Very wide but very short, came out pretty easy suprisingly, looks an intresting strip, you leave the pistons in the bores and split the block with the conrods left on the crank. Theres allan bolts on the side of the block which lets you remove the gudgeon pins in position

Yes my lads is just back from mot and investigation work. We bought a duff closed deck replacement engine so here we are 6 months later and a total of £2,900 invested in a car that has come home minus engine and boxes full of parts, nuts & bolts. Guess who's about to do his first scooby rebuild?
Get on scooby net fella on there just done a big spec rebuild. Apparently you leave two pistons and rods in one side and remove gudgeon pins from the other two via inspection holes so when you part the blocks two halves, the crank comes out with two attached to their rods and the other two stay in the bores with the rods just dangling.
Be warned, huge costs for gaskets. We got them all in our prices as above and hopefully can sell on the closed deck block.

A while since the last update, to cut a long story short, the guys fucked me over and i've been left to sort it myself. So a few months on and the last bits are being ordered tomorrow
What's getting done I hear you ask? Well not messing about, getting new crank, acl bearings, new con rod, cosworth head gaskets, uprated 12mm super duper oil pump, new modine, stainless exhaust manifold and up pipe, new timing belt kit and a few other bits, magnetic sump plug and shiney bits pics to follow shortly
