Don't change the color of the MS Struts. That green is pimp. If anybody says anything about them being green, tell them 'They're Mazdaspeed BIATCH!'

Use an 1/8" end mill and draw the lines back in!

Cleanest block you will ever see... it's been glassbeaded to get off all the rust from 1992.
Image

Bored 1mm over, ready to be finish honed to size...
Image

Test polished valve cover...
Image

Finish ported port...
Image

Hydrolic cam left, solid lifter cam right... different lobe profiles, longer duration on the solid lifter one...
Image

$14USD water pump off eBay...
Image

You all know this bad boy...
Image

Need some porting...
Image

More pictures here... http://s491.photobucket.com/albums/rr27 ... uild/BP09/

Got me Toga HV oil pump, SS clutch line, PEP bronze guides, and Fidanza Cam Gears.

I've been sanding and polishing the crank... not just the mains and rods but the whole crank. I figure that I've also removed some weight, as well as got rid of some of the drag that was created from the casting slag. This should also let it climb the RPM ladder a lot faster... spool spool!

BEFORE

... AFTER!

Here's that fook'd up casting number that doesn't match anything in my books at work...
