hey, 1/2 gram is alot better than the 10 it was lol

 

well ya lol..sounds like a good build..cant wait to see some numbers.

 

yeah, they will come soon, as soon as the midget gets back from crazy land lol

 

in for results, lsj love here bro....

 

im lookin for 400 plus with a heavily modified m62 on my 2.4 lsj build

 

UPDATE, just a small one, been working slow, got the rings gapped, went with .018 top, and .015 second. should work out pretty good for him. he don't plan on doing a full 150 shot, maybe a 100 at the most if he does, so that is the reason that I didn't go with .020 on the top ring. well, on with a couple pictures



I used the pistons as a guide in the bores to set the rings in and square them up to measure them, it worked pretty good and made things go really quick.



than I nice good cleaning of the pistons and the block, and time to toss the pistons in their homes



One in



Two



Three



And all the pistons are now in their new homes, still need to torque the rods down yet, and run a bead of silicone around the girdle,



I know its out of order, but can't do too much, so I painted the water pump, and bolted it up.



dont know if it really matters at all, but I timed the lower chain up with the marks, and got that ready to go, and I say I don't think the timing matters, cause theis engine has zzp's netural balance shafts in it, so yeah.

But thats all for now, just taking it slow, mainly cause my friend is slacking on getting me an engine stand. but I should have it tomorrow, so I should have a real nice update come sunday night, maybe, gotta work tomorrow for 24 hours, so we will see how much rest I get.

 

looks like my first builds pistons...just dont get detonation and the coating will live..detonation is wat makes the coating chip then its down hill from there

 

down hill isent the word

 

fucked a better word for it...lol

 

I want a ride if this car ever survives to make a meet.

 

sorry, your not tall enough to ride is this car

 

I'm probably as tall, if not taller than you/nick.

 

well, got a little done this weekend,



painted oil pan ready to go on



rod bolts all torqued down, and piston oilers installed



Girdle installed and torqued down



Oil pan installed,



ARP Head studs

























all timed up and ready to go





and shes ready to come off the stand and get mated to the trans

 

damn and thats a "little" work nice job

 

ready to go under the car, well almost ready













all bolted into place and ready to wire the rest of the stuff up, getting close guys, getting close.

 

not too bad

 

Hey, 18 hours of work on it this weekend to assemble and get it bolted into the car by myself, had a little help for a couple hours yesterday to torque down the cams, flywheel, balencer and clutch and get the trans bolted, but the rest was all just me. lol

 

should repaint strut tower bar. purple doesnt really match does it?

lol i meant only that it was alot more work than just a "little"

 

 

I actually found a different color purple that matches a little more, I was just testing that color on their just to see, its gonna be darker,

 

looks good minus the oil cooler... those are overrated... what oil pressure adapter did u use? i had 3 that broke so i gave up

 

Gettin **** done! It looks nice all painted up

 

I got the stock oil pressure adapter still on their, but I tapped into the boss on the back of them block for the sender for the interceptor

 

Brian i want u to build my engine, but all i can pay u with is hopes and dreams

 

This is looking like a nice build for cruising... Maybe 35-40mph tops to church and for groceries
