What's going on with that pan? Looks unique

 

hey what technique did you use for the copper orings. I followed the GE instructions but the motor will not seal. Just give me a little insight. Thanks

Looks great by the way

 

looking good
keep up the good work..keep us updated

 

I am using a 84.5mm bore via Endyn rollerwave pistons.

The intake manifold was purchased polished, I previously had a JG that was unpolished, but traded and upgraded.

I have been building this car for 2 years as of Dec 1. Takes a LOT of dedication to do this! It'll be worth it in the end...I'm ready to move on to a different project now.

 

Its a normal Moroso Oil pan, nothing truly special.

 

there's isn't a whole lot of trick needed to do the O-ring...
Didi you check the straightness of the block ? check the depth of the grrove as well...
I did mine right the first time, I even took the head off and re-use the o-ring...no leaks...

like I told you before, use a small hammer and tap the copper in the o-ring groove so they are seated all the way down...

BTW: John, Nice man...very very nice....it'll be worth it man..trust me

thank you for all the support guys, as close as I am I am so tempted to tap out and go build the project car I've been dreaming of....but I just can't swallow my pride, I have to finish this

 

You have just a few more steps and goal will be done.. you can do it John

BTW what project car you been dreaming of????

 

dont even think about it..if another big honda guy leaves i think im gonna cry

 

SC300 6speed single turbo

 

Aint ya sick of Ramen dinnas yet? sheesh!

 

I can get it done cheaper than you think. Thats why it kills me to continue funneling money into this car.

 

nice john. very nice. ur almost there, ur dream civic is almost complete dont give up on it. it would be such a waste to have put all that time into a car to just sell it when its done, u need to enjoy the fruits of ur labor and have fun w/ the civic for awhile.

 

That is exactly the plan. How long I keep it (or keep it together) depends entirely on how reliable it is. As much **** as I've put in this, I don't see what could break...but you never know...

 

awesome

 

Yummy

 

I got my Defi gauges (well all but EGT but its on the way) and my DSS hubs. I now only lack 951 bucks in parts, and countless hours of labor to finish this car...assuming nothing comes up.

 

Looks good...Hopefully I be coming to visit you soon with my project. B20VTEC turbo for my 94 coupe still in the works..
