after 10 years its coming back to life

[asshanson]

If the head checks out and has happened a couple times now, maybe the block needs to be checked out. Good luck, hope it's back together soon.

[Murlo26]

Sucks to hear man, hopefully you get it all fixed up soon.

Keep on going, you'll get it running soon again!

the head was decked,cleaned,valve job,ect when the 1st motor died on the dyno when the oil pressuare sender blew out. The bottom end in it now is from Steve he had it in his talon for 1000 miles or so.

This is the first time it has happened with the rebuilt head and the new bottom end.

just have to try to get it back toghter asap so I have a car to drive. today and tomorrow I am driving my dads miata then I am off for 3 days then will have to share aly's car

[TkrPerformance]

I think it is getting back at me for it sitting for 11 years apart. lol

[C3L1CA]

Top timing cover or lower? I have a lower one I've got to sell if you'd be interested.


Sucky to hear about your bad luck! At least you sound like you're already taking it apart and trying to get it back on the road quickly!

[TkrPerformance]

yes the lower one.

[TkrPerformance]

Picked up the head from gosh tues night. It is back on the car now.


Also today for a long 16hrs of doing nothing at work.
Sand blasted,and hot tanked the intake manifold

Painted it flat hi-temp black

Also used on of the stock bolt holes were the hard vac line bolted to now it is a vac port for the 4 bar map sensor

[TkrPerformance]

All back together

[TkrPerformance]

Well it is all apart. Going to sell off all my 6 bolt 2.0 blocks and parts now. Going to put a 2.4 into the car.


Also moved the afpr to hide it now

Installed the 3G eclipse brake booster and master. Just bent the rear line to fit.

[TkrPerformance]

dropped the head and 2.4 off at gosh's today. Also Shane is the man he gave me a felpro perma torque head gasket to try out that he had sitting in his cube for a few years

[goodhart]

Gross. Should have just left the stock hood on it.

[TkrPerformance]

Back to the 50s car show was last weekend. Got some new stuff for the car.

Same s.s. radiator hose kit I have I. The evo 3. Was 48.00

New radiator same as a afco unit. This one is just a bit taller an has a cap on it. Will have to make my own lower core support for it but it is no big deal. Got the fan with it for free and got a extra 25.00 since it was the last one. Show price was 200.00 w/o the fan. Got it for 175.00 with it.




Also picked up a set of thin wheel spacers for the set of rims I got as part of a trade. Just will need them for when I put on a set of brembos.

Here are the rims I got in part of a trade. They are in good shape just need a good polishing. Will be used for winter rims. Sold an cat back for 300.00 and the rims.

[TkrPerformance]

Resealed the tranny today. Getting ready for the new 2.4. Will be picking it up tomorrow.

[mark4g63t]

[turbotalon1g]

Nice, so gosh assembled it for you?

[TkrPerformance]

He did since I dropped it off when it was cold out still and did not to do it in a cold garage since it was orignaly going to be a few weeks to get it done. But Owell I did not have to spend the time now doing it. All I had to do is plug the 5 extra holes in the block and slap the head on it.

Still need a few parts for it.
Water pump
Timing belt
Catch can set up if the valve cover sitting on it right now will clear the hood
Hood pins when I cut out the core support for the new radiator.
Would also like to make a 4" cold intake to replace the 3" cold intake I made already.

[craig]

And you keep stealing parts off the Evo to do it. That poor intake seeing another car.

[TkrPerformance]

The evo will be rebuilt better than it was.

[TkrPerformance]

Little bit more done to it today. Also found my non rad cap upper housing. Pulled out the 2 extra water out let's on the lower housing. Just need to get 2 1/8 plugs for them now.
