Rebuilding for more boost!

[wpg81]

I have a heap of photos this week as progress have been good. Block is now down to bare block, nothing more at all can be removed! the crank is already at the machinist to be linished and oil holes deburred. All big end and main bearings were in good shape but will be replaced for a fresh set. Pistons rods and rings are in great condition except the damage from the spark plug strap. If not for one piston hit at the edge and having a tinny mushroom to the side of the piston it would be possible to re use them. It amazes me how robust Honda engines are , 11:1 compression and 10 psi on stock parts and no signs of stress

More pics as promised, replaced the oil in ac compressor and replaced front bearing as well as clean and paint. so many parts piling up!

On a side note, a friend dynoed his rambler hornet the other day. I have helped him with that car for a fue years and he has ironed out most of the bugs. Engine is chylser 360 with a 95mm turbo street/drag car. That dip in the chart is wheel spin!!!!!

Quick rebuild on the starter motor. Ticking another job off the list.

I little self motivation was needed so I fitted up the waste gate on my new manifold. The old log manifold was killing me up top so I am hoping the Afi sidewinder will unlock some power.excuse the dirty turbo.

Some parts are starting to roll up super tech inconel exhaust valves,super tech inlet valves,92psi valve springs, titanium retainers,7 degree keepers and valve stem seals. All new parts for the head!!!

As always I have had my head down and bum up into this build, just the little things.my clutch master cyclinder some times gave trouble so in with a new Honda one I had. Cleaned out the line and the slave as it was really bad. A quick paint of the slave and got excited and painted the engine mount also.
Trying some thing different on the shift cables, its tech flex that is used for covering wiring and cables and with heat shrink I think it looks good. Let me know if you guys like it or not? I will be redoing my harness in the same covering so it should tie in together nicely I hope.

It's all about the detail!

The tech flex covering looks good.

Thanks Felix, close to finished the engine harness. Looks so much better than the factory harness. Such a pain in the ass to do!
All it seems I do is clean paint repeat,clean paint repeat but I am happy with the results!

I am all excited as some of the cool parts are rolling in. the rods Pistons are all here. The head is back, ported to the manifolds, all new super tech parts in and looking sweet. I have just finished up the wiring harness. The engine block is at the machine shop getting honed to piston to wall clearances. Main bearing,seal kit, timing chain and tensioner,vrs kit have all rolled up.

It might take a fue posts for all the awesomeness to fit in!

[wpg81]

Just out of interest I weighted the piston rod combo against stock. I was quite surprised by the results!

[wpg81]

Honda parts ftw

[wpg81]

out with the old and in with the new!

[wpg81]

Finally finished the harness. This was a much bigger job than I thought it was going to be. Still yet to do charge harness but i am moving the battery to under the right hand head light. so I will need the engine in to get the lengths correct.

Nice progress! What's the sleeving you've used on the harness?
