My 92' Talon TSI AWD project.....

[lilzig]

I have no pictures yet...
But i did take the head off and sent it to the machine shop. I'm getting stainless steel valves because all of my other valves were bent when i bought the car.
I am also getting all new valve guides, the head is getting port and polished with a 3-angle valves job. I am keeping the stock springs and retainers for now...
I just ordered ARP head bolts, a head gasket set, water pump belt, and also am looking to purchase a radiator. The pistons were knicked but not the edge of the piston head..
I am posting pictuers eithers tomorrow or saturday...
Is there anything i am missing to complete my little build?

why are u porting and polishing? will the flow test it before and after? also 3 angle valve job is considered a normal valve job. Water pump belt? u mean timing belt? make sure u get the rest of the components and decide if u want to do the BS delete or not. What head gasket did u get?

You could go for some 3G lifters.

a fel pro HG.... 3g lifters? the water pump runs off of the timing belt?

 

[-TunedDSM-]

No the water pump is not driven by the timing belt.

No the water pump is not driven by the timing belt.

Thank you very much i was woundering who he thought he was.... so yes the water pump belt and what ever else it runs....

The lifter on the left is a 3G lifter the one on the right is OEM. 3G lifters doesn't refer to lifters out of a 3G eclipse, rather the 3rd generation design of the lifter. As you can see the oil port is much bigger than stock so it doesn't tick so bad.
