So its begun!

REALLY needs a bit of port work...and she'll get it!


Crusty pistons

seriously, its crusty in there


head gasket was clogged up where the coolant passes through it, all muddy!




Crusty head too!



Sorry theres heaps of photos!
So thats the progress as of when i left for holidays on the 10th of January.
The head, block and intake and exhaust mani's have been at R. G. Baker engineering getting ported polished, bigger valves and cams installed, blocks been bored out to 82mm to fit 2.9l vr6 pistons.
My brother just took the intermediate shaft and bearing/bush thing to him today to fit the bush thing for me.
The Head will be all done and ready to pick up in a couple days.
Im ordering a clutch probably from Four Seasons Tuning in the US, just a stock one, and have it delivered express, and it will still be cheaper than getting one locally! unless someone knows a place around here where i can get a cheap kit minus the flywheel.
Ill be getting the flywheel machined and lightened tomorrow too.

Umm...thats it i think.

I also might paint the wheels soon, probably black, i just need to find some more jack stands to use while they get painted

Gripforce in the states sent me a vr6 stage 2 clutch in 3 days and it was about $250 delivered. They do some more hectic ones too
