I'm surprised you haven't put that 4.10 you bought from me in yet

Remember that the speed sensor is busted, so you gotta use your own.


Hopefully you can get this thing on the road soon. Do an m30 swap so we can be e30m30 bros

LOL Vivek is a lazy fuck hahahaha. At any rate, your car needs to be ready for the Berkely Marina Meet!!!!!!!!!!!! :hitler:

[Vivek]

New engine acquired. Gotta do some maintenance on it, replace my front subframe and steering rack, install a skid plate, then I can drop it in.

Will the one from my 4.27 work? If not I have a 4.10 LSD with bad clutches sitting in my sideyard and that speed sensor should be good.

[JinormusJ]

Any new speed sensor should would. If I were you, I'd reuse the sensor that your car came with

[Vivek]

Went from this

To this

in a couple evenings. The plan is to repaint basically everything in black and silver. Valve cover and intake in wrinkle black with sanded ridges, silver oil filter housing and thermostat housing, black block, headers, and motor mount arms, clean up the alternator, clean the pan with either sand paper or a fine wire wheel and then clear coat it, and I'll see what I can do about making the timing case as nice as possible since I won't be removing it. I'm replacing basically all gaskets except the head and profile.

Does anyone know: if I undo the 6 bolts around the crank pullies, can i get off the AC and PS pullies because I'm deleting those two. It seems like the crank bolt would stop them from coming off, but I'm not sure.

[Steven]

stop using a potato for your pictures.

[Vivek]

Both were taken when it was absolutely pitch dark...also got the center out for my wheel that was stuck

[CrusherCurtis]

Don't put that back in there!

[Vivek]

Ehh. I blew my m42 and don't really have money for a swap. It's not an entirely bad engine and I'm doing a few little mods to it like an m20 flywheel.

[Vivek]

Got a bunch of parts cleaned up to paint today, but it got dark/cold too early to paint em. Tomorrow I should have the headers, motor mounts, thermostat housing, and oil filter housing painted. I'll do the VC and intake when I find a place to bake it for the wrinkle coat. Also received my m20 flywheel/clutch/PP.
Awesome GF helping out:


Flywheel and pressure plate look good. Clutch is thick as described, but has a couple little nicks on the edge. Will these pose a problem?

[Vivek]

Over the past couple days I pulled and cleaned the oil pans, installed with new gaskets and a bit of hondabond.

Steven said he drained this engine...fuckin liar.

Painted the block



Clean pan

I pulled off the unnecessary AC and PS pulleys. Is it okay to run it like this with no bolts, or are those 6 bolts also holding the harmonic balancer on?


I've also been working on my style 5's. All are split currently to be polished. Ones done and needs to be put back together. Another is almost fully polished, and the other two are still just sanded waiting to be polished. I also got my valve cover and intake painted in wrinkle black, still waiting to put another couple coats on those since I've been getting home too late the past few days.

never fully drains.

If it's anything like an m20 those six bolts attach it to the crankshaft. The only other thing holding it on is a locating pin. Style 5's eh:D

I'm suprised no one has said she needs moar low;)
