Sweet man, when you geting the heads of the piistons.

 

Sweet port job mang, so riceburner is it hard to port? Or just stick the grinder in there and thats it??

 

to be honest it takes a LOT of time. i spend damn near 14 hours on that cylinder head. it is very very easy to take to much off. its hard not to take your time

 

as for the pistons, im going with cp pistons/rings/wrist pins they are the best piston you can buy but they are also 500 bucks so some time here real soon then its off to have the block sleeved

 

damn nice,
some guys, i think PETE sent his head to some guy to get it rebuild. you did it yourself? amazing!
a free tranny? awesome. so u are building the white HATCH right? how cool

 

yup. everything from the back of the car to mainly the front. the only thing that i am not doing myself is:

sleeving

valve seat grindings

pulling out the valve guides and installing new ones.

and tuning

heres another pic which i think is one of the sexiest so far of the motor.

 

NICE, cant wait to see this thing complete

 

No worries bro, it'll be here before I actually get the new head anyway. Can't wait to try it all out! Thanks again

Nice choice on the rods/pistons/bolts man, this build is a huge inspiration to me

 

got a little waiger on the line at work today. i was talking to one of my friends(employes) at work and he seems to think that with my 1.6L i am not going to make over 300 whp, let alone 450whp out of the motor next year. i bet him 50 bucks i would and my other friend to. they think anything under basicly a 2.5L wont make sh*t for power.

so what do you guys think will i be able to make over 300whp? lol

 

Well you better now you goofy looking bastard
