Was hoping someone could clarify what version block I have. It was sold to me as a version 8, image below, in its pre strip down state. There is a water pipe on top of the engine towards the back of the engine, which my version 4 doesn't have. Anyone know what goes on the pipe?
I just wanted to confirm the version if possible so I can ensure I get the right Modine and a few other bits so I can get it fitted in the Storm as the engine expired the other day whilst pottering around at 30mph enjoying the scenery.
I'm fitting version 4 sti heads, again I'm not sure on the cam belt kit configuration particulary if I should use the small idle wheel or not. The pistons are ver 5/6 omega pistons and the heads have been skimmed so I also need to work out the H/G thickness. I was going to aim for 8:1 compression
Bit of a mish mash I know...I won't bore you with the full spec (all forged) though was hoping it would all come together to make a bullet proof 300bhp+ engine, current state below, any comments and advice welcome.
