Canito's casa de rebuilds! Miren! Jorge y Cano, first rebuild!

Helped a friend rebuild is streetported 12A the other day.
This was my first ever rebuild and Jorge's done it before.
Engine went together really smooth.
We used the Mazdatrix rebuild video also, Highly recommend it!!

Here's some pics.

Added to the official list of essential rebuild tools: A sharpie marker, for numbering the tension bolts. Did the same thing with mine.

Gotta love the Harbor Freight engine stand. I have the same one mounted to my 12a streetport motor too. Congrats on a smooth rebuild.

Yes that's the correct one.
You can get the rotary adapter from atkins or pineapple racing about $50-60
