Extending the life of a boat anchor

So since my EA82 turbo build languishes, and I had to remove the carby engine to allow for front end upgrades anyway. Also needed to address a leaking HG. I decided to sort out the worn rings and glazed bores issue. I went from this: http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/2015-03-28%201...

When I had the front calipers coated, I took the opportunity to get a few other things done in blaze blue. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150705_130937_zpsqfhvljus.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150705_141527_zps0dwk...

Bugger me mate!

Looks awesome! New hub and knuckle or powder coated?
Thanks Bennie, its taken me months to bring all this together.

If its not brand new, its been powder coated or zincplated. So no not new hubs or backing plates just spruced up.

Im chasing nico-leone from a long distance ;)

Front calipers had holes in the seals and pitted pistons. So since it was a tear down on these I had them powder coated. That was the affordable part. New pistons modified and new seal kit was the costly part of the excercise. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/2015...

Yep the aftermarket cam seals are prone to failure. The original seals work a treat. +1 Or at least source Japanese made, in which case just go through FROG. Damn good price at whats quoted. Its a shame the labour to replace them is massive :( Some of the seals,gaskets and o'rings in a gasket set a...

Hmmm, Jelly bean mags on the old Flanders mobile. Might be a bit silly on an L series but right at home on a Brumby or MY.

I think Im right in saying it just has a bolt going through it horizontally, yeah? What are the sizes of the 'crush tube' and bolt for this original? Yes it is horizontal. I cant locate where I have those bolts. More than likely they are M12 about 90mm long with a flanged bolt head. They will turn ...

Not sure I have a solution Bennie, but will offer my experience.

I want that set of timing belt covers. They look pristine like some of the other bits on that score of a donor engine you got :)

So as for performance and longevity, do you plan to provide for an intercooler or water/meth inj setup? Or will this be a by the book period rally car?

Its the way of the world. When you have something you need/want/have made or use everyone else wants it. When you dont need or want it, nobody wants it.
Sooner or later someone will be after your items.
