been working on late model racecar.
been working on Kia sportage.
been working on RHD car.
DD lhd celica has broken timing belt I haven't gotten to yet.

Aside from having the BEAMS for this motor kinda tore down on the timing side with a few exceptions and some small patching on the above subframes done. Progress has been minimal. But I've been collecting parts gradually. Bought a Walbro 190 lph inline fuel pump for racing fuel cell. So we're getting there. If I could ever just dedicate a weekend I could probably get the thing on it's wheels at least. Just too many cars to work on right now that all broke down at the same time kindasad.gif

With a title like that, I can't believe I've never seen this thread!

Oh well, watching for whenever updates happen down the road smile.gif

lmfao. Actually yeah. He's been working on his late model, turnip has his racecar for sale, and I delivered the timing belt to the motor last weekend. So the motor saw its timing belt for the first time. that's the thing that needs done along with the RHD car. Will likely find a couple weekends as soon as he empties the garage of seasoning lumber and knock it out....

basically have to wait until the fork lift can navigate in the shop aka wood gotta go.
Finally got the bastard crank pulley bolt broke loose. Had to get very creative. Was also very lucky.

How tight are these things 300 ft lb? my god.

Next time I'm out at the shop we'll get the timing belt actually changed and all bearings inspected so I have 'some' confidence in the fact that when racing it'll all stay together.
I had to put bot axles in the tranny, the engine is still strapped to its shipping pallet, I then put pipe wrenches on the axles and ratchet straps around the axles to tie them to the pallet to prevent them from picking up, then I had the 6 pt socket on the bolt head and a 2-3 ft cheater bar and almost my whole weight before it creaked.

unreal.

Moral of the story. ALWAYS use the starter motor method when possible
Checked everything on the timing side of the motor today. Didn't find anything worth replacing. Buttoned it back up. Time to strap it to a sub frame.
