So how many posts before you actually put this thing into your car?

many more. This motor isn't going in any time soon unfortunately.

I see the passenger seat is missing. Did that method work well for hauling the engine?

Yeah. I had to jack the car up to get the cherry picker feet under it, but we just dropped it right in and I held it through the turns. Its now a utility miata.

Looking good hustler! :bigtu:

Ooooh its new! looks good

specs? work done?

basically a slight overbore to almost a 1.9 with the supertech pistons and CAT rods (which he said tested really well like the high dollar shit), knifed the crank, polished the crank journals, blue printed and balanced it super low (he was bragging about how low it went), cleaned up some casing irregularities (i couldn't afford a full p&p), new valve seals and all that crap, tapped for oil return and temp sensor, decked the head and block a bit to make it straight, provided mahle bearings and crap, and assembled everything but the head to the block for $1296.

nice :)

Can I borrow it until you're ready to use it?:love:It'll be a year or so right? ;)

which supertech piston CR did you get?

it looks perty. and I told you, you didn't have to take the seat out. but I did also have to jack up the car to get the 'picker under the car.

that's a good price for all that work :bigtu:

I took the seat out, and ended up getting another identical set of pistons and after the machine work their right at 8.9:1.

I'm jealous! Looks good!

now we're off to the jet-hot coating party.

Looks good, who modified your VC? Did you really paint the teeth of the timing gears, i can't tell from here?

I did the valve cover with a circular saw...lol. I got overspray on the teeth, the timing belt will be just fine.

Ok, I give up. Do I have the wrong waterpump? I don't know where I'm going to mount the tensioner, I don't have an old one to compare it to, and I don't want to take apart my other miatas to figure this out.

Is the block painted or powder coated? Same thing for the VC? It looks very good!
