cheers lads,iv always wanted askyline so i wasnt going to give it up without a fight lol
Right the bottom end spun a bearing and marked the crank so brought it to ESL in laneborough who took .5mm of the crank and had it polished.i think the engine was donated from a 33gtr as it had the long nosed oil pump drive.
added a new n1 oil pump,acl bearings,new rings from erics performance in america.i dont have any pics of the build up sorry:(
heres the nearly finished lump

since the guides were in bad shape due to wear,the valve seats suffered as a result.so got a set of valve guides from erics performance again.sent the head of to corcorans in castlebar (engine-re) who pushed in the guides,machined all the shims,reseated the valves and lapped them in.
again sorry for lack of pics
