KELMO Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Ron1200, don't know if it was on CL. The guy lives in my hood and I actually bought some 1200 stuff from him years ago when we both lived in different hoods. He was asking for 1500 but I talked him down a little bit.

KELMO Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well, ordered gaskets, main and rod bearings, piston rings..figure I'm good right? Wrong. Holy pistons batman..... So, then I ordered pistons, figured I'd get em in about a week or so.....wrong. Check on the order and says it is canceled....dang, can't call til tomorrow. So today I go to my buddies place who used to own my other coupe and we gett to talking about the green one and how I am in need of pistons.....long story short, he has a set of OEM std and 1st oversize. Socre I say Quote Link to comment
H5WAGON Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Cancelled order, pistons from a friend...Winning! Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 pulled out the pistons today.... 3 out of 4 pistons were similar to this one (came outta #2 hole), 1,2,and 3 all had no top piston ring and # 4 was in 2 pieces and 4 or 5 small bits. No small pieces in the pan so I think this motor was run for some time in this condition. Got some cleaning to do while I am waiting for rod and main bearings. 1 step farther. Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 OK, the weather is gettin better and I been in the garage all winter....tryin to find a decent motor. The third one I tore down seemed to be usable. torn down and cleaned cleaned, honed and painted. I'm close to being done building this one just gotta find my other oics....then its on to the transmission Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I guess the original block was toast then. With pistons that far gone from detonation I'm not surprised. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Yep, one or two of the cylinder walls had not just some scoring but more like a valley running through em. If I get motivated today I should have the motor done and ready to install. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 well, I was only half way motivated today. got some more parts to clean Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Little bit more this weekend one out...one ready to go in glad I found this before installing the motor installed.....and it runs So, I built this motor for the green car but installed it in the grey car because I didn't want a fresh motor sitting around 6 or 12 months and the one that was in the grey car was starting to sound a little haggard. If I get motivated next weekend.....the tranny is coming out of the green one.......IF Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Right now I have no room either. Had to rent another storage unit to put parts from the green car in and just bought a 510 goon, so yeah, my garage is full and my car fund is empty. Quote Link to comment
