started to tuck some wiring out of the way that i hacked together this spring and i got my pistons in from Tyson....

 

so i took the miata lifters out this weekend and measured to the skyline lifters.

The skyline lifters are 32mm OD and the miata ones are seemingly smaller (have the numbers written down in my VW) but if memory serves right they are 29.1mm OD.

i will be talking to Bill Wilner of MiataRoadster to get some mazda comp lifters now that these dont fit :(

Also i just received my COPS from gospeed81 and im cleaning those up tonight so i can build my sequential COP harness.

 

someone tell me if i am insane or not....


IS THIS A LONG NOSE CRANK?

I think its not, but i have a pic to show that makes me think that im crazy...



ok now here is the pic thats making me second guess my thoughts... a 2001 VVT engine from ebay....

 

Do you have a pulley that fits the crank? If it has 4 big slots, it's a short nose. If it has 8 smaller slots, it's a long nose. I don't think the short nose crank pulley will fit the long nose, so if you have a pulley that goes on, it'll be the right one.

 

I think you're right seeing as they're different part numbers.

did some stuff at the shop today...
this is the shop for those who commented before


my crank pully... with the info above it is a long nose...



but when you look up close... it doesnt look like it would be a long nose...

thats a nice steering wheel

 

if you want it, make an offer...

i wouldnt mind swapping for a leather wheel

 

your steering wheel is on the wrong side...

 

How much did you get that engine for?

 

500us + ship...from quebec

 

That's pretty good. Was this a salvage yard or a one off thing? Mind PM'ing me his ebay page if you have it?

 

Can anyone verify that my above picture is long nose. It looks short to be a long nose.

 

Madafukkas... Vevies Tee just arrived...
I am excited.

 

nerding it up at lunch.... EGR delete plates to be sent out for VVT intake manifold.

 

Isn't it getting really cold up there now?

 

it was 1 degree celcius this morning and its the warmest day of the week (33F)

it will be cold... i need to get the engine in so i can tow it all to my heated shop. (which is further from me...)

 

Hollaaaaa...light grey, easy to spot leaks... unlike dark green.

Engine should be in soon, when i get engine mounts.

still have to do the frame rails and the other side of the engine bay....

 

Does anyone know where i could find a 1" rubber plug to plug the firewall where my AC lines used to be?

 

any auto parts store should have grommets...even like ACE hardware.
