Motor #2... in the trash

[Kaan]

James Evans had a spare ITA block at his shop. Its got a fresh oil pump, water pump, bearings, rings, forged pistons, and is .40 over. It is ballanced and blueprinted as well... he wanted $700 for it... and he is throwing in a header with it....

the head of the motor that just melted down is going to a shop in fredneck for a partial ITA build... bascially just decking it to ITA spec, hot tanking, new valve seals, new cam seals, and a valve job.

The block that just melted down will go on the engine stand. I will learn to rebuild motors with it... at least bottom ends. I'm planning on picking up the propper tools to blue print the bottom end... i might send the pistons out to get ballanced... I have a spare Y8 head that will eventually see much of the same work the A6 head is seeing. I'm hoping to finish up the mini me by the summer... and have a 13:1 compression 7.5k red line mini me to blow up.

I've wanted to learn how to build motors for a while now. This just gives me a chance to learn... I'm going to try to build a little setup down in the 3 car garage... the work bench and all... we'll see how it goes. i have to learn to pull a cam cleanly so i can send the Y8 cam out for a regrind though... last time i did it on an A6 head shit went everywhere...
