ca4244@essex, thanks! But, it's not like I had ever done this before (and I'm not in the car business, I'm just a simple IT guy
). But I'm just really interested in cars (especially Jap cars) and always wanted to rebuild one (AE86 at first, but this S12 came as the perfect opportunity). So why not give it a try?
tim murphy, thanks!
bigdaves12, thanks. It's a lot of work taking everyting out and putting it back. And I just can't get it over my heart to put something dirty back in, so I always end up cleaning for hours
So what has happened the past weeks
- Retape the S12 harness (lots of degrease and tape work
)
- Mount the S12 harness
- mounting various bits
Some pics before/after
Rebuild engine:
- new sealings
- new bearings (ACL race)
- cleaning oil pump
- cleaning pistons since I'm using the OEM ones
- new piston rings
- mounting revised head
- mounting inlet
and some other various bits
Some detail pics of the mid engine & head
As the engine is sitting atm:
Found a perfect set of blue S2000 seats
The color is really spot-on, couldn't suit better with the S12 blue!
