I wondered if you were going to do that to save the racetractor. Its a bugger you couldnt get one quick enough but work is work.

Yup. 
A few fans of the channel have offered boxes... One of which is dropping it off at Tiggys today. Like an actual legend. 

So at least I will have time to clean it up, give it a lick of paint...and maybe change some internals....

Gearbox back on with my best mates help, Noah, (with the RG 806) as I put my back out and trying to work with a busted back and avoid lifting in g/boxes! Huge shout out to a Piggypower fan who donated the box and Tiggy' who brought it down for me.

Cleaned it up and lick of paint. New bushes and seals. Removed useless open diff Wink

Now it's hanging on mounts....

Next step is strip rods/pistons out. Again.

any idea yes as to what happened to the valve spring? crap metal or are they going coil bound from being too fat?

Not coilbound this time

Suspect material failure. It's been tested by an independent firm. 

1month off the road now. Undecided

An independent spring testing company has confirmed material used was junk essentially. Now in hands of Craftsman who have recently changed hands to add to difficulties.

Replacement head stripped and sent off with dead head today for 'work'

All pistons and rods removed for inspection. All seems well with block and bore, two pistons will be replaced for good measure. Chance to balance them all too.

Rear beam parts stripped, cleaned and painted. Be rebuilt soon.

Same with front brakes.

Now SORN'd. Undecided

Pic for comic lovers...

Care to share the report if you have it?

Expecting high cycle fatigue looking at the service length.

All I have heard is confirmation of the poor material. 

Awaiting craftmans response from legal side of things. 

In other news, new head should be ready this week, pistons courtesy of a very poorly Cornish legend arrived and I'm balancing them all up with the rods... So rebuild should start next week. 

Got this done in meantime:

It was. Till I went away. 
Builder obviously used the bench that it was sat on for something and paint is chipped everywhere.

I'll touch it up once it's fitted. 

21mm TBs. GAZ adjustables. Hopefully use the 24mm ARB from the Dturbo beam... Would like to upgrade the ARB at some point.

All new seals and bolts by #axlesbystef ...couldn't have done it without him

Bought a new tube with bearings ready fitted from Germany

Hopefully this really is the last time I see these... Even though I said that about 18months ago and 3 rebuilds ago...

   

Pistons are in. Sump on. Head will arrive this weekend....

Hats off for persevering with this Piggy.  At least I guess you're not too phased by an engine rebuild now.  They say practice makes perfect!

Have you decided what springs are going in the head this time?

Beam was looking very tidy from your earlier post btw.  Providing you don't post the video we can all continue under that illusion!! Smile

I know it's tough considering this cars history Piggy but stay positive!  You've learned a lot along the way.

Looking forward to hearing this purr like a kitten ......oh, wait, no sorry, it's a diesel, purr isn't quite the right word Rofl

Also looking forward to hearing that this has bought some big smiles to your face.

New injectors in.
Everything is back together. Gearbox seals/oil in today. All the splash guards etc.
It coughed and spluttered. But not quite fired to idle.
Battery just not up to it after so many months sat out in the cold.
So steady charge overnight and we'll see what happens...
