Jimbob738 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks guys I've been starting up my IT company still ongoing but gonna sort the civic to ease my mind.When the head went Andrew I was running standard ECU wasn't sure on the map I had so removed it, I'm in no mad rush to get it on the road as the Skoda is doing its job as a daily so I'll do it correctly this time round the Skoda 211 bhp and 330nm torque but as I said to krzys no induction noise just whistle bit boring really I miss my old red aerodeck so bad.........

Jimbob738 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 so last time I posted I think id just got the cylinder head back from port polish and decoke and skim I had B18c6 Valves cut in and dual vavle springs installed paid sod all for them so thought may as well proved very worth the effort. Shortly after around January/Feb time I started strpping and rebuilding the block replaced piston rings and deglazed the cylinders and decoked the pistons themselves, replaced all seals and built it back up again with fresh gaskets: You get the idea of this stage I imagine freshened it all with some Silver VHT after steam cleaned the block all went well.......more to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
