Default Before & after engine action ......
Tom who works here at LittleKnocks had a rather nasty problem with his '93 wrx engine with bottom end number 4 just before xmas

Some of you saw the engine in lots & lots of pieces !

Well 4 months later it's back in & running It took a while but was certainly worth the effort preparing, cleaning & painting everything before refitting.

Hat's off to you Tom

Before :

& After :

Awesome effort - apart from painting what did you use to clean the parts with? Or are they new?

If it couldnt be cleaned, primed & painted then he replaced it with new ones (even down to the little rubbers pipes that samco dont supply he replaced with braided hoses !)

Can you get a clear perspex bonnet for scoobies? I think you need one with an engine that clean.
