Yes it was doomed by a Muppet Machinst when it was bored and decked! He'd screwed a lifting jig into the Cam belt tensioner bolt hole which is directly in line with #1 cylinder, this pressed the bore in a bit they bored it and when he removed the jig it popped out and the bore had a 50c piece...

My old motor was a bit of a dog.......

I have my own fairly well equipped machine shop and would hesitate to do this for a few reasons. I bought a small roots type blower and when I got down to it to keep everything functional in a Mk3 leaves very minimal room to mount the blower and in the end the bang for the $ just wasn't there...

Tight AR Ball bearing Turbo, I have a GT30 with a .63ar I used to run on my old dog 7M and it made boost just about off idle no Lag.

Only the 6M crank has an ID mark. Top 7M crank Bottom 6M

86.5 by far ;)

High Powered NA? is this an Oxymoron? :) <jk> Take a look at Defiant 7M's build up if you're serious about getting power from an NA this is the way to go but it's always going to be a HUGE outlay of $$$ as there is little to no aftermarket for NA motors so going Turbo is the cheap option/best...

Wade Cams .351"/9mm lift 280 degrees duration 226@50thou Custom hard face welded and ground to my specs. If I were to do it again I'd go a bit more duration and lift as the 7M is quite forgiving and would still have good manners. It makes nice power to about 7000 then depending on boost will...

Micky: LOL the SST from memory is a curved piece of bar with a hollow end and a cut out that the tube sits in so you can tap it in with the other SST: FBH! (fucking big hammer) ;) Yep just drill a smaller pilot hole then drill to size it's hard but nothing a HSS drill won't cope with!

Mik: Yep! Kai: A 6:71 will freewheel if you break a belt and leak enough to keep running but yeah a bypass would work better/more drivable! Just not sure how everything else would handle/cope as at 5000 rpm they take 100+ hp to turn and that's a BIG load to hook up a mag clutch to! I...

Hardest part with building a GroupA replica pan would be the curved flange where it bolts to the rails, after that it's pretty straight forward. I was going to do this but a genuine one came on the market so I snapped it up.

Way to go guys! :)

<cracking up laughing here>

SH: a long time ago I had a car slip off the floor jack and pin me between it and the garage door, lucky for me the door bowed out enough that I wasn't hurt but ever since I'm double careful!

LMAO as gay as it is I had to do it ;)!

Nope ;)

Right back at her Steve! :)

I know ;)
