Draker Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Fender needs to come out a few more mm. I'll try to use a jack to push it just a little more. Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 So the crossmember fits good?? I didn't get time to do mine.. It fits great. But it does need some longer bolts to mount. Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Glad the T3 mount finally showed up and fit well. Sorry EE couldn't come through for you. Quote Link to comment

I'm BLUE Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Double comment from me , but the paint looks great ! You put some serious time into the shine from the appearances :cool: Last time I did that was with my 81' rx-7 about 12-years ago... Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Beautiful. I love it. One thing, though. If you're going to use that head, I would recomment having the brass valve seats replaced with steel ones. My buddy just had to pull his head because the brass ones were too soft causing his valves to sink into the head. 2 Quote Link to comment

I did notice the intake valves sunk in more than the exhaust. 1 Quote Link to comment
docbainey Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Cool build What are those seats out of? 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks! They are Recaro LS seats. I believe they are just 70's aftermarket seats. 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Got a quote for $300 for machine work for the head.. I'll call a few other places. But if not like 50% cheaper I'll probably gonna pass at this point. Only takes about an hour to remove the head if I have an issue. Plus I bought engine for $100. This was suppose to just be rings and bearings. Not the best way to go about it.. don't follow my lead. I'll post compression numbers when the time comes. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Wow, seriously? Bring me the head.. my machinist will do it for less than a third of that. 2 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 .. or you could just buy a SSS head for that. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I know a guy that used to own a race shop which is now closed. He might be able to do it.. but (not lying) he has brain damage from a car accident(Not related to racing). I'd rather not fuck it up. I'm all ears if anyone has a better recommendation. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think the head is just going back together. Valve seem to be sealing okay after lapping. The seats really should be done, but not for $300. 1 Quote Link to comment
