I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Thanks man. Its fun!

K, heres the run through...


Cleaned off the stock pistons.. Image Broke my snap on socket wrench trying to take the crank pulley off... Image So, I went to building...Got the pistons in, torqued down, and ready to go. Started to put the block back together.. Image Got the pan on and flipped it over.. Image Got the head on with the new head gasket.. Image All torqued down and assembled! My friend and I are going to do timing tomorrow, because I cant do it for the life of me..(dont worry the valve cover is just sitting there...) Image Image Image

Yeah, but I was dumb enough to use a ratchet rather than a breaker bar, so thats my mistake haha. But we got it off, and I called a Snap On truck and got me another one :P

Very nice man! They're definitely a fun build. The torque is the best part about them I think haha.
