hello, i am hopefully going to start out to build my own mk indy or 2B, not quite sure yet, verging on the indy, but anyway, I kow the basics of an engine, but am no way an expert. when i eventally get a doner, almost definately a 2l sierra, can anybody suggest any publicatins as to how to recon it..... thanks in advace
Just use the haynes manual for the siera to do a recon on the engine. Ive followed the instructions and have had no problems. Before you get into a big rebuild check your engines main and big end bearings and see if you can obtain new ones first--- some of the sizes are becoming very rare e.g my main bearings are rare and hard to source as the crank has had a grind, as well as the caps and block.
Give it a go as they are not rocket science and very simple engines. Just follow the instructons.
