🔧The engine has good forged pistons and positive deck height, indicating good compression.
⚙️The transmission is heavy and will be replaced with a 904 for better performance.
🔩The engine components are clean and well-maintained, with no visible issues or damage.
🚗The goal is to have the engine running within one week, once all necessary parts are available.
⏰The engine project requires careful inspection and cleaning, but progress is being made towards getting it up and running.
What did you discover during the engine disassembly?
—We found good forged pistons, positive deck height, and clean engine components with no visible issues or damage.
Why are you replacing the transmission?
—The current transmission is heavy, so we are replacing it with a 904 for better performance.
How long do you expect it will take to get the engine running?
