    200 I6 finally going back togther

     



    finially starting to go back togther after several months ( car's been under the light since the fall, Nov I think ) and the current cost is just over $3,000 but soon to go up...again.

    anyway, friday I put in the rear main oil seal, and all the bearings, today I dropped the crank in, torqued it, and started the plastigauge prosess. so far I'v done 3 out of 7 mains. there all coming out at .002 which is ok, hopefully there all within spec. I'll have to pull out the old '74 Motors manual we have, to get the real spec. my teacher said between .001 and .002 was ok, but I seem to remember when I looked at the spec b4 that .003 was the max spec.

    Still have to get a fuel preassure regulator ( getting a Aeromotive 1 for $125 ), turbo piping and couplars, and a wastegate, BOV and a intercooler ( a company on Ebay has cheap 1's for $50 but they have 2 yr warranty's )
