Another quick update, engine and suspension build underway and more wiring headaches!
Crank, new shells and shims in place. ARP bolts all fitted and torqued down, crank turns smoothly
Head build underway
Rods ready for assembly to pistons
New LMA's, guides, valves, springs and retainers all fitted
Front arms back from shot blasting and powder coating
New Energy Suspension bushes fitted ready for putting back on the car - a lot easier to fit than remove!
Okay, the wiring..... After much checking, checking and re-checking I thought I'd be ready to finish the chassis side of the Milspec and move onto the dashboard loom. I was wrong. I found a few issues that took me a little while to sort out in my head. It looks like I had wired the Oil Pressure warning light to the ECU signal earth. Easy fix, I had a bundle of wires all going down the same branch that I can swap around so just had to remove the overbraid and heatshrink, rewire and close back up with new labels, but I also took the time to add a MAP sensor and remove the IACV after talking to the engine builder and Maz at Hond-R. Also needed to rewire the TPS as the pins were incorrect but that was a 30 second job
