Another 100 pounds?!?!?! You crazy son!

I'll give a +1 to MAP's engine building program; Alex built both of the 2.0's for my X and I've had nothing but good luck and solid performance from them.

deck surface has been stinted.

what is that?

I love how you build most all your parts Mark. I wish I was more handy in the fabrication department to do that. It makes it that much more satisfying when you run what you do.

Forgot to ask, how are you bolting up the rear section of the driveshaft? Do the 3kgt and 1g have the same pilot and mounting bolt on the pinion flange?

The pinion flange pilot is the same size, so it self-aligns. The bolt pattern on the flanges are different and the rear end needs another set of holes to adapt to the 1G driveshaft flange.

The mounting of the rear end is where it gets difficult. No bolt holes line up and you basically start over with the fabrication of the mounting. The rearend needs to be modified so that it fits the smaller 1G subframe. I ended up cutting two of the mounting points on the nose of the rearend because they protruded out too far and were interfering with the subframe. There a total of three points on each side, so I wasn’t too worried that I’m not using all the points.

I'm not familiar with 'stinting' the deck surface, can you explain or provide pictures?

what's the reason for the oil heater? Reduce warmup time before runs?

Stinting reinforces the deck surface of the head in spots where head gaskets tend to fail. It is done by milling holes in the deck surface at the weak points around the deck. Then pressing in solid aluminum rod in the holes, the rod is tig welded into the head. There are two locations per cylinder. It was MAP's recommendation, as they had successful experience with it.
