- Engine is ready for reassembly:
- Ball-honed the cylinders. They have some minor scratching from the piston skirts but seems to be mostly resolved from the dingleballing.
- Hoping to get the shortblock together this week and long block assembled in the next couple weeks.
- Bought lots of parts to freshen up the engine’s problems:
- STi side-feed TGVs, injectors, and fuel rails
- My donor had bent fuel rails, poorly deleted TGVs, and questionable injectors.
- New timing covers to replace my poorly painted ones and the inner one that cracked when I removed it.
- STi oil pan and baffle
- Rod bolts
- Replacement left exhaust timing pulley
- Paint to repaint the intake and valve covers in wrinkle blue.
Engine loaded to bring to a friend’s shop for engine rebuild help
Final bath for the block after dingleballing
