Damage to DEP update 27/9

[DEP]

As some of you know, I blew my cossie powered escort up earlier in the year at round 2 of the OSFDC, Because FOE was coming back, DEP got pushed into the garage and forgotten about ,

Anyway as i have this week off, i thought it was time to assess the damage,

So off came the head, and this is what i found

Looks like number 2 piston has had it

Bits of piston

The piston

And i thought it was just my heavy right foot

[BIG G]

One new piston and bobs ya uncle. the bore looks ok in the pic

[SmokeEm]

Yeah, bore looks ok - chuck a new piston in n see how she goes

[Fiesta Steve]

Hows the cylinder head ?

[DEP]

Have nt checked properly yet m8, cant see anything obvious, but im sure there s a bent valve in there or 2 , Got a friend popping round in the week to have a proper look at it for me

[zetecmk2]

you need to find out the cause....or u will melt the new piston

head came off easy then

why the head's off, check the valve seating using thinners or spirit wipe poured in the upside down combustion chamber....unless you don't need to because the valves are like bananas!!

[zetecmk2]

good minds and all that!!!

[turnover]
