum1 who is just going to slap the engine together and send you on your way

This is another one where people need to refer to THIS...

There are too many people with varying experiences at different workshops, so the best bet is to make a few calls or visits to workshops YOU'VE got in mind and make up YOUR OWN decision based on how comfortable YOU are with the information YOU'VE been given.

    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
