I'd simply repair the head and slap a good piston and rod assy out of the other engine into it after a light hone. Unless it has actually damaged the bore to a point you need to bore it? If the latter I'd just junk it and start again.

Forgies aren't worth the expence, you're not near the limit of the stock gear yet.

I can take some. It was pretty easy, on the back of the pump there is 6-10 big phillips head screws. use an impact driver to get them off, cover lifts off, gears slip out easy, put some vasoline on the new ones and slip them in. Loctite, and impact driver the cover back on.

he pressure was 110psi, as it was just running a normal N1 releaf spring. I will enlarge the oil restricers, and drop the pressure back to 65-75psi with the new engine.

Wrong heat range plugs, tip fell off and went through the engine. But after I pulled it down, it was apparent it was a time bomb. The machinest didn't seat the valves properly, and some were leaking, and the Bearings were very warn. Looks like it was a very high km engine

e85 all the way. Yep I got some of that good VHT alloy in a can, it's now super light. Why people paint their blocks black is beond me, it's 1000x easier to work on a light engine, cause you can see what your doing.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
