So, I'm getting together all the bits to build a ‘warm’ 1584cc engine for SuperDry. The idea is that I build the engine and literally take one out, put one in and fire her up.
See the old engine and use the money to get a Freeway Flier gearbox. I’ve got a lot of the stuff and I’ve got an idea of what’s left to buy, BUT, what have I forgotten?
I need EVERYTHING to build an engine as I want to sell the engine in the bus now as a total turnkey unit minus the exhaust.
So, any advice from anyone?? I know there’s a few people on here who have built their own engines up from scratch.
What lubes do I need to build?
