That's crap aye, hate that shit. If I get the S21 Prince Skyline I would take it there, I doubt half of them would even know what it was, let alone think is was Japanese.

Speaking of random cars (not that we were) saw a Ford today, about.. 60's vintage, massive motherfucker, 2 door with "Sports Coupe" badging on it. Fuck, I rofl'd. Middle aged cunt driving and his fat wife thought they were so pimp, which lead to more roffling. Almost pwned them in the tow truck, just for laughs/not at all.

Marshalling at racing tomorrow ftl, can't be fucked/can/last meeting of the season = awes.

In my experience I'd learned (the hard way) that getting your crank reground properly with new bearings and put together with assembly lube is one of the things you DO NOT skimp on.

All fun and games till you've gotta do the same motor again after 2hrs of running... Its so worth it just to spend the cash and get it done.

Chur man.

Anyhow, cant use hoist so taking engine apart to get it out. Heads ready to come off.

Recorded all my valve clearances before I took the cams out, they are hilariously far out.

Intakes should be .006" - .010"

Mine are between .021" - .023"

Exhausts should be .008" - .012"

Mine are .016", .017" and the rest are between .022" - .023"

No wonder it sounded like a sewing machine :lol:

Gutted about bolt snappage man. Looks like its coming along nicely other than that though! :D

Would be cool to see it out on the track popping diffs, hopefully with my car doing the same next to it! :P

Still not mint but oil free etc, few bits of gasket stuck on. Way nicer to work on when its clean though :)

Keen as to pop some diff's in tandem :twisted:
