Wow Doug. Quite a project, and you must work like a madman to get so much done in a month! I'm just catching up with this build. An interesting and entertaining thread! Keep it up. : ) |

I spend a ton of time just staring at it on my coffee table at night trying to figure out where to go with it next. Once the bearings arrive, I will get the crank built, then work on the pistons and connecting rods. Doug |

:offtopic: :( :( :( :( Not much work done on the v4... had to take care of the MR2.... :( :( :( :( Hole in the number 3 piston... could be why I had 0 compression... Oh... and the bearings arrived... they are right there behind the ratchet still in the tubes... :bang: Gave me a chance to seat the valves an replace the seals... after 120000 miles still had .008 clearance on the valves... not bad... Cylinder not torn up too much.. not as bad as I thought it would be... might burn a little oil, but it is a 23 year old car.... honing got rid of 90% of it, will need to get bored over eventually, but it should be fine for now... maybe I will drop a 2.0 3S-GTE turbo in there one day... New pistons will be here tomorrow. When I get it back on the road I will start working on the V4 again... Thanks for your patience... Doug |

That is amazing - I`ve never stripped an engine. I keep threatening to strip the engine on my Honda CG125, I`m sure it would help seeing how a proper engine is built when building these models. I enjoyed the pictures! |
