This Turbo Esprit came in with what was thought to be a blown head gasket.

A look inside the oil filter showed a more serious problem.

We pulled the engine from the car prior to dismantling it.

Removing the cylinder liners showed the real problem.

The oil pump pick-up is almost completely blocked.

Three of the four cylinder liner seats were damaged during a previous engine rebuild.

The empty engine bay prior to refinishing.

A new short-block was obtained.

We partially dismantled the new engine to verify its condition.
