My 95 Build

SanTa_ · Sep 26, 2008

Finally I'm revealing what I've been up to after all these months. It's been since January or something like that since I've sold my engine. Took down the car in the fall on 2007.

-manley SS stock sized valves
-manley titanium springs/retainers
-viton stem seals
-bronze guides
-3g lifters (revised for no ticking)

90 style oil filter housing
ACL race main bearings
ACL .010 over crank/rod bearings
full balanced rotating assembly
.033 piston to wall clearance
.019 top ring
.017 bottom ring, if memory serves me correctly
all professionally assembled

Engine was align honed, bored with a torque plate.

All gaskets are OEM.

NOW: Summer 09

Car was relocated.

Finally finished the garage that I and a few friends (Erick, Kevin) have been working on. I finished it not long ago alone and got the car moved in today.

My dad's finishing up all the electrical work inside it, along with some new lightning for the night. ;]

After about a year of sitting it has moved!

USER_22 · Jul 31, 2009

Nice, keep us posted. I'm gather the stuff for my 99 GST AWD conversion myself.

asrdave · Jul 31, 2009

very nice looks like you are taking your time and doing it right

Bluefire16 · Jul 31, 2009

God i wish i had that big of a garage and a dd so i could pull mine and clean it....

SanTa_ · Jul 31, 2009

Will keep you guys posted.

Going to have to find a parts car. Return my FWD fly wheel that I just bought from MAPerformance. =[

Any one need a new ACT Flywheel Xact Street lite? $250 shipped. ;]
Since I will just be keeping my current AWD Flywheel already on the engine.

Or man I used to have it outside in my driveway. Never touched it or anything. Until I had the opportunity from a relative to use their garage. They told me clean it up and fix it and I can use the space. Funny thing is I use both the spaces. The other side I just have random junk laying around like any other DSM'er. ha

dsmlifestyle · Jul 31, 2009

Nice build. Working on anything outside in the snow sucks, there is nothing like the wrench slipping and frozen fingers coming to a sudden stop by a nice piece of unforgiving, metal.
