Soooo... Will we see it at Pigeon Forge??? =) -Dave -----Original Message----- From: Martin Gutkowski [mailto:webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 5:16 AM To: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [DMCForum] Martin's lovely new hand-built engine Darren will be delivering it in a couple of weeks. It is a stock DMC engine, but a mish-mash of reconditioned and new parts. The block, sandwich plate, sump and crank are coming from the engine that was in the car when I got it. Basically all the parts that wear are being replacesd. The crank is the one exception and that shows negligible wear (was tested professionally and still comes within manufacturer's specificatinos). All internals have been replaced. Many of the bits came from a brand new crate Volvo engine that I picked up from Chris Parnham for £350. Several items such as valves came from Darryl or eBay. Yet more items such as water pump and timing chains came from Renault, and items like chain sliders came from Volvo.Sprockets, conrod bolts, dipstick and other stuff came from DMCH As you know, Darren Bowker is a "professional hobbyist" when it comes to building engines. I will be sure to post photos when I get the lump. It will be a benchmark for any concours competitor, that's for damn sure. Except the fuel lines, which I'm having made and will look slightly different Martin Walter Coe wrote: >Martin, > >Tell us all about your new engine.
