they were my own pistons, and a mig member agreed to press the rodds off, get pistons machined, re-fit rods and post back with new rings and shells. Stated 2 week turnaround, that was mid jan. Cheque sent in box with pistons cleared from my account on 30th jan.Originally Posted by Benn
Oh. Have you have contract with him?
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
That really sucks tbh.
I think I've said to name & shame before, but it could result in NEVER seeing the stuff again. Piss taker!
it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS
if you look hard enough you'll work out who it is.
gary doesnt want to name him, which i understand really.
now and then he replys texts, speaks on msn. but its all excuses, and building my hopes back up.
I just want them back so i can get the car built for pv
Tell him you want them back now matter how they are, then go else where.. and name and shame him.

Gary going to sort your issue out today mate for you and ill let you know how i get on
no need for the name and shame.
ill be honest, yes its has taken quite abit longer than gary, definately i had hoped for.
the parts have been sent 100%. some of the problem was waiting for pistons to be pressed off, i was working 5on/5off and had collapsed so by time id sent pistons, go down to see if pressed off, and finding out they hadnt, it would be another 5 days, then back in work, then waiting for machine shop to make jig, machine, etc, and let down agen, then pressed back on, etc. then i got ****ed about with mate getting parts. then due to costing alot more than what was originally thought, and having hardly any extra £££ it took a bit longer to pay for bits.
but rest assured:
pistons, shells, rings, c16xe loom and ecu all been sent.
SHOCK HORROR! They arrived today!
I dont know who machined them, but in all honesty i could have done better myself with a vertical head mill (if i had access to one)
Anyway thats the engine built back up, hopefully make a start fitting it 2moro. pics/update on sunday or monday.
i'll come out tomoro afternoon gary.
SSSSSSWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if your still coming over on saturday mate ive got the template for the carbs somewhere in my garage, failing that i will make a new one as its just a few minutes to whack the manifold off anyway
So they're are crap then?
Sorry to hear that dude.
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
bit of a bummer that, all that time away and they arent up to expectations, how do you think it will run with them anyway mate
