Well guys and gals, it has been a long tough road for myself and my hi-po gokart. Got my engine back together after the rimco ream job fiasco--for those not in the know, they line bored my case w/o my express approval, then they did not tell me about it, and they also neglected to charge me,......guess they knew they made a mistake and decided to plead the fifth or something
Anyway, after the complete teardown of my motor for the second time I decided it to be in my best pervue to just go ahead and do a blueprint job as best I could. Well, when I finished with it everything fit like a glove.
Before I go any farther I want to give a very big THANK YOU! to my fellow teenerphile Nando, AKA--- martinf. If it were not for you buddy, I would not have been able to do it.
We actually got a pretty late start--about 3 pm. I still had allot of little work to do before the motor went in, that and my constantly going back to various vendors for stuff I should have bought when I was there 20 mins ago,,oh well, sigh---The heat was extraordinarily hot today, with the humidity factor making it around 110 in the shade--I actually drank more water than beer this time...go figure...
Well, here are the specs of my new motor:
9.5:1 compression
Pop-up pistons
stock 66X90
Scat C20 Cam
single hi-rev springs
Web lifters
Rebuilt and ported heads, stock valve sizes
Dual weber's rebuilt with 50 idles, 200 air correction, 125 mains, 28 vents
Short intakes
2.0L head pipes and monza mufflers ( waiting for $$ for KH exhaust )
I also meticulously sealed all the tin as it was being assembled, I also sprayed expanding foam behind the plenum to absolutely seal any and all possible leaks of cooling air--
About to hook up my gauge pod consisting of head temp and oil press from our morph and spectra peeps--
Tomorrow I should have it running!!!!!!
Here are some pics --the guy is nando---thanks man again!!!
UPDATE--just as I was goign to start uploading pics, my puter decided to puke them out somewhere in nether world, sorry, have to wait till later--
Black Sabbath update this....black Sabbath udate that....Where the fudge are the pictures at? I'm caling shennanigans, this is all a pile of crap dreamed up by some coke smuggling fly boy Oh yeah and what about the quad turbo 1.7???? I reject your sense of reality and insert my own. Hmph
Have I mentioned how much I love the name for your car
Well, sense you asked so nicely--I went and retrieved them from the nether region--

first things first: the thing looks awesome!!! great work!
now, I just went through and installed the flappers in my engine tin because I was told they are VITAL... the thermostat can be done without, but not the flappers... I'm told. BUT: I don't see the bar for your flappers! or was I just blinded by the safety-orange I'd hate for you to pull the engine again to install the flappers(like I just did..)
I'd heard the same thing about painting the tranny... but I don't see why it would be THAT bad!!
again, great looking work!

Love that color!
I like the tranny paint too...

excellent job. Reminds me of a car i painted for my bud! I could see how painting the trans would hold alittle more heat and effect it, but not unless your stressing it.

And by the way, the color is really fire engine red, I guess with the bright sunlight and my digital camera just was catching the pigments and not the actual color--in person it is astounding! Plus I am using the yellow wire covers for even more "BLING" effect----Flat black / fire engine red / bright yellow combo is sooo sexxy, I get wood just standing there and staring at it.
I think I am going to put off road water covers on the dizzy cap and coil, and use carb hats and just leave the engine lid off all together---Getting wood just thinking about it..hehe
Well, I am off to work--going to get it running today!!!!!! Wish me luck guys!

J great job getting the engine back together and into the car, colors look awesome.
Looks like we're getting a lot more teeners back on the road here in Florida. I'm hoping to get mine back together soon and maybe, just maybe, the engine back in this month.
