What we have been up to.....

Vauxhall vectra 2.2 engine rebuild.
When we got this car the big end bearing on piston 1 was very badly damaged. The engine would run but the knocking from it was horrendous. Out came the engine, stripped, cleaned and is now going back together with all new piston rings, bearings, timing chains and guides. The head has been sent away and has had the valve guides removed and replaced and the valves ground in so....this car will have a totally rebuilt engine when we come to sell it in the next few weeks.
Photos show removal of the head to where we are up to now....
