Damn man, I wish my engine looked half as good as that. I also wish I didn't have one rotor only pushing 20psi! Good luck, I hope yours is better than mine is so far!

Well, I'll have the time to clean my engine all nicely like that if it turns out my front rotor is gone, hopefully the ATF will restore compression tomorrow, we shall see. Very nice though, was that bead blasted, or sand?

Ahh, looks really nice, how long did it take to clean up? Did you coat it with anything afterwards?

Thanks! I spent a couple hours one night cleaning it up, which is MUCH easier if you know someone with a couple blast cabinets! Keep us posted with what you find out tomorrow about your car!

Hey Nick,
you might have to look into a turbo upgrade. Maybe that will make the engine spotless! lol
