Awesome work going on here mate. Love those massive brake rotas.
On another note, how hard is it to strip and rebuild an engine. I see so many people on here pulling engines apart and can't help but feel slightly intimidated by it. I shouldn't really as I have all the required Tools and at least the basic skills but can't help feeling like I'd make a massive balls of it.
What I'm basically saying is, should I rip my h22 apart like you have and set about building something awesome or should I just Pay someone else to do it.

if you have the cash - pay someone. if you lack cash but have time/can make time and dont mind doing over a reasonable period of time - do it yourself.farlow wrote:Awesome work going on here mate. Love those massive brake rotas.

Cool, I guess time is the key here then. I could work with that, I have most of the parts already and I'm not expecting my lude back on the road any time in the next few years so maybe I should just do it.
Ps Sorry Phil for hijacking your thread but thanks for potentially inspiring me to attempt an engine build.

Good work phil, though i am slightly disapointed that you didn't wait 3 weeks and update it exactly 2 years since your last one. Still who am i to criticise

i'm aiming for it not to spray it internals all over the dyno/tuner/roof of the dyno, anything more is a bonusMerlin wrote:Great stuff. Big power Na! Are you shooting for 300bhp?
