"might as well..." ;)

You going to be able to run it this weekend, Sean?
No it won't be running for a couple more weeks, I have to measure my deck height on the head and block, then see if I can run a 1.0mm headgasket and clear my valves and what not.

The Celica was just a "warmup" engine, then. ;) Raise that fuel cut and have some more nascar fun!

Ah, so I might just have a chance still! I'm beginning assembly and measurement tomorrow, if I can get my hands on my buddy's torque wrench. If not, it'll just keep my basement looking awesome longer :)

Yeah I won't have all my pieces until next wednesday to finish my engine.

Jeremy you want that trigger wheel setup? I might make a different one here again.

Another one? What are you doing to it now? Dual pickups/teeth counts for better resolution at high rpms?

just let me know how much, and i get that from you
I need to finish making another trigger wheel before I sell this one.

I am also about 50% done with making my big brake kit caliper hangers.

Made from solid billet aluminum, I will take pictures of an almost finished one and post it tonight.

And I will NOT be making any for anybody regardless of what you will pay so don't waste your time asking me to make you one.

Going to HeliCoil the bolt holes Sean?
I planned on annodizing the block to give me a harder surface for grabbing. I also used a coarse tap to give it some good bite, and will be using industrial strength lock tite.

It is not all set in stone so changes can (and likely will) be make.

Anodize doesn't make material stronger just makes it more wear/abrasion resistant....fine thread is generally stronger within reason funky:-(....locktite won't stop threads from deforming.

You really should coil them...it's not too late.
