It's too ******* cold, I'm back for 30 Min!

[TurfBurn]

I'm having a bad time with my motor today so far... i think my starter took a s***... so I have to replace that most likely.. I also think my battery is done for (I've been using my truck battery for the most part instead)... and I've got weird spark plug readings this morning... and I may have figured out my overall starting issue... but thus far... no go on getting it to run under it's own power.. fires occasionally but no go otherwise! But I have a warm..ish garage... it's about 45...

I do not understand, in the pic of you guys dropping the motor in the valve cover has writing on it. and in the other prep pics there is no writing, is that a older pic.

Thanks looks like it is coming out nicely.

ghostwhisper- he already mentioned that once the engine is IN he will put the other valve cover on

VIDS!

I ran "sort of" today as well.. not driveable yet but the motor ran!

 

[Steves 300C]

It fired on three Cyl first try after 10 revs, because #1 injector was disconnected (Wire Only). Second shot was perfect, 3 Revs and smoth Idle. Minor leaks to tighten. I think he is going to put the rest of the suspension and bodywork on Sunday. As of now, the turbo is attached but none of the plumbing is done. The car ran on stands so it was a very harsh feeling. The EGT and Oil P worked perfect and the EIC-2 is being hooked Sunday, (One Wire)

It's plated and Insured to drive tomorow...

BTW... This is Brian, I'm at Steves and too lazy to log on as me!

[Brian MP5T]

Just ran it again for 5 Min, It's smoother each time. I think the ECU is learning...

I'm real happy and will probably be up at 5:00 Am to finish and go for a solo drive...

 

[TheJohnny]
