Thanx- I've put the bodywork on hold for the most part... I just want to get this motor done and installed, then I can focus on making it look less ugly. That'll include 18" wheels, a factory color repaint w/ painted mouldings, and new trim for the front and rear glass.

Slow progress... It seems like nobody wants to talk to me on my work days, but as soon as my day to work on my car rolls around... BAM! Everybody wants something! Anyway, I did some final porting to my head today, just a bit to clean up the area around the valve guides on the intake side...

Werd- Take the starter out, clean the solenoid contacts with some emory cloth/sandpaper, do the same to the plunger, clean out any particles, and lube the plunger shaft. OR, you can completely replace the contacts for about $14.

If it's a Miata, I'd put a rotary in there. I think it would sound great, and you'd make more power than you could use.

Keep it simple and cheap; Retorque your HG Shim the wastegate with 2 -3 washers get a real downpipe and exaust if you can afford it get a free-flow intake This alone will give you 30-50HP, I imagine.

No, I believe you can use a LEX housing, and the supra electronics, but not the other way around. Just buy a MAFT, dude. http://www.fullthrottlespeed.com/itemdesc~CartId~%7BC2AABB85-DDEA-43D8-BB69-2BDC92C18EVEREST7B1%7D~ic~050SUPRA3MAFT~eq~~Tp~.htm

Does the 60-1 use the same oil feed/ returns as the CT? I'm thinking one end of that feed/return system is what's oiling you up like that. I've had a bad return gasket, and it can pump out quite a bit of oil.

yup, its your starter contacts, in the solenoid

YOU best check the service manuals. 100 hr inspections are ONLY required if the aircraft is used for hire. There is NO such thing as a 1000 hr inspection. If you are referring to an annual inspection that is done as implied, once a year. Do you know what the difference is between the two...

Really? What is the max life cycle on a Cessna, or a Piper airframe? A wingspar? because I've never heard of either being replaced because it reached a certain age or time in service.

jt2ma71: You've got parts for that car that I didn't even know could be purchased! And those that weren't available, you apparently built yourself- a billet oil pan?? I think that......mmm....wait....yes- YES.... I truly hate you. My car isn't even worthy of running your used break-in oil. I...

I don't see any installed pic....?

Well, I haven't installed the valves/springs yet, but I did install the Kaminari wing: Deck before install- You shoulda seen the nappy Mk IV wing that used to be on here... The wing, pre-prepped. Installing the mount system into the fiberglass- didn't want to just 'bondo' it on...

:word8kn: That's the beauty of an impact gun- it places the torque exactly where you need it, on the nut.

Dude- I never heard that before. Of course, I only have 296,000 miles on my car, so I'm sure they're fine....:naughty: But now I gotta go outside and check them!

Yeah- My buddy just removed my alt. pulley for me w/ an impact gun in like .2 seconds. Otherwise(as Jetjock said) you've got to find some way to keep the shaft/rotor from turning, like sliding a screwdriver into it WITHOUT damaging it. Easier said than done.

As far as starting and then bogging out, it sounds like the afm is not right, or not plugged in securely...Also- check the multi-wire ground below intake runner #6- that is always a problem area in starting/ running.

Aside from the hyrogen-erator, I assume you would need a compressor/pump to run it up to the manifold, and some type of nozzle injector to the mani? Also, how do you safely pump hydrogen, without worrying about spark?

If you don't already have the bearings, PM me and I'll show you a place you can get them (front or rear) for 1/4 the Ebay price. : )

Yeah- A LOT of love went into that engine bay...
