Fuglychuki91 is on a distinguished road
So managed to get the motor in by myself the other day. I ended up replacing the pilot bearing using the ol greasy boi trick. Work like charm being my first time on a old ka. Anyway it came out in fragments haha.

White bunny comp clutch full face vs my old 6 puck. When I bought this like almost two years ago I didn?t really KNOW the difference at the time nor did I really drift like that. But whatever I?ll run it for now


Motor going in



Went to grand haven for a day trip sorta thing with some of my family and came back and got the harness in and managed a first start today. It has open headers atm so its atrocious but it sounds pretty healthy. Feels good to go from assembling a motor somewhat to being swapped into my car and running in less then two weeks by myself. Feels cool. But anyway, still a lot of tidying up to do and routing of a few wires.


What?s left is to do(no specific order)
Bleed clutch
Bleed brakes
Assemble the rest of the accessories(alt,belts,ps stuff)
Put some water in the engine
Fab up a flex pipe for the exhaust In place of cat
Bleed ps
Make some -8 lines for ps cooler
Break in motor/clutch
Install my sorry looking body panels
Swap some wires around for the pbm/yf gauges
Change oil once or twice before this event
Fill engine with good oil(gonna try redline 5w50)
Align car at work


If everything goes to plan I should have this thing pretty much back on the road within the next week. Cheers!
