Yowzer Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah so I have many vehicles. This is one of the ones that has been sitting in the background for quite some time. Unfortunately most of the photos I have of it are on my laptop drive, which shat itself. So this car was parked up in '92, with some horrid bumpers attached to it. Looked like this in 2010 Anyway, R100 purchased it in a bidding war and decided he didn't actually want it, so Japawags purchased it off him. He also decided he didn't want it and traded it for my MS110, which I didn't seem to have much say in. So then it ended up in my garage where it sat for the next 3 odd years, the engine had been pulled out and sat under a carport with no sump or rocker cover, and was in a bit of a yuck state. I miss driving old cars so I figured it's time to give this old beast a second shot at life. So I pulled the engine apart. Oh hey there valve, you shouldn't be open.. The engine actually turned out to be in far better condition than I had thought. I was expecting the water galeries to be heavily corroded like my old under water 4M, but they were perfectly fine. No photo of that yet though. It's taking a bath Lol 2M crank? The bores are all good So yup, that's it for now. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Cylinder 3 has eaten an exhaust valve sometime in the past, damage ain't too bad but I'll give it a bit of a cleanup Head is coated in gunk [image to come] And I pulled everything out of the block to measure up The crank has a bit of pitting unfortunately, it's minor but will still require a grind I think. Some of the bearing shells are a bit worn too. Yeap. Fun stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Ok so where was I? It was dusty but I found an engine 5Ms are pretty gross but well whatever I like shit engines get over it already Kind of did some stuff and found some rust up under the front window thing I'm not a fan of rust so I pulled the rest of the front off because I'm not really sure why And then I moved away and haven't touched it for a few weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
