shaneo Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah was a bit of a dark day after finding that out. I have spent so much rebuilding the engine and looking at almost the same again just to get it running again depending on what we find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkoutnz Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have a cam at work (can't remember the specs of it bu tit's got more lift than my A3 cam) if you wanna chuck that in? I can get the markings off it tomorrow if you like and see if it's going to be of any use to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicklm Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Sucks to read about your engine, hope it gets sussed soon... At least that broken end will make a sweet paper weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Sucks to read about your engine, hope it gets sussed soon... At least that broken end will make a sweet paper weight! Working very actively on it want to take the car to Nats and track day but also need a new clutch now as well . New cam being made and should be ready and in Auckland mid week all going to plan. What seem like nothing to much at the drags is turning out to be a big deal.Its getting time to sell this one and start the next project Super keen to see what this engine can do around Hampton it used to do 130:50 on the old set up but it hasn't managed to run long enough to get a new time on this set up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of my favorite sports, and when everything falls into place will prob be one of the better set up ones too.. I cant wait to see what your new motor can do either! But I'm not the best person to listen too, I've owned the same escort for way to long now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Got a new one in the shed I want to start on . Nats track day will be fun but a scary test at the same time. Seems every time I take it out lately something breaks . There isnt much left to replace now . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
