<font color='#F52887'>Mike and I went around yesterday and got all the stuff we probably need to rebuild my engine. &nbsp;Should be interesting... Cant wait until its done.

<font color='#0000FF'>my thing ported</font>

<font color='#000F22'>looks good.. <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;can't wait till you get it running! &nbsp;

Rob</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>I cant wait either. &nbsp;BTW, the one on the left is the ported one. &nbsp;Both are done now though and I touched up the first one too</font>

<font color='#000000'>I hope u did the intake ports too. Curious tho, we're both building street ported 13b, urs is late model 6 port, mine is early model 4 port and will be put in a much lighter body, this will be interesting.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>mine is a 4 port</font>

<font color='#000000'>O, I didn't know u were building a turbo engine.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>holy crap... I bought a carbide bit....did the intake port in 15 minutes...unfortunately the templates I got from racing beat are the wrong ones so I had to design my own ports. &nbsp;I think they will be alright. &nbsp;Theyre a little more wild than racing beat's. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'></font>

<font color='#0000FF'>...they look like crap on the computer I guess its the black marker still on there. &nbsp;First Timer Here...

<font color='#000000'>Where'd u end up getting carbide bits at? Granger was the place on Ashville Hwy that I couldn't remember the name of.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>I met a guy that lives near me. &nbsp;He's a little expensive but hes really nice and hes been in the tool business for 30 years. &nbsp;He showed me around his place and he has a mobile &quot;tool truck&quot;. &nbsp;Like snap on has in some places. &nbsp;He also gave me 4 automotive tooling catalogs. &nbsp;The place is called Thompson tool or something. &nbsp;I'll post the number and stuff tomorrow. &nbsp;The carbide bit was $30 BUT it is just as sharp as it was when i got it and it cuts insanely fast which is not how they were described to be on rx7club so I am happy.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>Hmm this here's a good picture. &nbsp;After I cut myself I then proceeded to step on and crush one of the only pieces I wasnt replacing...Then I threw things around and cursed and came in and got a friend to send his extras <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'></font>

<font color='#000080'>Its amazing how small a 13b rotor auctauly is when you get your hands on one.</font>

<font color='#F52887'>You better put Neosporin and band-aids on those like I told you to! &nbsp;They're icky.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>neosporin and bandaids are for sissies I put axle grease and gasket paper on it</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>the side seals my friend sent got here overnight and Im about to go out and put it together.</font>

<font color='#F52887'>They aren't for sissies! &nbsp;They're for people that have cuts from rotors ...or rotor housings. &nbsp;Whichever. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'></font>

<font color='#0000FF'>Today I didnt get cut at all but it wasnt very productive. &nbsp;Had to do too much running around and didnt get to the engine until late and then had to leave early. &nbsp;bah</font>

<font color='#000F22'>How many extra parts do you have left. &nbsp;I always have bolts and stuff left after working on anything. &nbsp;I guess its all part of weight reduction... Off to put my sway bars in. &nbsp;Merry Christmas.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>man you just made me remember I forgot an o ring <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('></font>

<font color='#0000FF'>but its not together yet so its ok <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'></font>

<font color='#0000FF'>Okay so its all in the engine bay and all that and I would have started it today but I slipped in gear oil and covered myself in coolant and it was really cold out and I had 4 plugs that needed to be switched and it made me really mad so I went home.... hopefully tomorrow is the day</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>hmm only took 1 month and 11 days to make it run</font>

<font color='#000000'>Way to go! Ya did good.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>Thanks for the help today. &nbsp;Its safe and sound in the garage. &nbsp;One of the fuel injector orings burst and shot fuel all over the engine bay but uh after that was corrected I drove it home. &nbsp;Starts right up now and the smoking seems to be all gone. &nbsp;Its REALLY eager to boost and its HARD to drive without getting on it. &nbsp;The brake booster vacuum line either isnt on well enough or the brake booster is dead the rest of the way and I forgot how poorly it handled. &nbsp;I NEED to replace the rear end bushings asap with this new pressure plate it grabs a little quicker than the old one. &nbsp;Other than all that and needing to install all this stuff its great!</font>

<font color='#000000'>Any time. Baby it for at least the first 500 miles. Then limit the boost for the next 500 to 1000 miles. I wouldn't start driving it hard til at least 1500 miles. Since u didn't mention it, I'm guessing it's running cool enough.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>yeah cold in fact</font>
