think considering it will be just the bottom end, i might spill those before i end up getting the heads on.

 

Ok next, on a serious note please guys. what else will i need. my car is currently sat out the back of my house costing me money to keep it there so need to get this done sooner rather than later.

Are you doing anything to the crank..polishing the journals ect. Iff you are then to get the oil pump off you will need to remove the bottom timing belt pully and unless you can drill 2 M6 holes and run a tap down them for a puller then 9 times out of 10 they need cutting off so put this item in the budget.

Lightweight pulley set!

 

Core Plugs!

I sent him a PM, so while waiting on his reply, thought id ask on here as well. really want my car back on the road, fed up of driving a honda around lol

Still waiting for vtec to kick in then lol

I think if i hadnt been driving around in the zed for so long, i might actually realise when it does kick in yo! but its just so sluggish and well slow, even my little boy who is only 4 turned around and said "its not very fast is it daddy" LOL

 

i will give it one thing though, it lasted a week and 3 days on half a tank of fuel before needed a garage, something the zed wouldn't have done lol

ahhh jim knows his stuff big time so thers your answer...thought you was doing the job Ian:winkiss:

You won't know exactly what you will need till he tears it down bud, the bearings etc will have to be brought to spec after the crankvetc has been machined and checked. I'm sure he will go through it all with you very soon and then the ball can start rolling.

The engine i have in the black zed is strong, im thinking of buying a bottom end and getting that one built while this other engine is still in the car, the one in the car at present isnt knocking or anything like that, im just down 2 cylinders due to fouled spark plugs and its smoking out the rear, tried to do a compression test on it, but the bloody compression tested ended up leaking so need to get another doh! miss the old girl already though
