Oh the joy of cleaning engine parts as you wait for the block, head, crank, and flywheel to get back from the machine shop. |

The pistons started off very dirty, and will a little love, and an oil ring groove cleaner you end up with a nice clean piston head. |
|
Look what I found next to the fireplace this morning. Looks like Santa Claus came early this year! Miata parts! |
|
A few weeks later, the engine parts came back from the machine shop. It's time to throw a engine building party! |
|
We start on the bottom of the engine with the crank bearing, and some engine lube. |
|
The polished crank gets installed and more engine lube applied. |
|
The main caps go back on, and the pistons with the new rings get installed. |
|
New brass freeze plugs are installed and the machine shop painted the block any color the spray gun had in it that day. |
|
The cleaned and polished block sure does look brand new. |
|
The head also looks brand new. A simple valve job and decking the head makes the head ready for reassembing. |
