Right done some work on my spare engine today. Went to pick up my bargain engine stand from a really nice bloke on the 205 forum who also had a beautiful 205 with a gti6 lump in.
Bores are in a surprisingly good condition considering the engine has done 102k. The top end had recently had a rebuild i think but after taking it apart, the bottom end hasn't been touched. The engine was a snapper however it snapped at idle and the only damage to the bottom end is a mark on one piston in the carbon on top of the piston lol.
Tomorrows job is to clean up the pistons, remove the old rings and start giving the block a good clean ready for tarting up.
Oh and as promised, pics
New rad, R26 IC and Oil cooler
Nice new Omex 600
Refurbished head.
Still deciding on a colour scheme for the engine bay but i have a feeling it will include candy purple lol.
