Engine Rebuild
April 1999 – September 1999
In 1999, I had to have the engine in my car rebuilt
after we discovered some cracks in the block. So pictures from the rebuild can
be seen below, or you can download this PDF
document to read the whole story, and see even more pictures.

This Engine Rebiuld was done by Dave Whammond at Pier Prestige,
and he did a great job. The new engine has done over 100,000kms without
missing a beat
