athlete3344 submitted a new DSM Profile :
Long awaited decade long project
Read more about this vehicle here...[DOUBLEPOST=1408246820][/DOUBLEPOST]I figured I should start a build journal, because if I dont now then I never will. I also intend to link a lot of the sources of information I find when I decide to go down a certain path in my build. If just one person can get a little bit of use out of this, I will be happy. Words can not describe how valuable these forms are.
When I was 17, I purchased my first DSM. It ran for a couple of years, then the oil pump seized and its been sitting ever since. I have been transporting parts from apartment to apartment through school, finding homes for the shell, and constantly looking forward to the day I could begin working on this car again. That day has came. I have finished school and have become gainfully employeed as a process engineer.
Now to the build, sorry for the randomness, posting as I finish chunks of work.
Engine bay empty and dirty. Before.
After. I used a couple shaker cans of primer, rust inhibitor, and flat black. On my next project, I will remove all the lines prior to painting.
This head was difficult to identify, but Im fairly certain is a 1g 6 bolt hyundai head, even though it has different sized exhaust studs. I watched Jafromobile's Cylinder Head 204 video and ported my head. . If you havnt watched any of his videos, stop what your doing and watch them all. He has an insane amount of knowledge, know how, and tutorial videos about the 4g63 engine.
Exhaust
Intake
I will upload a few more pics of progress eventually. Since these I have finished oil port mods on the block, taken a few passes over the combustion chamber to clean it up a bit, and gotten a ton of parts in.[DOUBLEPOST=1408283080][/DOUBLEPOST]For the oiling system, I enlarged the tear drop on the head from 0.058" to about 0.110". The main feed in the block also had huge chunks of casting, so those were removed and cleaned up a bit. Video reference:
There are also numerous threads by BogusSVO where he shows you step by step what to look for and how to do these mods. I prefer the videos because Jafro will typically give you more OEM spec measurements then necessary, but useful down the road.
