All parts pictured are from the Ebay guy. The cams were $350 US and he has lots more, and three different grinds available. Mine are the 272's

Had to take the classic pic 8)


If I seem to look kind of unhappy it's because I have coolant leaking down my crack from the heater pipes. :laugh:

Tomorrow or Wednesday everything can go to the machine shop for tanking, surfacing and for the head rebuild.
Hopefully next week I can start to put it back together.

The timing belt seems to be good one.  They say 4 times better than OEM and in second generation even improved 2.6 times over the first generation...... (English site ad translated a bit different from Japanese site.)

Yeah, the extra expense for the good timing belt will help me sleep at night :laugh:

Well, after too much delay for my liking, the head, vavles, valve seals, crank, pistons, rods, and flywheel have all gone to Dr. Thompson's Spa for a bit of extra special attention. I gotta drop off the main caps in the morning though...I had no idea those are needed to bore cylinders :P

Anticipation is building. Next week will be fun :twisted:

Or the wrong shop. J/K it seems reasonable.


Now get it together and start breaking it in then you can decide if it's worth it. :D

Yeah, I'm sure once it's broken in, tuned and I put my foot into it and bang through the gears again I will have been willing to hand over more.

Here are some pics of the stuff I got back from the shop:
BEFORE

AFTER




The block isn't pictured because my stepdad had it masked and primed before I got out the camera. He's gotten very involved :laugh:
