Thread: Anyone made an engine block coffee table before?

I had toyota 4EFTE engine that spat a rod, done the same thing. I had my ex collegue at Schlumberger sneak it in on the quiet and acid bath the head, block and sump.

He was able to cut the block in half, but left the head complete for balance. just mounted it with 4 risers off the rocker cover. I installed the pistons, rods and crank and epoxyed the rod back through the hole and the pistons in place, with a few supporting spanners jb welded in.....

Then I left for wonderful NZ, where a land rover defender costs 90K+

Sold it for 100 GBP to a mate.
