obstacles i may encounter when cracking my block soon?
hello everyone, thanks for reading my post.
i'm going to be having my 13b rebuilt soon by lucky 7 racing. i was curious as to what the problems ill be facing with an engine that has been raced for about 12k miles casually and has had oil temps that have seen 230-260(maybe 270) measured with racing beat oil pedistal. its also now sat in my garage with the water and oil in it for 2-3 years. i want to give it a fresh rebuild, maybe syphon or drain the fuel tank (half tank still).
the engine has 170 total thousand miles on it, N/A. its a 1989 s5 gtus. the motor was built 5 years ago with a total of 50 thousand miles on new rotor housings and lapped sidehousings. the injectors and the fuel filter were cleaned/replaced at the last rebuild. its ported, full intake box and exhaust system, and a SAFC II -10/-13 %. i remember not driving it anymore because it made a weird buzzing noise at high rpms where it spent most of its time (could be a sparkplug or the o2 sensor that is magically severed from the harness, i dont know).
i plan on doing some type of rotor lightening and balancing with my rotors if my engine isnt too beat up, too. i also want to run a compression test to see whats going on inside, unless its a bad idea at this point. its had mobil 1 sitting for all this time, too, shoot...
any input would help my cars safe/swift return greatly!
thanks,
russ

What I'm getting at is that if it's gonna be a track car you need to make sure what you do is within the rules that the group you are going to run with... You can build a pretty hot track car and then find there's nobody to race against with it. Can always do TT of course, there's rules and classing for pretty much anything.
