Next stop....

WARRIOR ENGINE

to see if my 94mm are now 96mm

Would you quit Fuching around and finish this thing already? I need something to in the AX in Hershey this year!

I really am workin on stuff.... really


I stopped by the shop yesterday, and my case was bueatiful The jugs were finished and he showed me the fit with the KB pistons. Fantastic. The job was so well executed, I gave him the crank and the flywheel to work on while i order the bearings.

I just called Dean @ Rabby Enterprises about 7 times , and placed my order for the bearings. You can,t be too careful ordering parts. The only interesting thing in my build is gonna be the rods.

The small end of the rods is shot, the machinest told me. They need to be rebuilt and the bushings available according to Dean are crap. They dont sell them, they just sell new performance rods. Mark @ Warrior engines insists that he can build the bushings himself better than anything money can buy. He manufactures his own bushings and uses them in Engines pushing 1600 horses. He gave me a price of 196 for all for rebuilt and balanced. I cant wait to see what they look like.

I trust all the experts here and I trust Mark, I figure Im not just saving money, but I am getting 30+ years of this guys reputation in the heart of my motor.



The finish line is in sight. I should have everything back in my garage, ready to build with 2 weeks

Is it done yet?

Do you west coast guys know it was 7 degrees last night

And there's a problem with that? 7 degrees outside gonna warm up to mid 40's later in the week. Sounds like an excuse for an engine build party

Dean told you the truth about the bushings... The material for them is now crappy and for the cost it takes to rebuild a set of OE rods we can replace them with a new H beam that will hold 400HP, already has ARP rod bolts.

Not to mention that the rods weigh 300 grams less than OE.

Those heads make me jealous.

Zach

Talked with Mark just now. He said I can pick everything thing up by the end of the week.

YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY !!








Lookin like a great day today

Joe - Give Zach some head.

I just called Rich @ cruzin performance to check when I had the injectors cleaned. It has been 2 years and a month Wow time flys

Since they are still in the sealed packages, and numberd Rich said he will re-check them for free



Nice Guy.

Please dont mess this up

Help him doc.

Just ask questions and if I can I will swing over after work. Would have come over yesterday but you had some "birthday party." who puts of ahead of thier car?

Your case and rods look great. I am glad that mark came through for you.

I already have a day job, and a night job.

Looks good Joe...glad you finally got all the parts.

You will have this thing back on the road before you know it.

I have heard that the MPS needs to be tweaked to work well on a 2056. Have you found anyone to do this yet?

Joe,
I'm expecting to ship your new exhaust and AFR gauge late this week or first of next week.

Oh Snap !

The secret purchase has been revield

I have Tangerine Headers



Thank you Chris !
Iam so excited to hang your work of art, onto my brand new 2056

THAT!

YOU BUM! Its never going to reach your door, Sayre. It will go, shall we say, up in smoke.









*jealous*
Zach

That may be the cleanest engine I hve ever seen

I now have a case of Loose cannon waiting for the Brave souls that help me out





Next question, What other than assembly lube do I need to purchase from the FLAPS

Mmmm - Nice jugs........Looking very sanitary

Oh man! I love that beer!

Thanks to whomever told me to recheck my injectors



The email I recieved today:

Hi Joseph,
Your injectors arrived and it's a good thing we checked them. Three of the four were indeed stuck closed from sitting. I ran them on the bench and within a couple of minutes, they all freed up. I backflushed them and ran them on the bench for about 10 minutes. They are now flowing fine once again.

That bead blasted case is beautiful!

Bead blast! Ah yes, make sure you clean the case out thoroughly! All the passages and such. You dont want that grit getting into your running parts.

I would spend a ton of time cleaning that thing to avoid any loose grit getting into the engine when complete!

I used to use pipe cleaners that are really long or take out all of the oil galley plugs and run a 22 cal barrel brush through it!

Mark painted that case, didn't he. Is it really that clean?

Zach

Maybe time to put in threaded galley plugs so you can access the oil galleys for cleaning?

I have been doing this stuff with my Moto Guzzi parts that I have been blasting

That's a fine IPA. Engine looks good too

Thanks,

I fogot to mention the Beer was bottled a week ago
I got a connection
They actually brew it right near my work

anybody wanna put my engine togeather sat evening??



engine buid party at joes.

I was over Sat night...
Joe is going to have a very nice engine, no doubt. He needs to clean the case interiors before he does any assembly, but that goes without saying.

He needs input for case sealant though. Is Loctite 474 still the stuff to use for sealing case halves? Is there another product that people prefer these days?

What about for the case bolts and jug bases? What is the sealant that people like for those areas these days?

NO LEAKS!

Zach

I use permatex aircraft sealant.
http://www.permatex.com/products/automotiv...3_Sealant_a.htm

You can buy it at napa or Oreily auto. I have used it for a while and have yet to have a leak. I have also seen folks use a strip of dental floss along the bottom edge of the case to prevent leaks out the bottom. Hope this helps.

Permatex is fine. Anaerobic sealant is what you are looking for.

OMFG


These pipes are excellent Chris. Did I mention that tommorow is my Birthday. Excellent timing

As far as the engine build party, Zach did come and brought Theo So we watched movies with our kids and played Wii while eating pizza and drinking beer. We never actually made it to the garage. But it was worth it.

Fun times

Yep, that's art. :jealous:

And we did make it out to the garage. We just didn't build anything. Clean your case so we can build stuff next time!

Zach

Joe, I'm beginning to think you robbed a bank, or maybe harvested a crop.

Waiting to move foreward on my engine.... I figured I needed to work on somthing.



I went ahead and added some gauges to the teener today. (3) to be exact. I got rid of the clock and replaced it with an oil pressure gauge. It is smaller than the stock gauge, so I used a bit of superglue and managed to get my aluminum ring to fit pretty well. I didnt want to loose the uniform look with the trim rings I purchased.

The other 2 went on the pillar, a fuel pressure gauge to monitor the D-Jet, and a Air Fuel gauge to keep in tune. I did not want to install the pillar at first, but bit the bullet when i saw the alternatives. I actually really like it

Delila says it makes my car a "REAL" racecar

I should have the engine back this weekend from Tony @ Translog GT. Once I pick it up, I just need to dress it with my D-jet. I pulled everything out of the box to make sure I didnt lose anything I did. Cant find that damn head temp sensor, no worries cause Tony has one for me. I purchased the resistor to richen up the mix so I could at least break in the engine. Then I may need help with adjusting the MPS, not sure yet. I do have an 02 sensor and I will be able to tell if its close.

Here is my stash as it came from hibernation
