6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now

The pistons are done! Looks like they used my pistons for the photo on their website too :) Thanks MAP!

Looks nice. So does that coating make the pistons larger, meaning the layer of coating needs to be accounted for when boring the cylinders for a specific PTW clearance?

[95talonracer]

I am pretty sure they said no but I guess I'm not positive.

[Speedfreak]

As far as I know, yes, it should be accounted for. It's relatively a small difference, but enough that it could affect your piston to wall clearances ever so slightly(which is sometimes enough..).

I think it is adjusted for in the honing of the block if I am not mistaken. The block is machined but Im pretty sure it still needs to be honed and they were waiting for the pistons to come back from coating.

Well the short block is assembled and now I will be moving onto the process of building the head. The block consists of the following

-stock block
-stock crank
-ARP main studs
-ACL race main and rod bearings
-Custom 9.5:1 .020 over CP pistons with ceramic and oil shed coating
-Manley Turbo-tough rods oil shed coated

Photos to come.

Here are more photos of the engine assembly. Will upload more later.

The head is the next part being worked on right now. I have ordered GSC Single springs, GSC S1 cams, Rev 1mm OV Stainless valves, Bronze valve guides, stage 2 port and polish, and a complete cylinder head coating service. Port & polish, and the coating done by MAP (www.maperformance.com) and same with parts.

Is it just the picture or what? But that rod on the far right looks all beat up on the edge of the cap.

I have ordered GSC Single springs, GSC S1 cams...

Pretty sure you meant to say S2, right? :)

The 'Gen3' ones are nearly identical specs to what is hot hot hot for the 4G63/4b11t right now. Just sayin :)

Motor looks good man!

No S1's. We did some research on this I'm sure Kerry will explain. For his power goal and the fact that it's auto the S1's will do well.
