Things have been a little slow around here. Mostly due to low money. But all that money actually went to the car. I finished off my spare motor. While it is not the most ideal motor, it is a running motor non the less. After the fiasco with the galant, I decided to keep the short block as it was in good shape. But I have a good spare motor to take regardless when we go racing. Hopefully the 1.6L will last a while and I can learn with it. But I do have another 1.6L here as well. My goal is to get one more 2.0L next year.
Well nothing too special with this motor.
It is a stock 2.0L with the following-
.040 over topline pistons
Stock reconditioned rods
Clevite 77 bearings
Original oil pump to the motor
Balance shafts removed
-10 oil cooler provisions
-12 water pump provision
Brian Crower 280's
Conititech timing belt
-12 water neck(completely welded over)
-10 valve cover vent
Mitsubishi 4 layer head gasket
Stock head bolts at 110lbs
Highly modified 8 quart oil pan
Slight clean up to a stock head, and I mean slight
All exhaust manifold studs enlarged to 10mmx1.25
And just little tricks and techniques that I have learned over the years. Nothing special as you can see though.
The next step to start in about a week and a half is some of the streamlining and body panels for that. Including a stock front bumper that I am going to modify. That part I am not clear on yet, but should be fun. I am happy and sad that I am finished with my motor program for now. Actually about a year ahead with that. Too bad it is a stock motor. Oh well, it should work out for a while.
