Build-up thread - (pics of your build up or your blown engine)
My buld up on my 93 FD. We did it at the shop
The APEX Seal ended up only scoring the rotor housing, so i got lucky!
This time its RA Super Seals

tell me about it! i've got an impact wrench, but it's only rated at 230 lb/ft. i'll be getting a much more powerful one by Tuesday and i'll have another go at it. i'm sure the advice everyone has given will come in handy.

That fire damage looks pretty severe. As in, new brake booster, new master cylinder, potentially new brake lines, wiring harneses, etc. Ouch. $2500 for a complete FD though, can't complain about that

my buds and i took apart my engine tonight (click the link in my sig). only have a few pics because my wife's camera is being a bastard, but i'll get better pics up tomorrow.
i've got an a/c system, power steering, air bag system (including computer)... the a/c system had a leak in it somewhere, but the p/s is good and the air bags are still good. pm me an offer if you're interested.
