oilyhands Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 1800K series engine for sale , rods, pistons, liners and head are all from a 3,000 mile R300. The R300 head has solid followers which have been freshly shimmed and the head has been fully ported by Dave Andrews. The block, water pump and oil pump are new, the crank is low mileage (12,000) and has been polished and fitted with new main bearings and new TF160 big-end bearings. The liner heights have been set to 4 thou and the latest type multi-layer steel gasket and uprated ladder have been fitted. It has a new cambelt and linished tensioner. It also has later VHPD DTH throttle bodies fitted. The cams have been carefully re-timed and the block can be modifed to suit Caterham installation. Should make an easy 170BHP+. Photo diary of build available. £1700 Dave Edited by - oilyhands on 19 Feb 2006 17:10:33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrolhead Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 £100 / BHP Seems like a bargain to me. Have a bump NE7Club Web Site R5 no 65 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Oily, What else would be required to make this run (and approx cost) in a standard 1600 supersport. Also, do you fit/exchange engines at your place. In other words, could you carry out the installation, and any other work required. If you'd prefer to email me, could you send it to: nhill@interfoodtechnology.com, as home pc's toast at the moment. Oz.

Grubbster Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Ozzy - I think as a minimum you'd need a programmable ECU (Emerald?) and a session on a rolling road to map it, not sure what else - I'm sure Oily will soon furnish you with all you need to know Roadsport build photo's here Le Mans 2004 photo's here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 You'll need sump and pickup (ex current engine) Spigot bearing and sleeve Fuel rail, injectors, TPS and air temp sensor (ex current engine) Other engine peripherals such as alternator, starter etc. An Emerald ECU or similar. An air filter. To make the engine complete for Caterham installation. I can install the engine but I'm quite booked at the moment. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'll have to buy her some more jewellery first ☹️ Crikey!!!! Looks like I've just become a windbag. Maybe it's time to get a life!

oilyhands Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Arf... Would the engine be more interesting with forged pistons, new liners and VHPD cams with an output of 185/190? Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
