Specs are: 87 Sigma 2.6 wagon

Has had the 2.6 replaced with a 4g63 at some point

Front suspension is s13 hubs and coilovers with a31 arms. This needs to change for a wof

I havn't looked under the back end yet

It will end up being my daily once I sort the suspension (lift it slightly)

And finally a pic of half my fleet

Bought a 2nd hand engine with the intention of giving it a rebuild and found this:

the previous owner said the engine had been sitting outside under a tarp for 6 months. The rust cleaned up beautifully with a hone and there was no other signs of bhg

All done but, not without issues.

Noticed smoke from under the bonnet, pulled over and saw this:

Oil pouring from the rocker cover gasket. Got it home and pulled the cover to find this

When I put the cover on, the gasket moved and pinched.

Car goes way better than it did with the old motor and doesn't smoke. Not bad for my first full engine rebuild
