Project 9's No compromise !!!

Looks good. I need a used oven.

Used? What do you mean that's my oven. We made Ellios when I was done in that same oven

 

[TSIMonsteR]

Hah. I was wondering if you just had a spare oven in the garage, or if that was your main oven, . Everything is looking good so far.

Thanks and nope that is the main one. I've been busy but I actually picked up my 6 bolt shortblock I'm going to be disassembling and taking pictures of by like weds this week. I feel bad because the guy helping me finish this paint job keeps getting sick but this guy is killing my time table. I would have a lot more installed pics and less just parts pics but the shell is still at his house. I can drive over there and throw the front bar on but it's like why waste a trip it's just a cross bar. Anyone can see what it looks like installed from Paul's pictures. The rest i don't want to get damaged or paint on it so I"m just holding off.

I told you guys just a regular guy trying to build a fast car without compromising

Wait till you see it all together I"m just waiting for enough people to hop on this group buy on the link for aluminum rods and my b day is the 19 of feb so I should get enough money to finish the engine at least and get everything back together and in the car.

Thanks for the good words everyone. Looking forward to finishing this thing up and maxing out this hx52

Great build Slippi! Nice to see I’m not the only one that works on stuff inside, but tearing down a shortblock takes the cake. I’ve never attempted anything that ambitious indoors or out.

You might want to double check on the safety factor of using your kitchen stove. I swear I read or heard something about the chemicals being bad for you. Therefore, you’re supposed to use a different stove than you cook your food in. I could be wrong, but just in case I thought I’d mention it.

Good luck with the build!

 

[Slippi84]

To the stove and the chemicals being bad for you I wouldn't doubt it. That's why I let my gf use it and I use the Microwave j/k. I vented it out for about a hour and cleaned it after every use with disinfectants.

Update: I got the pump and balance shafts out and the block and crank are ready to go to the machine shop tomorrow to be hot tanked and the block bored 20 over. I might consider o-ringing the block if the price is right just for added security even though I have the Felpro performance HG and I will be using L19's.

Here's a 4wd 2900lb Saab 2.0L 4cylinder running 9.8sec with an hx50 and an 8300rpm revlimit. He ran out of injector at 700whp and only 33psi. . .

Classic Saab videos.

WOW! If I ever Even thought about tearing down a block in my house! ! I would be skinned alive then burnt at the stake, All while being forced to see my engine being sledge hammerd to death!

WOW!~ Your a brave man Slippi!

O and I love that pile of parts! Reminds me of my 1st and 2nd orders from Map, Slowboy and FP.

 

[yangtech]

My wife would kill me if I did that in the kitchen. Good progress.

I think the kitchen is ideal for tearing down and rebuilding a motor. Very clean, easy top clean up and well lit. It doesn't get better than that. I have had quite a few motors temporarily hanging out in the kitchen and I remember my dad doing the same thing way back in the day with his rally car motors. My dad used to always have linoleum floors in the kitchen so that they are easier to clean up than tile and grout. It is hard to get dirty oil out of grout. I remember once I spilled some nasty brake cleaner stuff that made the linoleum floor bubble up into this huge bubble that luckily just went down after a few hours and you couldn't even see where it had been. Not many people have a garage as clean as their kitchen.

I've never seen such a gratuitous amount of cereal in one place!

That's all my gf she's a big cereal eater. I'm just captain crunch and froot loops.

Just got off the phone with my machine guy I have to wait for my pistons so he can accurately bore the block so that clearance and everything is cool so next on the list is wiseco 1400HD pistons

[Jeffb006]

YOOOO!! What's up man? Yeah I hit up your old name on here asking about parts and quickly picked up on the fact that it wasn't you . I still need that stuff I talked to you about a while back so I'll be hitting you up as it's engine internal time.

 

[Jeffb006]

Sure thing buddy just let me know! I always like seeing customer cars coming together - you are the first that the place that is happening is the kitchen - it all ends up in the same place though!

Keep me posted - hit me up on aim or email sometime jeffb006, [email protected]
