chris mk3 325 Posted January 20, 2024 (edited) So having had the Cortina with it's oil burning problem, I decided to take the rebuilt engine back out, looks like the piston ring set I bought on eBay was a jaffer, the oil scraper rings weren't doing anything. new Mahle rings, shells n bearings, re honed the bores n rebuilt, skimmed flywheel, new cam, clutch n gasket set finally back in today , will fit manifolds tomorrow n see how it runs👍 Edited September 17, 2024 by chris mk3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Mack 342 Posted January 21, 2024 That's good you've found the source of the problem. New build looks to be progressing ?! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donncha 19 Posted May 12, 2024 (edited) Beautiful condition, best of luck with your sale. A lot of work gone in to this car since you bought it. Edited May 12, 2024 by Donncha 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris mk3 325 Posted June 16, 2024 (edited) Still can't put the Cortina up for sale, it's been so reliable, been using it daily , so thought I'd continue working on it, £8, I can now see my dash at night 👍 Edited June 16, 2024 by chris mk3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgo 80 Posted June 16, 2024 Try that in a modern car and you'd either be soldering LEDs or buying a new dash! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
