That must have taken some serious elbow-grease!
What exhaust manifold is that? Holds the turbo well clear of the engine. Velly Nice!

It is because he didn't give the file names an extention. So your browser doesnt know where to send them.

R&R rotary in Upland huh, so how's the quality of work by them. I heard horror stories from the work they have done, I knew a person who had two motors done by them and they both blew and it was supposedly their fault. But they are close by so I'm curious if they are reputable or not.

Every shop has horror stories. But there were a few people that backed this dudes up so I figured what the hell.

So far they have been plenty helpful and very informative. The best part is that they really seem to look out for the customer's best interest; meaning that they don't assume that we are all millionares. Like other shops charging 5-6k for a simple rebuild.

The one with the ugly *** rims that I keep saying that I'm gonna change.

Yup after I pick it up I'm gonna drive for 1000 miles (to break it in) then straight to the body shop it's going. F*ck man, I'm dropping money like it grows on trees .

I give a lot of credit to whoever did that polishing work

I hope the inside of the motor has as much integrity
that's the part that makes ME feel good any way

only the outside of the LIM is polished because thats all you can see really, the inside is a bit hard to polish, and all the stuff I got done..alot more then whats in the pics..it adds up fast lol, the engine was just bolted up together in the pics, not together yet, so the inside of the LIM is getting painted a nice silver just in case you can see bits of it through the polished fuel rails and stainless lines and all
