i may have to ride up there and check this out. it's looking great. in for the payoff...

 

yep yep. just hit me up. now i have to figure out what to do for wrist pin locks since the pistons didnt come with them. the spec sheet says .866 pin diameter, and .063 wire lock type. i emailed cp about this, but not exactly sure where to get these at. but i'll be dropping all the bottom end goodies along with the block to get it bored out (.003" piston-to-wall clearance), resurface the comp flywheel, then once i figure out this wrist pin lock thing....get the bottom end parts balanced.

 

you can help pay. me no mind!

a lil bit of good news. since i got shut down by infiniti and my extended warranty for motor replacement. the rep was at work today and my shop manager got him to spot me up to $500 towards rebuild parts....so im happy bout that atleast! this means ill get the oil pump, water pump, thermostat, hr headbolts, hr headgaskets, flywheel bolts, crank bolt, pilot bushing, and gotta add a few moar things to get as close to $500 of warranty cost as i can! so that saves me like $5-600!!!!!!

 

got the rest of my stuff in minus one of the HR headgaskets....which should be in thursday. i'll check with the machine shop to see if he's got the balancing job done yet, hoping to get the block to him by next week to get bored and milled for the HR headgasket mod. couple pix to show.


btw, i got new main bolts too

 

on hold with the machine shop guy.....hes a lil slow at things, should be finished with the balancing job and ready to bore the block sometime next week. once he gives me the ok i'll rent the tq plate so it can get done quickly. otherwise, a lil teaser of what has begun today

 

Subscribed! Very nice!

 

Very interested to see this build upon completion. Lots of pictures obviously mandatory!

 

why did you get shut down for a motor replacment by your warranty and infiniti? was it an infiniti warranty?

 

subd

 

got denied by infiniti consumer affairs cuz my car was "out" of warranty. the reason i called them was cuz i knew i was "out" of warranty but asked for assistance. my extended warranty wouldnt cover piston rings in my policy. they list all internals including the rings in the engine coverage but have WORN piston rings in their exclusion list. makes no sense being the motor was stock, the car had good service history with the dealership, and only had 66k so WORN piston rings arent really that possible. they would cover valve stem seals however, but not rings. either way i said screw it, cancelled my extended warranty so ill be seeing a refund from them. and my boss is finally gonna give me $500 worth of parts at warranty price which helps.....something is better than nothing right? lol

either way, stay tuned guys. it'll prolly be a couple weeks before my machinist gets my ish done...hes a busy man, but a slow one at that. :/ so im working on the plenums and my friend is workin on portin the heads with his spare time.

 

Can you hurry up.... :P

 

lol i sorry. i hate relyin on people to do shyt. thats why i need to pick up on machine work now cuz i hate havin to wait on stuff to get done. well i took a couple pix yesterday after work....i know people hate these types of pix but i have no eye for scenery and nice shots to take with my car, compliments on droid1
