Engine Taken out (again) ~

Finally manage to secure a place where i can leave mango on tripod for at least a month's time for me to slowly do all the tweaking and overhaul his heart. As I had a sure feeling that one or more of it's cylinder is loosing compression. 
 As expected from our McGuyver, my 4age-20v is taken out from mango within 1 hour and taken apart in 2~ XD~ buggy fast he work.
And to our~ (mcguyver said it's his first time saw this kind of condition after so many 20v he had taken apart) HORROR~! cylinder one and four have this 'crack' kinda mark on it's cylinder and both piston ring were about 0.2mm smaller. Not sure it's a lot but it definitely effected mango's hours power. 

So with the twist of event.... an engine block change is in evadable~ Good thing i had two more black-top block in spares~

5-valves per cylinder monster~!

I stumble upon this monster while i surf around the net yesterday. 

It's a Bugatti EB-110. "The Bugatti EB110 was a mid-engine sports car from Bugatti Automobili SpA, the 1990s successor to one of the most celebrated marques in automotive history. It was unveiled on September 15, 1991, in both Versailles and in front of the Grande Arche at La Défense in Paris, France, exactly 110 years after Ettore Bugatti's birth."(Quote from Wikipedia)

It share the same 5-valves per cylinder technology as the 4age-20V which is sitting inside my mango TE72's engine bay ^.^ hurray 5Valves~~
