Lol!
So, as Sloane said, I'll be helping him get his car back on the road, and into the 10's , he has to beat my 12.001 quarter mile time first!
Car is being prepped for engine bay painting, and I made up a booth to spray in (hung up plastic). Primer coat is down, just needs a sand and the silver base coat will go on tomorrow.
Engine wise, it will get the full build treatment, but keeping in budget constraints.
A few things to note with the engine upon pulling it down:
It was the stock 86mm bore, it was just honed when the arias pistons were fitted.
When Sloane had the engine 'fixed' by the last workshop:
Engine out etc:
They fitted JUN oil pump, no oil restrictor was fitted, just the stocker 2.0mm.
They changed the big end bearings due to a knocking, put in stock nissan bearings, mains weren't changed, they were ACL's and had scoring, probably from the first build...
For all that $12,000+ roughly.
The only things that I won't be doing will be block machining, crank balance etc. I need to clean the cylinder head, then send it in to get checked and skimmed.
