REconstructing Chris' Motor - Part 2

Last night was a late one and Chris is back at it again, working on the engine. All the machine work is done on the shortblock and everything is balanced and blueprinted as well. The final steps of the shortblock build should take place this evening and into tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly, as we are set to leave for Englishtown late Friday night!


Next up on the agenda we have one final check of all measurements and clearances along with a final cleaning. Then we will proceed onto the assembly of the shortblock.



We have been in time crunches before but these past two weeks have been super hectic! With the ENTIRE motor going we were basically starting from scratch. Add to that some collateral damage and we had a pretty big up-hill battle against time. Late nights, persistence and skill played a part in the reconstruction, however without the help we have received from some people this reconstruction would still be at stage 1!

We would like to thank the following people who allowed this rebuild to be possible:
-John & Ron from Race Engineering
- Vince Tiaga for the Arias Pistons on super short notice!
- Zeek from Ferrea
- Chris Harris from Xenocron for coming through with the head studs a few other much needed miscellaneous items
-And last but not least, Lars from Scorpion Race for being the baddest f*cker around!

HOPEFULLY (!) by this time tomorrow, in between the general work schedule, Chris should be degreeing the engine and getting it ready to be dressed.
