DatWifey Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 do you still want this hood that we have? If not, the dude that I picked it up from had mentioned that another guy here in Everett had wanted it, but never got a chance to go up and get it, so I could probably offload it to him. No biggie either way. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yes I want the hood. The scoop will be perfect for the supercharged Ka I'm going to make. I'm hopin I can come get it monday Quote Link to comment

H5WAGON Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 This thing came out of the back way easier than I thought....without a cherry picker. Looking it over... Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 ya, his wagon was about damn near perfect height, the stand just rolled right in Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 So. Once the wife gets home I'll be starting my tear down of the motor. Removing the intake. The head, the oil pan, might make It to the crank depending on how much time I have Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Do it do it do it. Pictures required though. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 don't forget to mark the piston/crank caps and where they came from/direction, yo. Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 What's the history on this thing? Does it really even need to be torn down or are you doing it just for fun? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I hope the reason there is no updates yet is because you are out in the garage wrenching still. Quote Link to comment
devilsbullet Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 probably lol. sounds like a good project to be goin on man, gl with it. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Mike helped me adjust my valves in the l20b and it really helped a lot, good to know this motor will really hold up a while, sounds way better, feels more responsive, everything inside looked great Then we took some more stuff of the Ka, pretty fun evening 1 Quote Link to comment
H5WAGON Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yeah, there was gap as the cam was almost to the the top of the lobe(1/2 way), so valves were opening late....and some were not fully closing. Engine seemed to smoke less after Erik did a few fly buys of his place on Glisan....And yes it did sound good.! Had some fun after that opening up the bottom end on the KA Looks like #2 rod cap bolts let loose... Quote Link to comment
