Just an observation but when I looked at the pic I thought that the dowel pins that locate the bearings may not have been installed. I looked at the left bearings and saw the little hole in the bearing that I thought used the dowel pin to located the bearing and then looked at the right bearing and didn't see the corresponding hole. I am most likely mistaken but thought I'd offer my thought ...

An astute observation. I can't recall at what point this was taken but I know we oriented the dowels an the holes when we assembled. Also, the thing went together great and turns smooth as silk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My machinist buddy and I made a custom lexan disk to mate to my heads. My wife is a nurse so she got me a 30ml syringe from work. Time to CC my heads and figure out my compression ratio. They came to 62.5cc. With that and a deck of .045 that's about 9.17:1. Seems a bit high?

Great build. I love that your daughter is helping. My sons are a little young this time, but in another year or do they'll be ready.

Can't wait to see the body after paint!

Just curious, have you tallied up your cost to day, including the initial purchase of the car?

Do these motors use head gaskets?

So....
I entered my numbers in inches into a metric calculator and got bad results on my CR. Looks like 8.26:1 this time. Now it seams low but my deck height will be set at .045" which I think is about a low as you can go?

My next step is to get the custom spacers to set my deck, then I can install the heads. I think the thing to do will be to make an adjustable pushrod and use it to set the geometry. I have machinist friends who can help make this. I'll pass it along if timing works out. I have Cro-mo pushrods so I can set the lifters to zero lash. I'm not used to this as I've usually dealt with Type 1 motors and stock Hydraulic lifter Type 4s.

If .045" is around the minimal deck height and I can achieve this then my CR will be 8.26:1. Kind of low but then again I might be a little off on my measurements. I made a tool that helps measure this. One issue I had was that my pistons went .01" prod of the cylinder when I first installed it. This means that I will need the custom shims or use a head gasket. Not sure what I'll do next. It usually takes about a week to sort all the info/opinions before I make a decision. That clock started last night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Good lord...WHY IN THE WORLD would you ever do such a thing?

Don't you know...that's a job for the NEXT owner to do, so he can brag about what the DAPO spent!

I guess you missed the first two words "just curious". Actually, I just like keeping track of the break ever point of collector cars as to when it's economically practical to restore as opposed to buying a car that's original or already restored. Since the author of this thread is cost conscious, I thought he might be keeping track. Also, others that are contemplating such a project might be interested to know what they are in for from both a time and financial commitment.

I should have put a smiley on my post. It was meant more "tongue and cheek" than anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No problem, I didn't take it personally. I don't want to hijack the thread, so I withdraw the question. On with the rebuild!

Going back to original L80E Light ivory.
Not too exciting but original and clean. Black interior, silver negative stripe and chrome bumpers. Polished 2.0 Fuchs, Euro lenses and funky Euro additional fogs.
No backup light. I wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm pretentious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
My brakes are zink colored (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So the paint shop said it would take six weeks to paint my Teener. As usual, painters have no concept of time and are generally full of crap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

So....They did it in a week and a half. Kind of a problem for me as I had a wrecked 944 being torn apart in my shop and the six weeks would have been convenient. But as I try not to assess the oral hygiene of a free equine I ditched the water pumper and am moving into the build phase of my true love.

I have the answers I need on the motor and I should be able to put it together over the holiday. The I'll start putting the body back together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I am particularly looking forward to doing the interior and figuring out how to mount my cool Euro fogs on the front bumper.
