I was in a rush and had to have a motor in the car regarless of where it leaked. And someday i will tak eit out and fix the problem or build another and put that in instead. But thats alot of headache you could avoid with an hour of work.
    Noted. Thanks for the advice everybody, you've convinced me. Since I'm replacing every other gasket, I might as well do the lower timing cover and while im in there the guide rails.

      If it was fully built back in '04 then that's a different story. I - somehow- thought it had gone through the fire back when it was near-new and it had only logged minimal miles since then.

      I didn't suggest you change the rods as they are a quite different part compared to bearings & rings. Rings & bearings are two of the biggest wear items in the bottom-end of an engine and will cop an absolute flogging when mods are added and the engine used in a more enthusiastic manner.

      On a 5 year-old motor they won't need replacing but, as i said above, I thought this motor was a lot older than that.

        I'd still pull the pistions out and take a look at the rings and bearings. It's better to be safe then sorry.

            Why would you press post on this. If it was a 'never mind' then why didn't you just close the page?

            I'm not retarded, you're trying to make a suttle joke I won't catch.

              cant believe the forum is actually trying to convince Andrew to do more for a change.

              I thought the game plan based on previous work something along the lines of this...

                          Why are you and half the other people on this board such assholes? Really.

                          I'd like to continue posting with updates, but comments like these make me want to proceed on in secrecy which is fine by me.

                              This has to be one of my favorite threads on the board. I'm rebuilding an m20 with 139k on it.

                              So you can just replace the piston rings, no Machining necessary? I'll do this then.
