RIP motor

Post by brendon »

my ''zombie'' sigma died this time for good

after being resurected about 7 times over the last 2 years (any time the range rover has a dummy spit, the sikma gets dusted off)

It was expected, alot of knocks comign from it over the last week.

been bloody good though only needed start ya bastard and a charged battery each time, nothing else done (last 2 years) so pretty tough motor.

no excuse not to start the swap now. just secured all the rest of the parts so good timing-ish except the ranhie is still giving me crap oil pressure issues :@
