dude its just awesome!

 

Thanks!

THanks Brice. Hoping to have the bottom end fully assembled within a couple weeks. I'm pretty busy during the weekdays and I'm trying to take my time with it to make sure it's done right

Much appreciated. May I ask why you hate painted motors?

thanks buddyyyy

thanks skank! i mean thanks

thanks matt, you already know you'll be the first to shoot it when it's done!

hahaha

hey guy

Thanks man! I'm pretty picky when it comes to painting stuff, and the motor was no different. I wanted a nice flat aluminum look that would look as good, if not better, than a brand new block. Pm'ing you some info

Haha you're silly. I L U

So uhh Tad, when are you launching full blown production of your custom...you know.. race part

Dang jeremy, you're still around?! Better see you out there this summer!

Thank you sir!


Haven't gotten too much done this week because I've been really busy, but here's a small update.

Moved the motor inside to where it will be getting assembled.



Installed the oil squirters



I also started checking the gaps on the ringlands that came with my pistons but I didn't bother to take pictures of that. I'll be getting started on the "real work" this weekend, so look forward to some updates.

 

nice job there guy

 

lookin real good guy.

 

I r lurker.

 

siqqq d000d!

 

Love this thread! So many pics! So much decent work!

Looking forward to seeing the engine build!

Keep it up bro! Your doin great! :D

 

Lookin great! That block=TEH HoTnEsS!

 

Thanks for the good words!

Some of you might find this interesting so I thought I'd throw it up. It's a battery tray that I made a few weeks ago in my machine shop class. I might end up using it in the car.







I'm thinking about making a dead pedal for my car in a similar fashion as well.

 

Dead pedal, dooo it!!
I'll even buy one if I like it

 

Its started to rust already? Bring it to lab tomorrow and coat it in that dye until you decide if you want to use it. I still have my dyed on the inside and it hasnt starting rusting.

 

Haha ok!

It's just real light surface rust, it wipes off if I run my finger across it. I've had this thing sitting for weeks so.. I'm not really sweating it. I'll paint it or coat it with something when I'm ready to use it.

 

so do you kids actually go to School to LEARN or just make a bunch of "RiCe PaRts" for your "RicE KaRs"....? Just wondering if i'm wasting my hard earned Tax DoLLaRs lol!

 

brice mierda

 

Seeeek

 

Tony make some dead pedals homie! hook a brother up man HOMIE HOOK UP, BTW ill call you tom

 

your tax dollars go to pay for our new football team!

 

yah yah yah!!! I can't wait for this summer homie...can't wait to see this thing on the road again!

 

Way to call me bACK SHADY FOOL!!!!!!! I got some awesome secret news for you

 

Updateers

 

Unfortunately I didn't get much done this past weekend. I've been trying to hunt down a piston ring filer so I can gap my rings. It's the only thing holding me back from putting this thing together. Shooting to assemble the bottom end this Thursday.

 

Dang if fred would ask.. he slacks! I would already of had one at your house if i was at work

YAY TONY sweet a shoe box

 

LOL... it's all good man. Fred's a good guy, I know he's probably busy with work.


I made a thread about some questions/concerns I have concerning my piston ring gaps.

*ninja edit* aww snaps POST #1000 playaz!!!!

looking sweet so far! Although I would have removed the oil dipstick tube, the block plugs on the back, and the block drain bolt while painting the block so that you'd have the original finish on those.
