redmex Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 well like it a lot more once its not a poobag 1600 lolyou're soo right.. its gutless, but ill b starting to check the 2 litre head over in a mo.. Project 2000 is starting sort of lol The head is stripped and checked out very serviceable It's flat, no cracks, just needs a decoke and valve grind I've got 16 new lifters for it so head will b good to run soon.. Thanks to Bongo, top man for the healthy well packaged head no probs mate,it only done a few thousand after i had it skimmed (7 thou) and i fitted new valve stem seals. That explains it being very flat then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmex Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Is this just gonna be a tidy 2.0 or is it gonna be built up with a bit of ooomph?For now just a fresh rebuilt 2 litre lump will perk up driving fun. Later thinking of turbo, but its a q of what comes along for sensible money. As Scott says, its my roadcar so reasonable economy and drivability count for now.
