Get in touch with Greg at ecumaster. I'm sure he will sort you out. I can't believe the difference it's made to my car. He will get your car running and driving properly.
2zz by Rogue. Se7en cams. BMC CDA. Competion clutches lightened flywheel, Megillian Racing Exhaust. TRD sportivo suspension and ARB\'s. TRD braces. TRD quick shift. TRD dash kit, Matts brace. Getting there but not sure when it will stop!

Stock compression I believe is 10.5.

Looks like a good compromise between cost and opportunity.
I am glad you have been able to make a decision. :D

What sort of time frame are we talking here?

Not sure on time.
No rush.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

So after much soul searching have decided to have a full stock rebuild with a couple of twists.
Will try to lower compression either via machining pistons or fitting thicker headgasket.
May fit forged rods because they can be had for not much money.
Forged pistons are just to costly to justify when you aren't looking to make huge power.
Really need an Ecumaster black or a link Fury. Will see how things go.

What's the stock compression ratio?

10.5:1 I believe.

We'll add it to the evidence pile... Unfortunate that you had to be the butt end of that recurring joke.

I have found small tools in and around my various cars over the years, left by service mechanics. Never found a wooden shafted adjuster though :)

@mikek agreed.

It least you know exactly what you are dealing with now. Worth checking everything you can elsewhere in the engine bay now the lump is out.

Hopefully get her opened up today.
I hope we find just a blown headgasket and nothing else wrong.

What a complete mess this is from from the original builder... Is this not enough to stop people in the future using them for a V6 swap in a mk3?

Is that Scott's engine?

It was a yellow engine and John thought it was my car.
But it was vvti and dual throttle body so can't be mine.

Shall we attribute that tirade to grape juice?

The grape juice has had a calming influence in this case.

@headcase
I don't mind waiting in line behind another MR2  but a bloody ginetta is a bit much ;p

Dear Scott
I feel for you.

As tom alluded to, when new members come along. Should it be club policy to dissuade them from using a certain v6 converter.

I redact my last statement.
Partially.

He did load it up with mr2 goodness for others at DD.
Did not pay attention to the what. Thought it was a skoda octavia estate.
