any new updates?
what do you have planned this week? |

Work, work, and more work. I want to get the old engine and trans off the craddle so it can be sanded down and painted. Then I need to remove the extra stuff we need off of the old engine. I also have to strip down the upper intake and repaint it. While the paint was drying the wind kicked up and leaves blew and landed on the intake, The paint was still wet so they stuck. I pealed them off, but I can still notice where they were. It is bugging me so I am going to repaint it.

Hey Craig,
Keep up the good work. Engine looks sweet.
You mentioned shaving heads, i am pretty sure that guy i bought the car from also shaved 'em. Even tho i dont have a recipt he told me he did so. I dont want you end up shaving them too much. Are you planning on checking the heads?

He had the heads resurfaced to make them straight and free of any imperfections. He did not have them shaved. Heads are going to be checked prior to doing the work. You also have some broken exhaust manifold studs that are going to have to be removed and heli-coiled. So you should also get some exhaust manifold studs. You can get them from Rodneys.

Get a set of manifold studs. The new engine is a 86 block, so that is what year you have to get the oilpan for.
Wait until I get a complete list of parts together before ordering, this way it will save money on shipping and handling.

i just looked at the engine ( again ) and thought about the intake. I think that 30 dollar ebay crx cold air intake would look nice in there being aluminum, all shiny.
