here you go i hope you guys enjoy and gives some other FC owner out there some motivation =) and for the stupid things done i polished some things there the AC/PS bracket and i wanted to keep my factory oil pressure gauge plus a custom aftermarket oil pressure gauge so instead of investing the money in the Racing Beat setup this is what i did =)











if you have any questions or comments let me know =)

Not to be a downer, but those housings don't look nearly clean enough for reassembly. Unless there are some other pics where it shows the side of the housings to be clean and shiny, the o-ring surface is way too dirty to form a good seal...

So uh, you assembled an engine with dirty rotors?

I'm with aaron...I think you should have spent another day or 2 cleaning.

Nice, but me personally, I would have had the housings/irons sitting in a hot tank overnight, and then have them sent out for powdercoating. If that was out of my budget, at the very least, heat paint...
Personally I want to see some pictures with everything installed, and then some compression numbers

No need for a hot tank.

Aaron is right, its a bit dirty. Simple Green Auto Degreaser (industrial strength Simple Green) is the best for cleaning the parts. Just soak overnigt. PArts look brand new. I have a few rotors in my tank right now I will ahve to snap some picks of and post later. They look brand new!
