my n/a rebuild

[Nalleywhacker]

about 6 months ago i spun my #5 berring so iam in the process of rebuilding it iam useing as many old parts as possible cause of such a tite budget so heres some pics i took yesterday.


the block after some paint.

painted the vavle covers.

my head iam not replacing anything in it just some arp head bolts. its already had a port and polish and some custom colt cams put in about 30k ago

and my new crank in front the old one in the back. its was cheaper to buy a new one then to get the old one reground so.

and heres a pic of the car about a year ago.

#5 bearing decided to take a spin on you too? Both of my motors had the same problem.

Did you get the block checked out and new bearings put into the block? I noticed the build up at the top of the cylinders and what appears to be rust on the walls. Personally I would get the block checked out because it's always the little things that cause the biggest problems. I read that this build is on a tight budget but go ahead and spend the money on the block. You will not regret it later on. The first and best mod is a complete rebuild.

If I offended you my appologies.

no offense taken, yes iam getting new berrings for everything and yes that is a bit of rust it sat a little to long out of the hot tank before i got to dry it but that was before the hone it looks better now. thanks for the input.
