Not really much happening. Annoyingly.
Some pics to keep comic readers happy.
Tidied up the VNT mechanism:

Next on list, mapping adjusted for VNT control as I messed that up... Cooling, more testing but likely a 240SX rad...
Brakes and rear beam...
Template for caliper mount which Tiggy will sort out....=

Also found 3 dead glow plugs.
May have cooling system under control too.
Here is to boost control and moar fuel
What was the results of compression test?
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 31-10-2017
3 cylinders around 350psi. One cylinder at 250psi.
Tiggy' tested an 8v stock untouched HDi... 350psi on all 4 cylinders.

Only just looked at tge thread again. Those wheels look ace!!!!!! Really suit the build
Dont even dare compression test my engine. Just gonna give up and get on building a fresh lump, tom hortons very kindly sorted direct fitting arps for me just to go overkill. Will perhaps never need them but you only know when its too late. Future proofing never hurt

progress looks good dood. Track time at FCS will be mad in 2018!
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 07-11-2017
Thought I'd pull the radio to find serial number and try and sort the code... Found code in pen written on body of radio...win.
Found lost key. Annoying.
Brake brackets collecting Sunday and radiator outlet moving too ready for fitting

Not.
A.
Good.
Day.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - welshpug - 13-11-2017
ahh that would do it.
collet unseated/not firmly fitted and pinged out?
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Ruan - 13-11-2017
Valve springs cracked FSR - two different engines with different springs had the same failure mode.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Mighty306 - 13-11-2017
Really sorry to see that Piggy. Another set-back you really didn't need.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 13-11-2017
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Mighty306 - 13-11-2017
Oh s**t!
Significant damage to head too I guess?
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 13-11-2017
Head badly damaged. Injector nozzle destroyed.
Valve seat cracked
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - HDi--Power - 14-11-2017
Any idea why?
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Poodle - 14-11-2017
Mate...
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - td_dan - 14-11-2017
Genuinely gutted for you mate. Hope this doesn't deter you and you keep on going
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - welshpug - 14-11-2017
have seen far far worse! still a bummer though.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - bashbarnard - 14-11-2017
bugger me man this proper sucks!! The lemoan is definatly earning its name here!! anything i can do to help source parts etc drop me a message and ill help where i can.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 15-11-2017
Thanks all.
Had many offers of parts which is super kind and may indeed keep this going. Company who supplied springs has been good and on inspection of the snapped spring has seen its a material fault
They have asked for a price on parts to put right.
Next step is finding a different company to make springs!
Tbh.
I was ready to walk away from it Sunday evening.
I'm coming round now with some light from tunnels from different angles appearing
Head not worth repair, valve seat is destroyed but so is the head behind the valve seat.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Mighty306 - 15-11-2017
Good to hear it's not defeated you! There's so much other stuff you've done which won't have to be repeated. Once the piston is sorted I'd be tempted to stick a standard DW10/12 16v head on there for a bit with the boost dialled down just to have it running for a while, but that's just me. Was just browsing eBay & found one for about £130 quid but it's disappeared now. Not you was it?!!
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 16-11-2017
It wasn't boost related.
I was cruising off boost at the time this happened.
I'm still on a pretty mild map tbh. Not much more boost than stock.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Mighty306 - 16-11-2017
Ah, right. Very good luck with finding everything you need to get it back on track. Does sound like you're going to get a lot of support in achieving that.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - unclebeast - 16-11-2017
...was it the one that was already down 100 on compression test that dropped the valve Piggy?

No. Different cylinder.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - welshpug - 16-11-2017
what kind of spec were the springs? anything from another engine suitable?
seems for the 16v xu's the piper spring set is the same for vauxhall and ford cosworth engines.

Not as yet no, a lot of checking, measuring etc was done to see if same found elsewhere but no joy.
