Sorry to hear that.

 

that is BS if you ordered something and they sent you the wrong item, they need to make good on the deal special item or not, they screwed the pooch not you

 

So I have finally got everything together, got it in time, will add all the fluids in the morning. Sorry It has been so long since I posted. It has been crazy here with my bonding company. I wish everyone just went to court like they are supposed too. lol

 

Did you just get out of jail or something.....

 

No man- I own a bonding company- I get people out of jail.

 

that is amazing

 

mmmm bonding fun.... my brother was a skip tracer for like 2 years, he loved it now he does repo's

cant wait to see the end results.

 

I am really sick of it. I have done it ever since I got out of the military(1993). I chased for a long time, then the company I was working for decided to close the doors. So I started my own about 2 and half years ago. It pays good until you get alot of runners. Then you have to spend all your time looking for them. I am too cheap to pay a bountyhunter. LOL I chase my own.

 

so......WHATS the deal man im eager to hear about this i wanna do a lot of internal work, but i will let u be the guinne pig at the moment

 

What do you mean "whats the deal". Everything will be done tomorrow. The only thing that was done to my car as far as internals is the JE pistons. Plus the head work. The JE's run the exact same compression as factory, 9:5:1, The head shaved and cleaned up will give me alittle better flow plus a little more compression. NOT much though. The engine will run exactly the same as stock, the difference is that I will be able to run more boost. But them again I wont have a turbo installed until spring. It is wicked cold in my garage.lol. The only thing that kept me from starting today is the battery. Its on the charger and I will crank it up in the morning. The only thing that I will probably have to do is, prime the valve lash. All that involves is running the engine to 3000rpm and let off, might have to do it up to 30 times is what the service manual says. So stay tuned!

 

It finally done- valve lash was real loud when I first started it. But after priming and driving down the road for about twenty miles it has quieted up. I'm EAR TO EAR BABY!!!

 

awesome work man! people get a huge pit in their stomach when they hear a blown engine, but with the right know how, it can be real simple to fix the lancer and get it on its feet, great job again man and im glad to hear your running! remember to break those JEs in good man. yo umust feel like i did when i finally got my engine rebuilt! what a joy right?

 

EAR TO EAR BABY!

 

What do yo guys think of my Ford Red Enamel Valve Cover?lol

 

Just out of curiuosity why didnt the rods get replaced. I read the thread and you said that road race said they were OK. How much power can they handle. NOT boost but power. They looked pretty scrawny to me. Just curious as we are looking to develop a kit for the lancer as we did the EVO and would like to know how much the internals can handle. Any info you can help with would be great. Thanks in advance.
