no doubt! -

Welcome to the s366 club btw. The snail looks beautiful all nice and polished like that Can you share more pics of your SC?

Pistons and new oe oil pump

Thanks man.

My Sc is almost stock, lowered and R154 swap, that's about it.

I crashed the one on my sig.

Looking good! Nice progress! Who did you end up doing the machine work? Basko?

Yes sir, since you've told me they've done yours several times.

I reinstalled the valves, valve stems, springs, shims, etc myself to cut down costs. They are within specs when I reinstalled.

Valve job is $150, decking is $60, sandblasting $27

I shuold have kept the HG you bought! So what's the plan on yours? I read you are getting V160, must be nice!

This is all I can find locally for lube, Torco is too expensive!

good to know that you inspected that motor and freshening it up. i stay here in dallas and have dealt wit JDM engines corp. that guy is more shady than a pecan tree at 6pm in july! maybe ill start a build thread soon

great work so far

Thanks, I hope It will not blow up.

No one bought my R154 so I am planning on keeping it. No V161 for me. I may just install it and run with it and crank up the boost on my car and continue building a motor on the side.

I have the same torq wrench for the cam caps lol!

looking great keep the pics coming, this is my favorite parts on every build.

$9.99 Harbor Freight special haha.

Accurate, but I use brand new Craftsman for the head studs.

Awesome job! I love the engine tear down of these build threads the most. How are you planning to break in the motor? Dyno or street?

Thanks!

Under 3k rpm for first 500 miles for break in, what do you suggest?

Thats what I would do. ^^^^^^^^^^^
