Removed the motor from the car yesterday and disassembled the block. Once my parts arrive today or tomorrow i'll drop it off at the machine shop.

The head was shipped to Curt Brown Saturday. Should have that back within 10 days.

Going to clean up this engine bay nicely and repaint it i'm pretty sure.






Found a bent rod on cylinder #3.... LOL (the one on the right). This cylinder had 25% leak down loss where the others were 3-5%. The piston/rings/wall were perfect and the head looked good as well.




Cluster fu** of parts lol

 

Nice update...I am still impressed you Exedy Twin lasted as long as it did!

 

Thanks B.J. I am surprised as well lol. The discs probably need a rebuild by looking I would say, don't have a MIC to spec them yet. I'm going to be selling it soon so I can buy the QM in a few weeks

 

I'm voting you as the luckiest SOB on the forums. lol... can't believe that rod bent and didn't snap the rest of the way.. you know how much money that saved you lol

 

oh yea, and fantastic for the build, can't wait to see it all put together!

 

Lol, pretty crazy lucky I would agree!. thanks sir, I can't wait either

So far the pistons and arp main studs have arrived:

 

I had those same exact pistons and the description makes me laugh. Anyone else find it humorous? I am a nerd so I don't expect others to see the funny.

 

Is the the word "heads"? Because obviously a 4g motor only has one

 

get a mic! i'd love to see how much life if any you have/had in it LOL

 

Are those the headstuds for a Evo or a 1g? If they are for a 1g make sure your machine shop taps the head and block to make them fit. Progress is lookin good

 

Nice scott super excited to see this at NO/ET.... Keep it hush hush... So you can make a few bucks of the muscle guys

 

That and it says 4G64 but it is a 85.5mm bore. That is smaller than a 64 bore. So unless you sleeve the block they will not work in one.

 

F #3 WHY does it ALWAYS have to be #3 lol.

Looks great so far. I want that front end still. Give?

 

They are just for the Evo. Thanks man!

For sure, should be a good time. Yeah, not too many locals know whats going on

Ah gotcha lol.

Yeah man, i have no clue lol.

Haha, you should do the front end this winter for sure.

You also still need to send me the info for the 15" slipstreams!

 

Looking good Scott
