    M20 - Is this clean enough -;)

    Adjusted the valves a few months ago, and no wonder I found receipts inside the folder in the glove compartment for a job that was done back in 06, right after Katrina. It read for reconditioning, machining, etc.. : $2800.00.

    The last odometer reading was in 1996 at 91K miles. One owner on the Registration the whole life. Original Sticker back in 1990 was listed at 24K base price, and 25,XXX with the LSD, and Leather.

    Enjoy!

          Why did you have to post that pic so soon? Couldn't you have waited a few days? ;).

          Kidding.. Nice Engine.. I wish I had the ends to do that type of work.

          I'm just pointing out a surprise that I inherited.

            just to "point out" that pic isn't fair because "he's" doing the work. You inherited the car with the work done. There is a difference.
            but yes, it is nice to see the motor out; rebuilt and put back in squeaky clean. :-)

                        Why are you pounding in the rocker shafts? If you follow the proper procedure, they push in/pull out by hand.
