#97048, "Updated pics of my car and engine!"
Oct-27-06 02:27 PM by freddy_00_69



          

I got the car timed and i started it up and either i had some valves bent already and or my stupidity for not checking the head when i got it. I think they were already bent because i got the timing just right. I will have another head sent once i know i can get a good head from some place and not have to worry about bent valves. Here are some pics of the engine and the valves (left side) that are bent. The last pic is with my cel at night(sorry it doesnt come out good).









Nothing new for my eclipse, its been on too many tow trucks.

Looks nice, I like the black piping and turbo housing, I think I am going to paint my VC and I/C Piping black next spring too...

No power steering I see, how hard is it to manuever that bitch at low speeds? I though about canning mine too but I like easy steering emoji

I have a spare stock head if you need, PM me for detailz.

I also have a spare couple of stock valves you can have for free if you pay shipping to you bro.

edit: when you gonna paint that bitch blue!?

It is copper gasket spray becuz when it gets hott it turns to a nice gun metal finish and does not chip off. its a nice appearence mod for your turbo and manifold so it does not rust for $10. You didnt know this?

I think a nice black would really set your car off.

Your engine bay already looks killer.

Thanks for the comments about the car. I have never had a filter on, even when i had my 16g turbo. I dont know why i do that, but i do. I dont get the license plate joke, but i laughed anyway. I am leaning more towards black, but it wont be done until dec or january, so i still got time. I am also getting 18" Itork rims when i paint it and if i still have money have a shop i know install microtech LT8 for fuel and issue tuning.

Autozone or advance auto parts. It is a small gold can called copper spray-a-gasket. It should be by all the jb weld material and gasket makers.

Yup Its good stuff.

Heres a pic of mine before it burned off


sorry no pics of it after

Edit: Freddy the car and engine look good. Where did you get the scoop thing for the turbo? I've been thinking about getting one for my car as well. Do you have a screen in there or anything?

All the newer GA license plates are like that. I got the velocity stack from RS akimoto for $29 shipped according to the size you want, but they also have some at autozone. Thanks for the compliments, i deceided to reuse my fairly new head gasket when i got this running, but i just blew it a few days ago, so i will be fixing it this week and have it back on the road. It drove pretty well, so i just need to put more miles on it.
