short collars with grub screws? makes them adjustable.. if you use aluminium to make spacers, it would be same "alloy" thrust surface as factory..the idea is to have no load what so ever on rockers..........
crank!!

i would like to give them a decent polish but dont have the equipment dave used in the wheel cleaning thread. yeh maybe a buffer on a drill will do a good enough job. You'll need to spin them to sand/polish them. The sanding lines need to be spun like the wheel or those types of wheels look terribl...

clean as!

Fark bro,your in the shit there....man try speaking to a beater,see if its worth it or not!! :facepalm: thats a bit of rust man.i reckon strip the ass end and also see if theres more rust. then see if its worth it to fix or put it back together and either sell it or use it as a donar car? I agree!!...

LOOKS LIKE A GJ SIGMA MASTER!

love your work! very thorough job! it will be one clean car when finished...

Pressure in system too, raises boiling point.. like a vacuum can decrease boiling point! ive seen water under vacuum boil at room temp! coool stuff!

Galant_GT0 :thumpsup: try using a flappy sanding disk on the grinder, its a little less brutal...Cut back battery tray so all thats left is the welds, it makes it easy to "feel" when welds are loosened. Dont pull to hard as it will rip away from panel leaving a hole...try to twist and pull...

As i understand coolant (ethylene glycol) doesn't have the same heat soak properties as water......
if high % coolant was desirable... wouldn't all car manufactures run straight coolant?????
i think of it more as "inhibitor"... water is the coolant!

they are for harmonic balance..got nothing to do with crank, pistons or rod balancing.

no i dont have pics...just one of my 6 mnth projects... sold before a pic taken...ahh dont even think i had a camera, lol! oh p.s. that damaged panel doesn't un-bolt...one where washers are! its welded i think...

HOPE TO GET THIS GOING BEFORE XMAS!
THERE I HAVE NOW SET MY CHALLENGE! LOL!

can i ask why a dry sump set up??? are you going to be running huge power??

6 of one, 1/2 a dozen of the other. I think you are on the right track, IMHO removing them achieves very little to nothing. It may remove some weight and it may be one less part to go wrong but seriously, unless you are pulling for absolute max hp it will make difference nadda. Don't believe the hy...

hmmm floor same / similar, but back window angle might hinder fitment, id say..........

. the blocks do fail!!!!!!! they are average in design.. I personally believe the 4g5XX blocks are the weakest component..How do i know?? experience and working at a sigma wreckers 15 years ago.... I saw cracked blocks quite often. hmm, no disrespect but i've never heard any hating on astron blocks...

Haven't decided whether to have it polished or not but it will need balancing after all this work.

Did it balance up ok?? that was alot of metal removed??
Hey, did you weigh it before / after??

. I cracked my block at the oil filter thread, one explanation was because the 4g54 has such a long stroke, at high revs, the block can turn to jelly. when I re-block mine, I'll be grouting and adding a girdle, (even if just for added strength) I too have cracked recoed 4g54 blocks.....after having ...

there a great motor!^^^^^^ i had a 05fiesta with a 1600 duratec for a while....thrashed the shit out of it...and it loved it! very revy little thing!
