Author Topic: Reco'ed 186 for gas wanted. (Read 5810 times)

G'day all!
My Knightmare has a slow leaking head gasket and a host of other problems so I'm looking to replace the engine totally!
Anyone got a spare 186 that has been reco'ed for gas (ie: hardened valve seats) for a decent price?

Also looking for the proper diagrams for machining holden disk rotors to bedford bearings.
Any help would be great.

That's in the 'Technical Documentation' section!

Dont know if you'd be interested but i will have a 173 fitted on gas coming out shortly, the donk runs really strong with no smoke. When i rip it out for the v6 transplant its all up for grabs and it'll be free t anyone on this site.

let me know if your up for it.

Consider it done Eddy - i'll contact you when its out - how much of a hurry are you in?

Thanks Mezzmo

I have holidays in September - 19th through to the 25th and I'm planing to take the Kids to Brizvagas to do the theme park thing

The current engine we put in is running, but wont idel under 1000 rpm, on a high idle if you pulll the spark plug leads of on numbers 2 & 5 it doesnt change idle, on the others it does. I thought it might be plugs or points so I replaced them and it did improve things abit.

I think I need to replace the dizzy cap coil and leads to see if that improves things - but the engine is an unkown so I could be waisting my time.

Either that or I bite the bullet and put in a VK fuel injected motor - but thats a whole other set of problems.

hey warren,

have you tried doing a compression test on the motor you have in there now, there not to expensive
to buy a compression tester and could save you spending on things you dont need. plus its a handy tool to have
especially when dealing with old and second hand motors.

just a thought

Hi Warren, i dont have an engine hoist etc but if you want the motor sooner your welcome to come round and rip it out - i've just removed the gas tank and strap so thats all there. Let me know what you want to do. The one thing i did forget is it has a spanking new (reco) starter as well. you lucky devil you!!!
