The rebuilt head gets installed on the block with a new head gasket. |
|
The head bolts are torqued down per the specs and double checked for accuracy. |
|
More engine lube is added too the cam lobes. Engine hint, you can never have to much lube. |
|
The stock oil splash shield is installed and the oil pick-up is installed before I close the bottom of the engine with the oil pan. |
|
I had trouble tracking down an oil pump gasket which did not come in the gasket set I purchased. New pulleys, timing belt and water pump is installed and the front of the engine is almost finish. |
|
As you can see, I didn't clean the over- spray of burnt coolant off the exterior engine parts. My job is building them to run, not cleaning them. |
|
All the vacuum tubes are installed and it's time to drop this toy engine back into the the engine bay. |
|
Well what better way to break in the newly rebuilt engine by doing donuts at the race track with the miata? |
|
We spun the tires until they blew up! After the day of donuts, I changed the oil and gave the engine a check-up, everything looks great! |
