I just got my block and head back from the shop, it's a petro 2.25L. The bill is a little vague. They were to check and go over the head as needed. It has been dressed up for proper fit. The engine was hot tanked, cylinders honed, new fitted cam bushing, piston bushings, freeze plugs. Cost 645.00. I have know the two brothers at the shop for a long time, great reputation. Now for the fun stuff.
Bloody hell that’s one expensive block 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Really happy to see the two and a quarter back in the shop. Fantastic.
As a tip for painting engines, 2 pack will handle the heat just fine, I've painted a few bike engines with base coat and 2pack lacquer, handles the heat perfectly, even around the hottest parts of the head near the exhaust ports.
Probably charged you extra for the "long weight" and the "grinding sparks". I think all the good old engine reconditioning business have gone Mike. Nobody wants to do the work anymore, yet it's some of the most satisfying work an engine fitter/machinist can do.
Looking good 👍
I can't believe they had the gall to charge for swarf removal....bloody ludicrous!
Installed perfectly with one mil relief👍🏻
I grew up calling them Welch plugs. In Australia we generally weren’t concerned with freezing
Bloody hell... surprised they didn't charge for elbow grease!! Naughty given they should have waited for you to get in touch. I'd have refused the cost of half what they did without asking. If they say no then you tell them that's the end of your business together.
There's another LR channel where the guys motivation for doing his own repairs and maintenance was that LR Germany charged him for moving his car from the front of the building to the workshop floor.
Hi Mike I was always taught to call them core plugs but your right a lot of shops here in the states call them freeze plugs
Loctite dries anaerobically... requires no air to dry, so that is why there is always an airspace in all their containers... Called an anaerobic cure.
WoW looks realy realy red. Cheers King Mike 🥃
Mike.
Actually, we call them freeze plugs. haha.
Love me a nice engine build. BTW, in California we called them core plugs, since there ain't much frost in the desert!
That’s crazy! Just paid $300 for new sleeves, crank grind, hone, reseated valves, skim, clean etc ( here is South Africa though )
We do love a good ramble 👅
Smooth Hammerite works well on blocks and heads - temperature resistant and doesn’t stain from oils. I did a 12J in red and black and a 200Tdi in silver (aerosol, to avoid streaks) and all stayed unblemished. It also works well on brake callipers, and is cheaper than most brake paints.
