Real bad luck mate ![]() I feel for ya on the valve lapping, i spent hours sunday lapping my starlet ones. What fookers invented 16 valve engines! lol. And then spent most of today trying to sort out the valve shims. What a tedious job that was. What strange cams the SR20 has!!! It just has one big cam lobe for 2 valves then!? |

this is a typical example of how government money could be a bit better spent, repairing roads or cleaning them up quicker, looked like a mint s14 before hand, hope you get it back up soon, good luck with it all. |

Pure porn! Especially that sprayed engine bay. Good to see your going all the way and not skimping or rushing anything. Gonna be great with the extra traction as well. When do you reckon it will be done by? I assume it just needs engine in, putting back together, then MOT and tax etc. |
