Turbo Mini Forums

Okie dokie, I dont know if you remember but back in october i blew up my engine. I think built a new engine (used old parts such as pistons and bottom end, in a recon block and i bought a new head/rockers and cam.

I had head gasket problems ever since i built it back in november - to this date i have covered about 30 miles on the new engine!! (the car is now no longer my everyday car)

Anywho, last week i got it sorted!! 3 and a half months late!!!

It turned out to be a completely knackered torque wrench drastically under torquing!!

Now i just have a few minor issues (detailed in the technical help section),

For pics of the new engine/blown up engine check out:

ps. Why am i now just sumpnut, where has my little description gone?

I belive it was "amature mechanic"

I need something to separate me from all the new users that have appeared!!!! Remember i have been here from the day the site came online!!!!

Hows that mate?

Glad you've got the engine nearly sorted, blaming your tools....

Yea, if truth be told it was kinda my fault, i really should have realised how lose the bolts were (about 15 pounds if not less!!!!!)

And how do i get a little picture/moving figure next to my name??

Is that the avatar URL link in the settings menu??

Yeah, get that to read a working link and it should be fine.

It takes some getting used to when your not tightening bolts all day long to realise how they should "feel".
