Damn have I been MIA. Well not much has changed or been done with Shigemi. Been working on the garage and collecting tools, knowledge, and detail equipment since that's what I do for a living and started doing it on the side at home to make more money. Sold my Civic to get outta debt this past...
Woohoo it's finally disassembled! Next up will be taking the two blocks and the two heads to the machine shop to see which is better. Found out that rebuilt block is indeed a 7M crank so I'll use that one for sure. Debating on the use of the bearings that are in there they look to be good or...
Motor spins freely with the help of some WD-40! Thanks for the tips guys. Gonna disassemble it tonight and get it ready to take to the machine shop soon. Anyone know if Bryan Maloof is still doing work or a good shop in GA that is very familiar with 7M's? Thanks again.
Will get pictures up tonight. Busy yesterday with work then lots of house work. Now I'm back here on the grind at work again. Thanks for the information thus far guys. This community is so much better than the bullshit Honda scene I thought about being in.
Thanks 89niner that's more along the tips I was looking for. I bought it as a short block head and bare block. Both are assembled but seperate. I let it soak with a little oil last night about to go see if it's in a more manageable state now before work.
Thanks for the insight guys. This site is always very helpful and full of knowledge. I'll post pics later on of the block in question as well as my current MK3.
While this is true I honestly have no plans to go forged internals. I want a nice GT cruiser not a race car. LOL aiming for about 400rwhp and be dead reliable.
I bought a rebuilt block a week or two ago. Can clearly see that it has been rebuilt from all the markings on parts. Only problem I have is it was sitting in a storage for about 2 years. Any body have any tips on disassembling it without damaging it? It wont spin freely by hand because it was...
Been awhile since I gave an update. Well I think I will have the interior I need from a local member in a few months. I have the rear gutted and removed the old sound deadener and started installing Dynomat Extreme in the hatch area. I have spent most of this time working on fixing up the garage...
One for me so far. I don't wanna do it again. It was an 88 targa top blue on blue. I have most of the body panels that I pulled from it still. I'll see if I can get the pic off my phone of it's final ride.
