Default New Motor Built and Going In *vid added*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUEx7wEhUcA

Just thought I'd share my most recent upgrade. My old motor really wasn't in too bad of shape, but I had a few knicks on the pistons, and if you looked under the car, it was leaking oil from just about everywhere possible. You couldn't even fix the leaks, because you didn't know where they were because there was oil pretty much everywhere. So I decided to just go ahead and put a bult motor in. And here she is.

~2.0 4g63~
.02 Overbore
8.5 : 1 Mahle Pistons
Eagle Rods
King Bearings
Balance Shaft Elimination
And hopefully no more leaks!

She should be up and running in about a week. Hopefully I can get it on the dyno and tuned for pump gas before winter really hits. Thinking about 20psi on pump, 30psi on race.

I'd strongly advise against the black block paint...if you've had leak issues and its obviously a concern, that black is gonna make it hard to see leaks.

I think that advice might be a bit late seems how it's already painted, unless he wants to take some paint stripper to his block.

i actually saw a kid with a red b16. Thought it looked gay but he said it was easier to see leaks. Imma paint mine white (not really)

That's a pretty good idea, but ya it's a bit late now. It's black, and staying black. Grey would have looked pretty clean though, oh well. Hopefully my leaks are gone now though.

The black paint is a thomas theorem, if I can't see any leaks, then there isn't any leaks
