The words I would use are u mate the pistons to the block , loving this build , I started a 500bhp build on a 2.0 zetec turbo , to put in a Escort rs2000 4x4 , with a cossie body kit , I got a few stages on from this , and ended up selling the lot for pennies due to my 1st daughters birth , she’s 15 now , I did get to bring her home from the hospital in the car but sold it all shortly after , some local bloke who had a mondeo 4x4 acquired most of it , gr8 content

Cracking video Adam. The sad fact is though, people with the skills of Gordon are a dying breed, not many youngsters these days wanting to get their hands dirty. They all want to leave school and be professional footballers or managing directors. I work for a company that makes Manipulators for foundries "Impressive bits of kit" and we struggle to get Mechanical and Electrical fitters. Getting a decent apprentice is a bit of a struggle too.

Curious what you would do if the previous rebore was bad and out of alignment with the crank - so offset slightly but perpendicular. Or if the block had been bored not perpendicular. The 2nd rebore could get back to perpendicular but it would be offset relying on the first rebore. Love the vids btw.
@Adam151082
@Adam151082 Жыл бұрын
The bores will always be true and straight due to locating off the bottom face, the only thing that could be out is the spacing between the bores. But the spacing between the bores will be taken up by tolerance built into the rods and pistons I assume. It's a great question though and I’ll ask Gordon when I see him 👍🏼
@carrotandturnip
@carrotandturnip Жыл бұрын
@@Adam151082 totally agree. Spacing and alignment. If previously bored askew the rebore is picking up off the top of the bore. But will be now perpendicular.
