Hi Stevey, ironically my old GTT is back in Scotland again. Its a funny old world.

Well unfortunately its all gone Pete Tong

One of the pistons has failed and after testing it appears Number 4 cylinder has 92% leakage and there is a lot of oil in it.

The head will be coming of shortly and hopefully there is no other damage other than possible bore scoring which will be removed when bored for new pistons.

So I'm currently drawing up a shopping list for the rebuild. I'm seriously considering a Tomei 2.8 stroker kit. HMMM

Cheers stevie. I'm gutted mate. It is something i always intended to do but just not this soon. Have to have a think about how far i want to take the car now to see what scale the rebuild will be. I'd like to go for the 2.8 stroker kit but it is expensive.

Damn that's bad news Stevie, beautiful car, hope it's not too long till it's fixed.

To be fair, the importer has been very concerned about it and we have came to a compromise.

matty32 · 8th September 2008, 07:49 AM

well if JM-imports are good enough to compromise then fair enough, its a global auto car so it should be a-ok

i assume it was remapped etc and all checked before it went out

sometimes these things happen

i got your pm & replied

vizibledog · 19th September 2008, 09:38 AM
