V8skylineMAN Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 1st pic is the v8 short motor just after i removed it from the engine bay( i only just thought of takin pix at this stage) 2nd is the empty engine bay....lots of room hey 3rd is one stripped and cleaned cylinder head 4th is the inlet port, nicely cleaned up... 5th is inlet port from valve side ..... the plan was just to give the cylinders a hone, fit the new rings, bearings, cam and lifters, reseat the valves and throw it all back in, but....

V8skylineMAN Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 number 7 bore is far too pitted and scored(pic 1 and 2) to hone out, so the block has to be sent to Trapnell Race Engines to be bored out another 20 thou(total of 60) dammit, now i need to take the rings back and get bigger ones,AND buy pistons....not happy jan. pics 3 and 4 are the valve spring compressor i made, because the one that i bought bent when i tried to use it. Damn aftermarket double valvesprings. meh......to be continued.....

Bekkyboop Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Trapnell ahahahaha.............. your going to be waiting a while, they have taken 2 years with my bros engine so far and it still isnt done.Hope it all turns out well tho. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They did the heads for it and we didnt wait for too long. They have been pretty good actually which is nice. Rang them just before to get the quote to bore out the head for jase and they told me 1-2 days and they will have it done by the end of the week. We have been told that they can be alittle slow, but so far so good for us, which is lucky, cause we need the v8 running asap Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/87298-picture-thread-for-c210-v8-rebuild/#findComment-1580380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then i put the block in on wednesday to be bored and have the new pistons fitted to the rods......picked it up on friday, all work completed. All work was done by the time he said it would be ready. I will definately be going back there. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/87298-picture-thread-for-c210-v8-rebuild/#findComment-1592034 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bekkyboop Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Ok cause Jase has been alittle slack ill add a quick non-pic update. On sunday we seated the valves (i did one of the heads and im rather proud of myself), finished the heads off and now the motor is looking more like it should. Fingers crossed that today we might be able to get the motor in!

This is as Jase was painting the sump in our infamous Kermit Green... fun afternoon with the paint cans nozzle being poo and annoying jase. In the end it looked good tho.
