Just an FYI on the wiring diagram guys.
Both the starter cable and thermo fan wire need to be tapped into and not cut and spliced.

Its not clear on the diagram.
I'll update the diagram soon.

Updates? Looks good so far.

I'll have something substantial soon.
I've been busy sorting out a number of business related problems, so the car has had to go on hold for a while.

Only just yesterday I finished assembling the aspire power steering rack.

I have the block and head at home now. But I've had to now get the tops of the pistons machined down 30thou because they stick too far past the block. I could use a thicker cometic gasket but it would affect compression.

As far as the wiring diagram goes, I'll fix that up shortly, but there won't be any major changes.

Oh... Also. I've started doing a wire tuck in the engine bay.


Anyway. I'm trying to tie up a couple of business deals so I can take a month or 2 off and finish this project off.
Fingers crossed I can get the time off.

That shaved head looks soooo sweet. So clean.. So shiney. Did I miss a block picture?

Here's some updates of what's going on in my garage.

Been real busy and have been doing things in dribs and drabs as I find spare time.

The block came back (6 weeks late). It was bored 20 thou to fix up my liberal application of the hone. It was also decked 15 thou as it wasn't dead flat.
This led to the new pistons sticking out past the deck and raising compression to over 9:1, so I had the choice to use a thicker head gasket or machine the piston tops.
I don't like adding thickness to head gaskets as this is known to increase the occurrence of detonation so I chose to deck the pistons.

I assembled the block


And had to tear it down again when I realised I lubed up both sides of the crank bearings. I know its pretty extreme, but spinning a bearing due to something I could've prevented would be unforgivable.

So I cleaned the bearings, lubed the right side, and reassembled the block.

Next was the head, along with a 40 thou cometic head gasket, and some ARP studs for good measure.


Not the best photo, but head is on


And yesterday I kept on assembling, and this is where I'm at (the yellow in the photos is from my work light. It turns all my photos yellow for some reason)

Its the halogen globes.. I have the same issue.. Best thing you can do is try the different filters til it comes across looking like a fluorescent light.. Or take a few sample photos until your happy. I bloody hate it too.

Best camera in the world my ass huawei.. My ass.

As much as I hate to say it. IPhone is the way to go

[gergorian]

Android 4 lyfe yo. jk Apple has its place but not in my pocket.

I'm just speaking the truth. I'm on my 4th android handset. They're reliable for about 12 months.
They must have a sh¡t yourself chip in them.

I've had Ericsson, Samsung, cheap no name brands, and even Google nexus.
All crap.
I've got an iPad, and it never misses a beat, even when my kids open every app and watch you tube with all the apps opened in the background.

My android tablet dies every time that happens

[jawbraeka]

Hrrrrrm .. They need to be rooted to make android any good.

Cyanogenmod 11 is apparently pretty reliable, and is being recommended as the first android ROM outside of googles lineup to be considered stable enough to be included with android phones..

I've used it and tbh.. Beats the too out of stock android and any other ROM for android.. Even has a simple to install process too.

I've got 5 android phones to tinker with. But the app I need for my business works better on iPhone. So iPhone it is

[jawbraeka]

Ahhhh OK.. Well when you get a spare minute, have a tinker and see what you think.. Also there is a mention that cyangenmod is being written for apple too.. Not saying put it on apple.. Tinker with the androids an see if you like it.
