My dad knows a shit tonne, so I'm trying to learn haha. I should get an engine and rebuild it

I want to re-build an old sidevalve motor

[180roman]

So can that happen to turbo'd and n/a cars?

well the problem is very noticeable at idle and we were told the car runs rough

so i could assume that a turbo car may blow the dip stick out once it reaches boost, unlike the na motor

That would be cool. I'd like to do an old Mini engine, but I wont have a Mini to test it in, so it would be pointless haha.

Old motors are good to learn on coz they are simple

[P78]

buy engine first

car next

And cheap too. I want to learn how to modify cylinder heads, I find that stuff really interesting.

i would hope 14s would clear front calipers on the teg considering the stock steel wheels are 14

Romann. Find me a set of LM's for cheap that could use a little love. Like bigger lips and a fresh refinish.

LMs are 2 piece, can't just re-lip

[oHSo EuRo]

Ill make my own lips damn it.

I've been toying with the idea of grinding the front lip off the LM barrels and making them sandwich mount 3 piece using the cut down barrel and a new front lip.

Been disappointed that I can't get 17s in anything wider than 9s

BTW what specs were you after and what stud pattern?

[180roman]

Beautiful for $210

[oHSo EuRo]
