kerry Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 QED full race spec engine with QED throttle bodies producing around 250 bhp. just 400 miles of road use since rebuild. Rebuild consisted of new pistons, rebore, new bottom end bearings, new valves, gaskets etc ~£1500 spent on rebuild Omega pistons Arrow steel rods farndon steel crank Light weight steel flywheel Twin plate AP clutch ARP flywheel bolts REC wasted stem valves (overesized) Twin valve springs Lightweight solid lifters Vernier pulleys Q450 cams Fully ported head QED throttle bodies and fuel rail MBE management and loom Caterham dry sump system including bellhousing with tank. I believe cost new now for this set up is inexcess of 10000 from QED web site. Looking for £4000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Guys, having brought a donor engine for nearly this money and ended up spending in-excess of the sum below ( the higher one ) this is a bargain if you are going VX. The upgrade from x-flow to VX can be quite straight forward and with all the steel in this engine it should be bullet proof. The exhaust will be on the same side of the car, and it is a period engine for a significant Caterham population. Good luck with the sale, looks a bargain in comparison with building one !

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Almost exactly the same spec as my engine apart from my valves which are also oversized but not smaller stems, and the steel crank which I haven't got. - You can easily go R500 hunting with this and it's also perfectly road usable. Sounds like a bargain to me. Edited by - Alex Wong on 30 Sep 2004 09:20:36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
