Pictures of my rebuild in summer 2009

[mk3racer]

Here are some pics of the 7m rebuild that I did last year

short block with Probe pistons, ARP rod bolts, ARP head studs and Greddy 2MM MHG with copper spray

more..

Closeup of the pistons after grinding the thin edges off...

compare stock vs the Probe pistons...note the shorter skirt on the Probes...

polished crankshaft journals...

reconditioned rods...

The rebuild came out okay...I have 3K miles on the engine with no problems so far. I do have a leak in the CPS that I will try to fix by replacing it with a used one I bought from Ebay.
I run a 50 trim upgraded turbo with ceramic turbine, Lexus AFM with 550 FI with MKIV FP.

For those that are interested, I will be at HPDE 1 on June 19th Hyperfest at Summit Point WV.

Regards,
P.S. I hope I did the image posting properly.:icon_surp

looks like a good build, do you have pictures of your car?

i hope that copper spray you used was not on a new mhg

Sorry for not replying earlier, I didn't realize that a comment was posted to me until now. Anyway, yes the mhg was NOT new, it's a reused Greddy 2mm.
