OK, thanks to all that have helped me so far. I have now got the motor down in the shop and took a few pics along the way.
The original reason for pulling the motor again is to fix the trans. That is done and stored away. Got pretty good at getting that knocked out quick. That is due to the fact I can't contain myself when shifting in the races and I snap selector parts frequent.
Also the motor smoked on start up. It looks to be the valve seals on the intake side are leaking. The intake vales have a nice coating of oil on them. So I will most likely have them replaced or replace them myself. Also when I mounted the motor to the stand I found that the rear main seal is leaking too. So a few things to take care of in this off season.
But since I have the motor out I figured I could try for some more RELIABLE horsepower.
I don't drag race. I don't circle race. I don't pud around in a parking lot. I road race W2W and its between 10-13 times a year. One of which is 100mi long, and the rest is approx 50mi. So I don't necessarily want to be tuning or wondering if its going to start. I just need to concentrate on driving and accumulating points.
The class is unlimited other than it has to be under 2.3L and not forced air.
Doing this build I have many questions. So please stay tuned, and I will try my best to keep pics coming till the end (very near) to keep you guys entertained.
yes I broke this spring like 9 years ago and its still kicking!!!! (ok just like 16K miles but still got to give this little guys some credit
