So, I built a motor. Then I put it in. It runs.

1.8L 1mm over
FM Wiseco 9:1's
M-tuned rods
ACL bearings
BE OPG's
ATI Super damper
99 Head
ARP head studs, main studs, rod bolts

2.5 months from blown up to built motor.



Now, if I can just figure out why my timing belt wants to walk off the gears.

 

Give the video a second, it's processing.

 

great work! congrats

 

Thanks! You're from louisville? I'm down there all the time.

 

Needs moar valve tick...

Seriously - well done. Still building mine and I hope it runs as smooth as this.

 

Have you retensioned the timing belt? Seeing as though your engine needs to be runnning for a timing belt to walk off the sprockets, this thread isn't very epic.

 

Not yet, I took this video yesterday before it started walking. Way to poop on my party.

 

That's something I hadn't even thought about. I guess you're right, the lifters aren't ticking at all.

 

99' + heads have solid lifters therefore it never ticks!

 

/facepalm lol yeah I forgot.
