The Daytona Project

[Jeff]

Here are some pictures from this weekend. No one reads or posts if there are no pictures!! :wink:

Most of my pics are still on the garage camera but here are some Nick got on his until Dusty can ship me the others.

Here is the head cleaned and dissassembled. You can see the other one (still dirty) in the background. I'm giving that one to Nick.



Another view. Also our workbench. I have some good pics comparing the new valves to the old valves on the other cam.



Here is the engine with the Balance Shafts still on it. Removing them removes a fair weight from the car, adds about 12hp, increases rev speed, and adds 1qt more capacity to the oil pan.



This view is of course from the bottom with the oil pan removed. This is the engine after removal...



The balance shafts meet their fate in the trash



View of the top deck...no pistons. The rings were VERY tight and the bearings apeared almost new. Also the rods were maked by a mechanic indicating they had been removed.



We also cleaned and organized parts to make the rebuild go faster. This box is the one the robber stepped on and broke...leaving the only clue of one footprint.



On a side note

we helped Dusty put a new IC on his car and we called it quits for the weekend.
