so on the weekend i stripped my bpt motor that i had bought just 3 weeks ago of FL.com. all was going well. found out the it had a set of b6t rods in it with some bp26 stamped pistons . So im assuming that they where standard pistons.



Now here is for the kicker. I did notice till it was completely apart but the block has a gash taken out of piston bore number three. Its so bad that i cant actually hone it out. so there goes that idea for just replacing rings and bearing.



but then i though to my self.. hmmm wait i have a spare BP series 3 block at home that all we need to do is tap the water and oil in the block and BAM its a bpt block..

WWWEEELLLLL the water tap went well but the oil one not so well. u have to drill about 150mm down into the block to hit the oil gallery that supplies the oil to bearing number 4. well yer we must have been drilling on a slit angle and we cam out the side.

Needless to say at this point im so pissed off that i just dont give two ****s.

so anyway now im looking for a bpt block thats standard bore in size to put all my bpt pistons and b6t rods in..


the plan will be now to find a bpt block. put everything into that and bolt it into the car. get the mod plate and everything approved by qld transport. then rip it all out in a couple of months to bore out the block and replave the internals with foged gear..

i should have done this months ago but i was trying to keep everything on the cost effective side.. but hey now i have learn't that lesson i'll keep on moving. after all that happend i'll be able to bolt on my Evo8MR turbo i bought a couple of months back and get a twin scroll set going.
