Goodhart's budget beater 1g

[goodhart]

About $60 between the Race and the Aluglide. About $35 difference between the King bearings and ACL race, and $30 between the Clevite's (which I've used in the past with luck) and ACL Race.

The thing is, I know ACL Race bearings work well in our motors, but it seems as though everything else does as well!

[Goat Blower]

Bah, regular Clevites and Kings work just fine for that. Just make sure you clean up the edges if going with Clevites, they can have an edge on them.

[goodhart]

I've decided on King's. They will be ordered in the morning. :D

[dsmolition]

Clevite, for me. I have been running stock spec ones on eagle rods for years and I am not nice to my car at all.. I cant blow it up for some reason.. I would recommend them unless you are going with a full build.

Got a little bit done today. My mission was to get both my engines torn down to bare blocks. I got one done, then the other about 70% of the way. My impact took a shit, so it slowed me down, then I called it a day shortly after.

Couldn't get the damn front motor mount bracket off the old motor, didn't want to break it off in the block and the impact died so I left it. The block can be used as a core, the crank may need to be polished, I'd like a more expert opinion on it first I guess.

This is how I left the 2nd motor. It's a good thing I decided to dig into it though, because as soon as I hit the balance shaft nut to take my sprocket off with my ratchet the belt disintegrated. That would have been a bad time. I also found some debris in the oil pan and found that the engine had one bad bearing as well, it was down the the copper in one little strip down the middle, looked to be from contamination maybe.

Also found out the motor I picked up this spring came with straight cut oil pump gears. Bonus! Should work well with my OEM balance shaft eliminator stub shaft

I re-wired my brother's parts cleaner the other day and got that running again. Got some new solvent in it, and it works tits! Now I will be cleaning the crap out of everything for a while. Plan on pressure washing my block this weekend, maybe get it honed as well.

[goodhart]

Well, last weekend little Chang and I got the motor all pressure washed and cleaned up and ready to hone. I grabbed a dingle ball hone from a member tonight and will probably get to it some time in the next couple weeks. So busy lately.

Also, because I got such a smokin deal on these that I couldn't pass them up, I picked up some Evo 8 Enkei wheels this afternoon from Felipe. They could use some powdercoat, but eh, this things a beater!

[dsmreck]

trade ya rims lol. I need more friends I always see um for 800 wtf

[goodhart]

Ha! Hell no, nowhere near 800 for these!

Once I hone the block I am taking it in to get hot tanked then it should be ready for paint and assembly.

[blackrosenova400]

I cant wait for you to have this on the road!
