newb question but WAT?

Dsm flywheels require the outer edge to be a specific height (.610") off of the center, by design. It's a silly thing but everyone with a 1g or 2g got to deal with it on every clutch job over the last 23 years.

Oh, thanks Scheides!!

Started with a little more swapping of valve tappets this morning to make the clearances as perfect as possible.

Slow day but after dinking around with the timing many times over, cleaning, cleaning, and re-cleaning...longblock! Just need some accessories, manifolds, wires, and flywheel/clutch!

Still a ways to go and work is gonna be crazy this week--we'll see.

That cam journal scares me, looks bad in the pic but I hope you can't feel it with your fingernail?

Congrats on the progress! Want to see this at proving grounds.

[Kracka]

Looking good; I love how simple the timing area is!

Do any locals have their injectors done at Ravenworks in Maple Grove?

I'll be sending my 2000's to get flow tested and cleaned there. I believe they said it's $22 per injector, but includes new o-rings and before/after comparison.


Damn that timing job looks easy! Maybe I've been looking at Subaru motors too long but your longblock looks REALLY tall in this picture. Are the 4B11's any taller than an Evo 4G63?
