Painted. Lets see how long it lasts:D

yep! they're polished

Now that's SWEET!
Thanks for sharing- really super photos. :)

measuring the hell with it, I have built about 15 motors(piston motors) the only thing I ever measured was the crank journals to know what size of bearings to order, and they are all running strong except for a d-50 motor i rebuild for a friend it had a cracked piston that we didnt realize but it ran like a bat out of hell on 3 cylinders hehehe

Luis:

I grew up in Puerto Rico where the are lots of rotaries, but your
car is the BADDEST I've ever seen. Hope you enjoy that bad boy
for 50 more years, at least.

Thanks bro

My dad is form Aguadilla. It must be in the blood:D

yo wussup man, hey that motor looks hot. congrats on the first build. I was gunna ask you if you were from PR. Anyways good luck..

Houston, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!

I had to open the engine again.

I was ready to check for end play, but the E-shaft would not move. It would only move if i tapped it with a rubber mallet. So I opened the block and found a small scratch on the shaft and that's where it was stuck. It also ruined the bearing. So My friend gave me a new shaft and I bought a new bearing. I'll close her again tomorrow.

I'm actually happy I get to do it again:D

^ a little extra practice never hurts!

looks really nice, how did you go about polishing those housings? they look awesome!

I wish i had the money for fd housings, a full rebuild kit, a bigger turbo (hell any turbo at all) and a microtech...i hope you enjoy the shit out of it for me!

I paid some old Cuban man $120 to do both.

Income tax check:D

Since you're in Argentina, if you get me Keyra's address http://www.kontraband.com/show/show....n=index-topten , you can have the Video and my motor:D

What!!! that bitch is hot. I seen the pics but damn. Yo today I went to walmart and I saw a china with her mom dressed like a str8 up school girl. Pig tails, the white top, plad skirt and sure enough those white stockings. I couldnt stop staring. But yo that keyra girl is off the chain.

nice photos. also, nice save with catching the shaft issues before trying to fire it. hope all goes well.

Yep!! Thank god I checked.

I should close the motor on Sunday and install it on Monday. I'll post some more pics.

That girl is driving Argentina nuts

A rich kid down here claims he banged her, but I want evidence.

she about drove me to a nut.

Motor is closed and all seems to be good.

My CP rack and pinion kit arrived yesterday, so I'll be installing the kit and then the motor.

Installing the CP rack kit is no picnic without proper tools. But I'm getting there.

This may sound like a stupid question, but is there anyway to reapply the nitride coating? And if not, what does the nitride coating do for the housings?

holyshit a CP! you´re god

Well fellas, so far so good. Over the next few days I'll be installing the fuel system and hopefully the Microtech. Then we'll see if my rebuild is a success.

Wish me luck:D

Luis, today I installed the microtech. Its really str8 forward and im sure youll have no problems in it. BTW good luck.

Thanks

I've installed an LT8 in my friends car and it started right up on the first try. I do need some coils though. Mooooooooore money:D
