Update.

Local confirmed the highest HP local car w/ K1 rods (750whp) is actually with the lightweight version, which is in turn not as strong as the ones I have. I asked about the rod bolts, and that very build runs the ARP 2000 bolts. Not worried the slightest bit.

Finished painting the mounts and pressing the poly inserts in.

Sanded ready for first coat



Painted



Pressed in & ready to fit



Started on the head, removed rocker arms, lifters, cam and cam gears. Still have to figure out how to remove the valve springs. Didn't do much looking yet.

Last parts painted...





Up next... reassembly of this

What I discovered on the clutch master. This could be related to my sticky clutch. There has been speculation regarding this: bubbles in the lines, flexing of the firewall, badly functioning slave.


It's apparent that the end of the master fork could have gotten stuck where the metal skirt ends. I don't know where exactly the skirt lines up but it's obviously hitting something.


Assembled clutch pedal assembly.


Updated first page parts. Decided on the connectors I will be using.


Halfway there...



Finished separating the front engine harness to the rear. Couple spots left, hopefully I can get rid of some of the 12 wires that are still using the molex connectors in the pics. Well see. Wouldn't mind getting a 12pos Deutsh connector on top of this one. The molex junk is just not working for me.



Half de-loomed.

[evotastic.ca]

Mark unused connectors!




No more fading marker & tape... If the marker fades on this, the # will be taken down and a chart made just like the fusebox covers have one.



Not there yet...



Done removing all unused connectors and ECU Pins. At this point what could be done is to shorten the fusebox cables from the 3rd harness, the body harness, to wiring more or less around the ECU.

Decided to polish it. Least expensive & nicest looking. Got it all down to about 100grit, at least the flat & visible parts. Need some more sandings discs for the timing side, lots of nooks and crannies on that side.

Before


After


Got the dimples out with some sanding discs since I took that pic.
