New Heart for SpinalTap
« on: October 12, 2004, 01:50:04 PM »
I got a pretty decent deal on a rebuilt 1.6 8V this aft. The header gasket is still bright silver like its never been run. The Tracker was rear ended so i got a mint rad as well :) Going to put it on a stand, check some clearances and then my bud is going to do some head work along with a cam...man I'm excited about this  ;D

Sounds like a sweet deal,I'd like to run into a deal like that. It's been quite a while since I have found one. :(

You asked for 'em ;)

Everyone should have a spare doncha think?







We're pulling off the oil pan and head this weekend so that we can inspect the bottom end and check for any cylinder scoring. Then my bud is going to port and polish the head. We'll decide on what type of valve grind will be best for the beast. Plus I'll likely be ordering a Calmini cam for it  ;D

Make sure to get the aluminum block done too, so it doesn't rust! ;D
