Unfortunately as we discovered, this was not true. The engine was in a rough condition. Seized pistons and bored to its maximum (40 thou). Camshaft bearings burnt after being starved of oil. Main bearing caps grinded. Oil pump ...

    Congrats Liam, it may look like a basic question, but: regarding the isolation with alu-foil, Is it for the heat from the engine? Or for the noise? Because I see sometimes alu-foil even on the doors and on the front where there is no motor. Nice joooob!!

    • @Linkclassiccars
      @Linkclassiccars 8 місяців тому

      Hi @PieraAndres. This is a bitumen and foil sound insulation. I would not trust this too close to an engine. Although it will reduce heat transfer, the bitumen will burn with an open flame. It will not cause the fire, but it will make things worse 😂
