I have purchased OEM oil pump case, water pump, and all timing belt components. I also purchased Fluidampr and Gates timing belt. The cylinder head will be sent out this week. I received the oil pump gasket wet. Is the gasket ruined? It’s green and feels like plastic.

I actually saw that car in person when it was being parted and it sure is a nice car.Good luck with the build man

man i wish my car was that color.

Best color hands down, when I was looking for a dsm I knew it had to be white. Awesome build thread, you will have a bad ride when you're done.

2G,EVO3,1G,Magnus Cast V3





Excuse the mess; I was still cleaning.

I will add pictures for the Noobs. I found myself asking simple questions when I was a noob. I will try to help the community by posting pictures to help the noobs. I will try to post step by step install.

I sent out the cylinder head and had it rebuilt. I had the following service performed:
Clean/ hot tank
Visual evaluation/ inspection
Deck resurfaced for MLS
5 angle valve job
Bronze valve guide installed

Port and polish:
Gasket match intake
Contour ports
Blend seats into bowls
Unshroud valves in combustion chambers
Knife Edge divider port intake & exhaust

Install HKS 272 cam with lifters/rollers
Enlarge Main Studs holes to 12mm (accept 6bolt head studs)
Install 1 Time Cert for the valve cover.

Before:





After:

I received the rebuilt head a couple days ago. I need to buy arp ultra torque lube and I want to have my torque wrench calibrated. I been trying to find a place where they can calibrate the wrench for a reasonable price.

I wasnt to partial to white but i must say after seening this 2g im starting to dig it.

I received my calipers and I am waiting for my valve cover.

Calipers look awesome nice build

man....white brembo's is where its at!

I agree.... The white calipers are sexy.

Good lord that magnus plenum is huge....I didnt realize they were that big

Build is looking great! have fun keeping the white calipers clean though

Brembo's + 2g = sexyness, love the white brembo's man, i cant wait to pick up a set for my 2g so it will stop like my evo used to

Part are for sale and listed below:

I have a collection of parts and waiting on parts. ex DG suspension
I think I will have the motor taken apart and put back together. (found dirt inside)
I wish I had time to work on the car

I have not given up on this car. I need to get the car running but don’t know really where to start.

If I have a rebuilt transmission with no oil in it and sat for 7 years. Will I have issues if I install it and just add oil? Or do I send it out to be inspected?

In the same boat. I opted to refill and roll with it.

Glad you stuck with it! I admire those who hang with these older cars and try and to keep them running and up to date. Hope to see more from you and your build.

I hope you get your car running and back on the road. It's been down for way too long now!

Soon, man, soon. If I pay the bills right, I should be able to buy everything I need by Feb.

I think I should start by selling things I don’t need for extra cash to finish the car. I was trying to build two cars at the same time so I pretty much bought two of each. I’m trying to find a place to finish my engine locally but I’m having a hard time. (DSM experience) I can go to RRE but I don’t know if I can afford them.
