We have been delayed by at least two months for racing with the COVID19 outbreak. In the interim, we are working on a charity car build with MidwestMiataParts.com by providing our services on an engine rebuild.
We tore the engine down from above to check the cams, and from below to check the crank and connecting rod bearings. Both were looking like they had done 145k miles, so we ordered new bearings and are waiting on them to arrive. The engine looked like it was deprived of oil changes, as evidence by the spark plugs, so it’s currently sitting in a kerosene bath until all the parts are delivered.
We also did a quick paint video for a control arm set with poly bushings:
Stay tune as we move on to the head build next!
