Well... pics to come, but I discovered I have one of those rare 7M cranks... too bad it's ruined by spun rod bearing. Piston one... only half of a bearing left.

oooo subscribed for awesomeness!!

I think it's because it acutally pulls on the edge of cylinder one, so if you leave it off during machining, sylinder one will deform slightly when it is torqued down later. I think.

Also make sure he has a torque plate. And have you considered a crank scraper? At high power levels I'm fairly certain a good crank scraper will make a HUGE difference. Also there are really great piston/eagle rod combos for sale on ebay. I just purchased my JE pistons with Eagle rods from...

Sup guys, just wanted to let ya'll know I haven't forgotten you =D I shall have sexy parts pictures posted here soon. Right now I am in a waiting mode for parts and for the torque plate. As far I have researched, I have determined that the machine shop will need to torque to specs the torque...

have you tried shaftmasters?

SO YOU'RE THE ONE THAT TOOK THE PLATE!!!! hahaha jkjk. I'm seeing some similarities in our builds =D

Thanks guys!! PM'ed him. We'll see what he says =D

Hey guys, as stated above, I'd like to borrow a torque plate if at all possible. I am willing to pay a deposit of whatever you feel is within reason. I would prefer if you could ship it ASAP as well, I will pay for shipping. I am hoping to get the car running by march and they guy helping me in...

::hah:::runaway: LOL!!!! :: dothewave :: <--- only have this one because I saw it and it looks cool.

LOL. I am proof that Asians get rod knock too... quite the interracial bug we have here.

From what I have heard in the past, the ebay silicone kits are not bad at all (especially since it's the only place you can find kit for our cars). I actually started a thread not too long ago about a different ebay kit, but it was a no namer brand...

So I take it this coincides very well with breaking in a new engine as well?? sorry to thread jack

^wut he said For the OP, both Aaron and Mary at Driftmotion are awesome to deal with, don't hesitate to do business with them (besides, they have like... EVERYTHING you could ever need)

Nothing wrong with an auto... especially if you're keeping the power level to 500ish. The few mods necessary to ensure the tranny can handle the power while performing well are much less expensive than a manual conversion. And the plus-side? have chance to go fast, mash throttle, uninterrupted...

Shortage of funds... = motivation stretched thin is ur 2j all reassembled yet?

LoL do I need to stop by and help the cause? My motivation is partly due to me feeling myself getting used to the SC :(

Haha thanks!! by motor swap I assume you mean forsaking my 7M??? NEVAR!!! LoL and for the interior... I do plan on gutting it, redoing any wiring that needs done, maybe stitch welding, removing all the old nasty sound deadener and replacing with newer more effective and much lighter material...

Oh thank you!! I found a similar thread on SF, but it was not as detailed as the one you provided. I haven't yet had a chance to tinker with the wires yet as I'm still focused on just getting the car running, but I will definitely refer back to said thread when it comes time for me to do the wiring.
