Project 318 g24v college budget :)

[1mz]

The patients heart has successfully been removed. :)
To do this week:

- Pick up the engine from the machine shop - Honed, head planed, valves lapped, new valve seals.
- Install front coilovers, roll fenders sometime next weekend
- modify and install steering rack
- start working on my wiring harness
- repaint valve cover - apparently it wasnt clean enough, the paint didn't stick well in a couple of places, just gonna sand it down, 409 clean it, then tape it off this time
- paint block
- start putting the m50 together
- sell m42, old rims, forged pistons and now, racing seats. Need to stay within budget, some goodies got to go..

wanted to see the result without taping, I like it - itll probably stay that way

[shiboujin]

no taping off?

painted the valve cover today :). It got cracked during transport, so I had to JB weld it anyways, needed a new coat of paint, decided to do something a little different... :) I was going to be neat and tape it off at first, but i decided to give the sprayed look a try - i like how it came out

Put the car in 5th and get a big long breaker bar. Should be able to get the bolts off them. Also, try soaking them in witches piss for a couple hours before you do it.

longest. day. ever. worked a full 8 hour day at work, drove across the bay bridge to pick up a cherry picker (took 3 hours in traffic - its an hour drive) didnt get to start pullin the motor until 1030ish - managed to lift it off of the motor mounts by 4 AM... it was the first time my friend and I have ever pulled an engine so it was a learning experience... we couldn't get the damn drive shaft undone at the guibo so its still in the car, attached to the lift... comes all the way out next friday - So close I can taste it! haha

might as well throw in that in my sleep deprived hallucigenic state (went to bed at 5, up at 7 to finish before my friend had to leave, but we were too tired) I drove an hour in the wrong direction trying to go a different way to get back to my moms house in VA...

now for a nap - ohhh and pictures will be up monday as promised :)

[1mz]

good to know - thanks sam :)

Tonight the m42 comes out! There WILL be pictures come monday

A) I'm aware that with the 4.10 its going to go like a bat out of hell, then top out at 110. I'm ok with it, its only until the spring.

Don't get ahead of yourself, it will do over 120mph with that setup. And it isn't that bad, a G260 with a 3.93 is wayyyyy worse!
