The worst dt engine on ebay

[declan]

Note how clean the inside of the engine looks,the second bolt snapped again when I tried to remove it after using heat and wd40 I'm in the process of drilling it out about half way dine that's the point I have reached not done anything else to it,I'll pick it back up tomorrow

[Calum]

I've seen worse.

Looks like you're going to need some heat on this.

[declan]

@Calum put the engine in the oven on full for a week or two

[NINJA]

@declan I'm curious - how much did you pay for it???

[declan]

@NINJA have a guess

[Stevie Wonder]

@declan in crust we trust
Also just a thought if that Y-1 3mb head is original to the engine and it never looks like the cases have been split then you could’ve just found a motor that someone ripped out 30 year ago and then got abandoned. Good shape on the inside

[declan]

@Stevie-Wonder well it's a dtx engine so can't be that old but it doestn look like anyone has been inside it no signs at all the top end has been changed though it has an aftermarket base gasket but the head gasket looks oem

[declan]

The last bolt has been drilled out managed to keep the thread intact

[declan]

Engine came up pretty well it's probably where I'll leave it cosmetically for now probably move on to getting my ignition sorted

[Calum]

Yeah that's come up really nicely!

[NINJA]

@declan £100???

[declan]

@NINJA technically 130 but I had to pay delivery from isle of wight so ended up 170 the only reason I got it was I had a dtx stator and case lying around and I had a good feeling that the engine was good underneath the crust so far I was right

[NINJA]

@declan Sounds like a good deal then.

[declan]

@NINJA yeah but of a gamble now that i think of it but I wanted a project engine now I got it so I'm happy

[NINJA]

@declan You've improved it already, so it will only get better from here on in.

[declan]

@NINJA thank you a fresh paint job is in the works what's been keeping you busy?

[NINJA]

@declan I'm currently building a new PC, but I will be working on my bike again soon, as my back has improved. I would have started earlier if it wasn't for me nearly chopping the end of my middle finger off a couple of weeks ago.

[declan]

@NINJA not ideal is it what's your pc for gaming?

[NINJA]

@declan Yep gaming & general use

[declan]

@NINJA nice well I not long ago got my first pc so message me on Facebook when it's done
