Project86- My first (and probably not the last) Rebuild - Page 23

project86 · 07-03-2010, 06:05 PM

for some reason i feel really wishy washy... maybe its not just me. haha this thread started out a 13B turbo build... now its secret kinda.. except for a few people know about. and now im going to be rebuilding my own engine just for kicks.

But the more and more i look around at parts for it the more i want to do a very thorough build on it even though its not my "main project". I mean, why not do both right? Im single i have plenty of time and money to piece it together.

advice? am i crazy? going retarded? or should i just do them both? why the hell not?

your secret project will take a few years to complete. In all honestly, I would buy another junk FC shell.... I think one in your town is getting pretty shitted on with an LS1 soon..... for some fitmet. I'll let you know through PM's what I mean, but.. if you're going to be building an engine, do it right. Especially if you're going to be running it for a few years while you do the real build.

sounds great.. will do. I definitely wanna rebuild the right way. im already doing some research. that racingbeat carb set up is looking really tempting.

only problem is i have no where to keep it if i buy it. would be cool though cause im sure there are lots of parts on it i could use...

chibikougan · 07-04-2010, 11:48 AM

I have a lot with many spots. I don't think at this point it will cost anything. I will talk to Pat tonight see if his Paps really wants it gone.

project86 · 07-04-2010, 05:08 PM

well let me know i guess ^^^

project86 · 07-06-2010, 04:14 PM

Here are some pictures of when i tore down my engine. Ill take some pictures of the housings and irons a little later. Honestyly everything in there looked great with the exception of the one port that i posted but ill be porting it anyway so that will be taken care of. Alot of the stuff even looked new.

Whats a good way to clean the housings? Im gonna hot tank the irons, a friend of mine has one at work. Rotors i started on. I got all the carbon off the faces but i need to get all the oil out of them.

project86 · 07-07-2010, 11:09 PM

im gonna give degreaser a try on the housings. Probably a simple green or something similar. that shouldnt be a problem should it?

WE3RX7 · 07-08-2010, 05:46 AM

I've used simple green on them before... power purple too... never had issues with either.

***TitaniumTT*** · 07-08-2010, 07:56 AM

purple power sucks, leaves a film behind. I like simple green, wd-40, non-chlorinated brake clean

project86 · 07-08-2010, 12:17 PM

ok cool. i cleaned out my dads garage last night so my whole eninge is in pieces on his work bench now haha. and ill be moving back home at the end of the month so ill be able to work on it as much as i want until its time for Air Force. Might even be able to clean up some of the car too as far as underneath goes. Well see.

project86 · 07-08-2010, 08:35 PM

Well got told not to come back to work today. I put in my notice 2 days ago cause im leaving at the end of the month and they wouldnt even let me finish the month out.... kinda sucks.

On the other hand my irons are getting hot tanked tomorrow. So they should be nice and clean like.

WE3RX7 · 07-09-2010, 05:57 AM

Power Purple, Purple power... is it the same stuff? White jug, purple lettering?? I didnt notice a film when I used it and the engine is still running today to the best of my knowledge, lol...

I do agree though, Simple Green is much better...

project86 · 07-09-2010, 11:22 AM

simple green it is then. here are a couple more pictures of the flares. this one is almost done. just a couple annoying spots im trying to work....
