Rebuilding my turbos after they got contaminated oil run through them. Luckily no damage and on a pre assembly they spin freely now.

wouldn't think so as its just a polish to the areas that come into contact with the bearings Not enough material would come off in my opinion.

Thanks, I've coated it with oil for the moment and i'll order up some emery cloth. ?

So when i dismantled the bottom end a few months ago i mistakenly left the crank exposed. Over the last few months its gained some surface oxidisation which easy came off with a cloth and wd40. Will i need to replace this or get is professionally polished again ? There is no pitting or scratches that i can feel although you can see discolouration in a few areas.

Finally started to strip and clean everything on my engine. The main block has been stripped for a while but it was time for the heads to be done. Removed all the retainers, springs and valves and gave everything a good clean. To protect the cams they are steeping in a bath of oil until they are ready to go back in. All the cam caps and valves have been carefully placed so that they also go back in the proper order.

Lol, Posted that as you by accident, seems to work ok.

done

Surprised they haven't thought about doing it electric. Also the two different articles show two radically different designs the second of which looks like something ford or renault would come up with.

Since its easter the big kids were out in play today.

Garry, any reason you deleted your own thread?

I think after you map all the connections into what is likely a small ecu in those clocks everything would be mapable.

I'm glad they quoted the club name properly. ?

Not a sales pitch at all and i apologise if it seemed that way. At the time i posted it was simply easier for me to reply direct on the club forum. i will email you separately regarding your query.

Did they hit it with a hammer first.

Belated happy birthday, Hope you had a good day.

It does but its just a huge and expensive paper weight.

Its House of Kolors paint in of course Purple. So the engine issues spans originally back to 2015 when it blew up on my old zed, I stupidly used the same plenum because it was highly polished on my new build without checking that it was 100% internally cleaned. The result was debri or what i would call shrapnel metal which remained in the old engine components got sucked back through the air intake and damaged the engine, aswell as that i had a failed open injector which gave me washed bores Washed down oil mixed with fuel caused my turbos to cease too. The whole thing was a huge dominoes effect. I still have all the components and the engine has been stripped down to the block but to trust the build again would require every components to be surgically cleaned and reassembled which at the moment i cannot afford.

Must be from the camera, i checked other pictures in the same position and they all have it. Maybe the lense is refracting light at the nose panel.

Due to my extreme bad luck in engines recently i've kind of been ignoring the zed as i don't want to feel any worse than i do by thinking about it to much but that being said the cover has been off and parts lying about that there was a layer cake of dust and other contaminants that could have spoiled the overall paintwork. So today with the help of my wifes car we hauled her out of the garage for a reassembly and thorough clean. Afer a scale and polish she makes my proud again to say i own her - minus an engine for now.

Few pics of the one i got from zcentre

I had a set of zcentre front wings years ago and we had issues with the fitment. What i found is that the panels when fitted were too stretched looking and that we had to glue blocks of wood to the inside centre of the wing. After that the fitment was fine.
