Well now that "Rattle Trap" is up and running, Peter has started on Project "Oiler". He is going to be doing cam & lifters swap along with all new gaskets, clean-up engine bay and a little body work to his 92LX.
It begins....
Motor coming out.....

im just curiious as to why everyone puts those stock manifold/headers back on a motor once its already out... they look like they are twisted and crushed at points...
oh and the engine was in its "rust prevention" mode...

THE WIRE DOSNT ACTUALY GO TO THE MAP ITS A POWER WIRE FOR MY ELECTRIC FANS THE RELAY IS FOR SAID FANS!! AS FOR THE HOSE CLAMP IT WAS A QUICK FIX FOR THE MISSING C -CLIP THAT RETAINS THE CLUTCH CABLE!

Even with stock heads, there has been proven power gains with mandrel bent headers. Looks good though!
