DIY Engine build

Recommended Posts

Thought I'd start a thread for my latest project, I'm rebuilding my old engine. Tlicense beat me to it with his thread, and I haven't got his patience with taking loads of photos, but I'll try and document as I go!

 

I'm going to build it myself in the garage, the spec is going to be:

 

Block:

  • JUN 87mm forged pistons
  • Carillo forged rods
  • Power Enterprise rod and main bearings
  • ARP main and head studs & nuts
  • HKS 1.6mm headgasket

 

Ported head with:

  • Ferrea 1mm oversize intake & exhaust valves
  • Ferrea dual valve springs
  • Ferrea valve guides
  • Ferrea locks, retainers and valve seals
  • JUN 264 intake/exhaust cams
  • JUN cam gears

 

So, let's start with the obligatory pics of shiny new bits to get things started! ;)

First thing you need to do something like this is a clean garage. A while back I moved everything out, cleaned the floor and painted it to get rid of dust.

 

I've stripped the block and head right down (no pics, sorry!) already. It's going to the machine shop next weekend. While it's there I'll sweep the garage and clean it up again.

 

First pic is my garage, the others are the block and head as it is now, stripped.
