A few rebuild pictures

First few set of pictures was from BigTurbo's motor rebuild. Nothing drastic was done on the daily driver, but it does have an e6k and some other goodies. We're going to do several dyno sessions on it to tune the exhaust later. Will post those next month. The last picture is a few motors I'm doing for some locals. Miltsthemans turbovert motor is there, waiting to be ported and assembled. The center FD motor is a half bridge thats getting dogmission and a to4R bolted to. I'll post pictures of those rebuilds here shortly.

Add a few hours if you don't superglue the corner pieces of the seals in. It's also occasionally a pain to convince the coolant seals to STAY PUT (at least with the teflon coated ones - not sure about the stock ones). But, yea, they're insanely simple engines to deal with.

yeah i had to laugh when i torqued down the last tension bolt on my engine, i remember being pretty hesitant about rebuilding my engine, but damn it was soooo simple! great experience, can't wait to get some money saved up to rebuild the 13b in my fb, and do my first port job

i used to be that intricate until i pulled apart a motor i fired up and the carbon had already covered half of my previously polished work. i now just clean them up as good as i can without huge amounts of detail.

where the carbon really builds up is in the exhaust ports, which sucks because polished ports flow best compared to rough ports which can cause turbulence. you can't do anything to keep carbon from sticking to the exhaust ports with the exception of possibly a water injection system working regularly.
