Assembling my MOTA

heres the block back from the machine shop a second time. We mocked it up after the first time to see just how much we could remove off the block to raise my compression.

heres the new crank set in place

heres the crank and bearings in place
head set in place

the back of the motor

and the head bloted down with the JDM GSR cams and adjustable gears

heres a shot of the clay in place inside the quench area and valve reliefs

this is what we have after engaging vtec and spinning the motor over

all the clearances on this bugger are freakin tight so im adjusting and re claying alot to ensure proper clearance and maximim compression. Remember every time you clay you have to dissasemble the head and reassemble it to propper tourqe specs. Its a loooooong process but itll be worth it to have the extra compression.

hey ive seen that block before hehe looks like its come along way since i was there last...

nice disco nice everything looks clean
so what shop did u send that to

Cams in Crestview did the work I believe Frank from the old valve tech did the work. He came out the on tuesday to help out in the assembly process too. It was super cool of him.

so they do good work ehhh i was thinking of using rpm for my rebuild what do u think of them....maybe i should go with cams instead

instead of who is the question. I will use them from now on they are very professional and quick to get work out. Like I said Frank from cams came out to help when we hit a snag. thats prety cool in my book

looking good man, im off work, give me a call if you need a hand.

I wish I had a...what do you call that thing dave? oh yeah, a career.
Such a nice car.

keep up the school work and one day you will have waaaay more than me

well i finished clearancing the pistons yesterday and i ordered new rings that should show up by the end of next week. I paid for 3 day air but they have to be custom made since the piston I have was discontinued shortly after I bought them. So Iwas right itll be a couple more weeks before its all done. Not only do I want to clay the motor one more time to get a final measurement so I can determine how much cam timng I can adjust to I also still have to install my MSD system. Drop the motor in the car, and get it dynoed all over again since we will be making some drastic changes to my origonal set up. Like the compesion bump and more agressive cams.

ilu.

you geeks using all this intranat jargin... whut in tarnation is "ilu" "lawls" im not up with the intranat slang. damn E-boniks

im diggin it fa realski.

I just hope I dont have to do it again any time soon and that beeatch goes into gear.

yea foreal i hope everything goes well for ya man u surely do deserve it. then maybe finnaly u will be able to roll with me

we can only hope

Dave, what is your compression ratio going to be at now?

somewhere in the 11to1 range

cant freaking wait.

Im cheking the mail like an excited little boy awaiting christmas teee hee
