im no help but i live in shako and also would like to be there and watch and learn some stuff lol sorry

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

I would love to watch also, I have an engine that im gonna rebuild but I would like to see the darn thing rebuilt. why dont you post here when its gonna happen.

Ill bring the beer, because im sure that nobody should be sober while rebuilding an engine for the first time

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

Sounds like we got a regular pit crew going here! You guys shouldn't hesitate to stop by LSE and see what it takes. I know they will atleast have pointers for all y'all. Best of luck!

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

with my luck, I stop by LSE every other day, but its usually talking about me paying them to get my shit working, I dont get the impression that they will be doing a class on rebuilding engines any time soon, correct me Josh if you have one coming up.

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

Building, or rebuilding any engine is a big deal. I say pay someone to rebuild your motor for you, I doubt you have all the tools you need to build the engine right.

If you have the time, patience, willingness to learn, and just common sense, you can do it. If you don't have one of those characteristics, have someone else to do it. :)

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

lol hell ya what about the booda do you do that??

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

my dad is a mechanic and body man and has been building engines for years just not a eclipse.

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

Thats great, I would watch and learn. Its nice you have access to the proper tools and I hope a clean facility to build a motor. Find a reputable machine shop to do the boring/honing/decking/balancing etc.

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

No classes available in the future, sorry.
Building a motor isn't that difficult, its having it work afterwards is the tricky part ;).

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

LOL

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

hmmmm.....do I do "the booda"?....I hate it when you guys speak in code, I can only ASSUME what that means.....and my answer would be no.

not because of any personal or moral issues, i really could care less, it's just I get random piss tests, and I can't afford for the military to stop paying for my college.

And maybe your smart?
:).

Re: someone wanna build with me??

i say build it, and forget about torque specs. they are for wimps.

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

LOL some uber noob is going to read your posts one day, and fuck up his motor. lol

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

How hard would it be to just put rings in a block?

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

Yes you are smart.
I am sorry about that, Mr. Grammar.

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

Hey kids, come look at the degrading thread! Soon it will be about cookie recipes.


Damn, I could go for a cookie!

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

Dood!

We went to Subway the other day for lunch...and bought them out of he Chocolate/Chocolate cookies!

It rocked!

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

no anyone close to shakopee that does machineing??

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

look in the phone book, we use machine shops in Minneapolis and such, have your dad check them out with you he should now what to look for.

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

Here's a little advice from some one in about the same boat as you. Don't just watch. Make sure whoever is helping you build gets you in there helping and getting your hands dirty. It's the only way to learn. Stephan and I have already started on my engine and it really helps that he's getting me doing a lot of the work while he's doing it to and talking me through and explaining things. BIG help!

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

Ben is baking cookies right now, it smells so good in here!

On a side-note, I ate a box of Girl Scout cookies today. Thinking of hitting up the 2nd pretty soon.

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

whoever is helping you want to come help out if he has done rebuilds before???

Re: someone wanna build with me??
 

I don't think I would really like other guys getting my hands dirty. I would rather have them tell me what to do.
