Awesome job Moose! Everything looks so clean and proper. I love threads that don't shy off detailed pictures. I don't think I've seen pictures that clear of the new OEM shortblock before. Keep up the good work!

Thanks , I appreciate the compliment. I’ve loved this car from the moment I bought it lol. Just trying to give the car what it needs. Thanks for checking it out!
I’ve read that you do need to adjust clearance on tomei scraper then I read you don’t lol which one is it do or Don’t adjust? I’ll look at it later I guess .
The one I installed for an EVO 8 block cleared everything and didn't need any adjusting.
Hell yea! Thanks much appreciated.. I’m going to check it just to be 💯 before I seal the pan up. I only read one horror story so I figured it would be good but I rather have a second opinion.
Good to see these parts out of storage lol
Some eye candy... cleaning surfaces and cleaned up the threads in the block for like 2 hrs, used arp lube on threads into block and now I’m out of coffee filters to continue cleaning. I’ll be back tmw....
Got the head torqued to arp specs, 30/50/80 glad that’s over. More to come tmw I hope , plan on bleeding lifters and then sealing up the pan if I get to it tomorrow. Don’t judge my engine support setup lol
BRO i am not joking i am about to ship my car to you and i pay you to refresh my car like yours, awesome stuff man.
hahaha hell yea send it , thanks. I just try to do things the right way how I like things done, Literally everyone I take my car too messed something up and I’m just tired of that nonsense plus I love tinkering with this thing. More to come and thanks again for the encouragement
Which head gasket did you use? I used the 8 gasket but my local evo shop said he uses OEM 9 gaskets on everything. More layers and slightly lower compression.
I just used the Oem 8 gasket, figures lol. I’m sure it will be fine, but that’s nice to know about the 9 gasket.
I’ll have full bolt ons with gsc s2 and 5040 kit, bbk full B.B. and ported stocker for now till I save some money for a Garrett or Efr series turbo vband setup lol.
