Over the summer I got rid of my e30 and stepped into this shitbox hatch:
which i hated with a passion.
I traded it for a complete sr20 swap, which had a built head but a blown bottom end. I picked up a better bottom end from Sean guynup, and i plan to hone that block and add new rings and bearings before i slap it together.
Im excited to be building an s13 correctly, i didnt like having a clapped out one in the least bit.
its got some rot that needs to be addressed, both frame rails and some on the roof. where can i purchase the frame rail caps that i see people using all the time?
First off, let me thank all the veterans out there, and all those still serving. Without them, i would probably not have the capacity to write this article from the comfort of my leather couch.
My birthday just passed, and my parents really went all out for no apparent reason and got me a tool chest. After assembling the chest and cleaning the garage, Tom and I mocked up most of the head to seewhat hardware I would need to order, to look for additional damage, and to mock up hose length for when we make my turbo lines out of braided line.
Additionally, my friends dad's friend was a machinist before he retired. had him look at the block, and he said that its in surprisingly good shape.
He said that a good hone will set me straight, and showed me how to use a stone hone (the three legged thing). I figured the moon was a good omen!
