1100 bulletproof..

[DomMINIque]

So my box of tricks had some bits for this car as well.

So i took the head off the motor that came with the car. One of the intake valves had been left open and some water got into one of the bores. There is slight rust on the top of the piston and on the bore. However the piston still moves up and now in the bore.
Based on thd fact that the block now needs to go into engineering and we can't gett 1100 pistons anymore I've opted for a different direction on this build.

So in my box of tricks from the UK the following arrived:
Evo water pump
Slot drive turbo oil pump
Hiff turbo rebuild/conversion kit
Rear brake slave cylinders
Unleaded valve seats.

To be continued....
