Exclamation Who wants a >complete< photo documentry?

I am planning on rebuilding my NA engine this summer, and in preperation for that occourance, I am wondering, who wants a complete photo documentary from pulling the engine, tear down, rebuild, and reinstallation. The engine will be ported, fitted with 3mm Ceramic apex seals, and all the other good stuff expected in a race engine. This whole thing will be a very in depth thing, involving cutting the rotor, installing msd units, and other varying items of intrest.

Go for it. I'd figure at least 300+ pics to upload though and a bunch of writing so good luck.

Alot of writing/typing IE: a paragraph for every picture?
And ALOT of high res. up close and personal "hello i'm Mr. Rotor" pictures.

It may be worth it, but than again.. who knows.

You'll probably want to do it more for yourself than anybody else. Take lots of pictures, because no matter how good your memory is a picture is always better.

That sounds like a really good idea. you must have no LIFE or a lot of free time. A veido make more scents though. When you are all done i want one. Good Luck on your project ...

That was actually the plan, so that I could use the pic's as reference so that I don't screw up. Also, as for the writing, not only does it explain each step to you, it helps me remember, hopefully making me more knowledable about the engine and components.

other then that, it sounds like I will go for it.

why would anyone vote no?

i think it's a great idea, since it may be something i will also be doing in the near future...

hell, even if you know how to do it, i think it is good to have someone else's work for comparison, to see if you might be able to do something quicker or improve on something you are doing...

Ive taken 100+ photo's so far of my s4 non-turbo tear-down and inspection and the work done so far on my s4 turbo partial bridge

i will continue untill the engine is built and in my car with the photo's, and im also comtemplating video taping my rebuild


I find it usefull to have all these pictures for myself to review what i have done etc, and for people who are intreasted or don't know alot about the workings of a rotary engine, it has helped them many times over

I say you go for it, kind of like a story for your car
