Year before last I bought a v6 tdi from Ryan who used to be on this forum, the aux belt had snapped and tied the engine up.
Anyway I stripped the car, sold lots of parts, kept some and was left with just the engine in the back garden.Now I like my garden, and despite a good few attempts to sell the engine or parts thereof, there were no takers and with spring coming on I didn't want it around for another summer, so I decided to dismantle it and skip it.
I finished it today, and honestly it was mint !!! Camshaft lobes, followers, bearings all were perfect. No wear in the bores and big end and main bearings looked as if they had just been put in ! So now the block sits forlornly alone waiting to join his internals at the tip, what a waste
what a waste!!!
