Since my insurance company wrote off my DD for a small dent in the rear bumper, I was down to my oil leaking ESi as my only DD. It's works fine, but will leak even more oil in summer, so I picked up a new used car for my DD. It's built by Fuji Heavy Industries (I've gone to the dark side) I've been doing maintenance on it, so I haven't been working on the TSi for a couple weeks.
Anyway. Ordered a bunch of new parts. This should be the last major purchase for this car, other then tires for the BBS wheels.
Mishimoto aluminum radiator
Fluidampr harmonic damper
Gates water pump
Gates timing tensioner
Felpro gaskets for pretty much everything
OEM gaskets for stuff Felpro doesn't make
Timing belt removal tools
Hyundai 6-bolt lower timing cover
Oil pan plug/washer
The timing cover was supposed to be Beck/Arnley brand, but the bag/stampings/decals tell me it is an OEM Hyundai cover. Part #0380265. It was like $33cdn on rockauto.com It's a perfect fit on my 6-bolt. I will do the Jafro modification to make this work with my 7-bolt mid cover. This involves cutting a good chunk of it off. I would have used the cover that came with my motor, but it looks like they didn't bother to use 1/2 the mount points and the pulleys cut grooves through it in a couple places.
The Mishimoto rad will get painted black to de-bling it.
No one seems to have any issues using Gates for a timing belt, or a water pump, so I decided to save a couple hundred and trust their timing tensioner over an OEM part.
Degreased my oil pan, hammered out some dents, hammered the flange back to flat. Scuffed the paint, cleaned it again, and gave the outside a couple thick coats of tremclad gloss black.
I pulled the valve cover off of the stroker motor to take a look at the insides. The baffles inside were loose on one corner, so I decided to clean up and use the Mitsubishi cover that was on my trash 7-bolt. Drilled out all the studs, and pulled the baffles. Degreased them both. I will media blast the outside of it, and see if my Tig welding friend can reattach the baffles. If I have to, I will purchase an aluminum baffle kit and get that welded back in. After that is done, I will reclean the valve cover, and powdercoat it.
