Curly, there's a more obvious place for us older guys to drop 10#'s. LOL.

Nice to see youngsters doing quality work. Gives me hope!

 

bump for having no time to show the car any attention =/

 

just a little update...

Went and picked up a newer 99 head with solid lifters. Going to be a great boost build with the 94 bottom end and 99 head



Wheels have been ordered....ohhh boyy (If you already know what they are...DONT spoil the joke ------- )
Interior has been ordered and arrived, clean black carpet and clean black door panels
and last but not least...

These showed up today

 

Today I took the pistons to Polymer Dynamics (PolyDyn) in town to have a Ceramic coat put on the tops and a Teflon Moly coat put on the skirts



Here's a picture before the coating process:



And also lookie what came in today!!

 

Alright another small update. Finally got some decent damn weather to show the car some attention.

Replaced the door panels:



Started removal of the ugly tan carpet:



Aaaaaaannnnnndddd found this...





Gutted:


Annnnd afterwards I got a random feeling that i wanted to go buy into another hobby




And last but not least. The pistons are finally done and ready for assembly

 

Look what showed up today at work,

A Boundary Engineering Billet oil pump assembly.

 

Look what FINALLY showed up today

Diamond Racing Stock-Car series 15x10 -12 et and 15x8 0 et

 

Updates!

 

Alright the head is being worked on as we speak by a good friend of mine.



The plan is to keep the stock valvetrain, replace the valve stem seals, port and polish, 3 angle valve job and also last but not least. Cryogenic Treatment

I bought the head from someone local, claimed to have come right off a running motor...but from the pictures I'm about to post...you decide

It was pretty filthy







After removal of all the valve train came the jet wash and off to cryogenics

Here is the temperature data sheet the cryogenics place provided me. The head shell and parts were brought down to -300*F for 24 hours, then was slowly brought back up to 300*F and then brought back down to atmospheric temperature.



Back from jet wash and cryo



Onto the Intake manifold gasket matching


3 of 4 Intake ports matched


Also started on the combustion chambers



Exhaust ports being ported .20 over. Still needs media blast and polish


Aaannndd the valve stems showed up

 

hell of a deal and great work so far. keep up the good work.

 

Awesome! Did you find out the material number for the head? And the before and after hardness? I work at a heat treating plant. I used to run the vacuum department which is where our cryo furnace is.

 

Oh, and subscribed.

 

I did ask for a certification stating all of that important information, they haven't furnished me one yet.

So my only real proof it's that recorded temp/time sheet :/

 

Thats okay, I'll believe anyone the goes through the trouble of a wire tuck for his car to be sweet as fudge.

 

fudge makes me sick as ****

 

U homo? LOL

 

No homo. I love ze vajjiinn

 

Well its been awhile...time for another update.

Alek (AKA on the forum as 240Timmons) did my head for my Miata build, needless to say I am more than happy.

I bought this head from another Miata owner who claimed he removed it out of a running car. It was completely disgusting.

The services I paid for were:
Cleaning
Cryogenic Treatment (Recorded data sheet was provided)
Port and Polish
3 angle valve job
Supertech valve seals - Essentially a stock rebuild with some minor changes

Turnaround time was great. After cleaning the head he came across a valve that was bent on a level enough to bind during travel. Replaced the valve and kept going with it.

The port and polish came out great. I will have the head flow benched to show some CFM numbers after the headwork.

Onto the pictures!









After jet wash and cryo




Port and polish started







He even micro polished the solid lifters




After P&P, and deck






Onto assembly






After picking it up







And right after I brought it home the first thing I did was mock up my fuel delivery setup just for ***** and giggles. I'm diggin it




BIG props to Alek Timmons. Thanks again bud
