How much you need,for rings and shit I will float you.

[Eagle_Adam]

Ill have to check Rockauto again but about $140 ish for rings and bearings

[Eagle_Adam]

Got the old piston rings taken off, the wrist pins removed then reinstalled and lubed

 

 

Before and after cleaning and lube

 

Cleaned up the dizzy

 

Cleaned up the oil filter extender thing....

 

Then it was onto one of my favorite parts of a motor build!

 

Paint!

 

 

 

 

High heat primer

 

 

And then black!!!! Ended up going with a gloss black to match the black powder coat that's going on the oil pan

 

 

Yummy!

[Eric Garside]

How much you need,for rings and shit I will float you.

And people claim the old ratsun is dead... I call bullshit!

 

 

Looking good Adam! I was just kidding about the gf thing ;)

Hey big,

 

I ended up selling my Lmotor and 5speed tonight so I'm good to go on parts but thank you for your offer :)

[sedition88]

I may not comment very often but I've been watching your build, and I'm loving it. I'm planning on doing a twin cam KA in my 510, so I like to see what other people are doing. Keep up all the hard work!

[opalbeetle]

I do not comment often either. But, I certainly am watching your build. I like the way you document what you are doing. Makes it super easy to understand what your plan is and how you are executing it. Well done, Adam!
