I got an awesome package!!
.
can you guess what it is?!?!
Alrighty so lets get this Engine together. I took everythig down to my old workshop where they have a dyno room that i could use for dust free goodness.
Here we have the p72 head, skimmed with Brian Crower flat head valves, Brian Crower Dual valve springs, titanium retainers and the oil hole blocked off.
.
.
The block, nice and shiney bores
.
Love this shot
Here i just dummy fitted one piston so i could clay the motor for piston to valve clearances.
.
there was plenty of room in there so i got the pistons and rods pressed together and started on putting it all together.
Here we have the bottom end all together, acl bearings, balanced crank, pistons and beam polished and shot peened rods, ARP rod bolts and ARP head studs.
.
now to put the head on the block
.
Cams in, belt on, using standard cam gears for now, new oil breathers in the back, oil line for the VTEC YO, had the get a new speedflow T piece cause i some how broke the brass one that came with the kit :P
.
At this point i had to take everything back home now so loaded up my poor little civic
.
it kind of sounded like the car was going to break in half when i left the workshop :|
Now i could get back to putting everything back onto the engine
here you can see the oil breathers piped up and the VTEC oil line has a bit of steathy protective black piping over it to protect it and not show out.
Got the new chromoly flywheel and 6 puck clutch on there and the new built gear box ready to be mated together
Now before i put all this kaos into the engine bay i had to find a nice place for the catch can, that i painted BLAAAACK for steathyness
.
After this i didnt like how the pipes were going up wards so i turned it upside-down and drilled a new hole in the side of it for a bigger fitting, so now all you see it a black square box =D
After much buggering around it finally sits in its place
.
Its all in and together, got new spark plug leads and you can only just notice the catch can in the back there =]
.
Just another awesome shot
.
Surprise!! Enkei RPF1 16x8 +35
