Dustbin like a lot of bits that won't be going back on the car. I only kept a few bits that "may" come in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a full exploded diagram of the caliper internals if that helps? I will try and bring the book to work and scan. On 12/18/2017 at 9:55 PM, dmrichards said: top job!

It's not the easiest job, I guess that's why some companies charge a small fortune to rebuild calipers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Happy New Year! Brief update, did some work before the Christmas break but didn't get time to upload being away with the family. I cleaned and painted the gearbox casing. It's going off for a full rebuild (carbon syncro's, bearings, seals and shims) and change over to 4.7 final drive but I wanted to wire brush and check everything before it goes: Gentle brass wire wheels in a drill made short work of the surface crud and corrosion Once cleaned off, I used the same paint as the block. At this stage it's just to protect it as I'm sure it'll be stripped and cleaned again at the gearbox place Head is finally finished and is having the last skim and check. Quick spec: B18C Type R head Welded intake ports, hand finished to match Jenvey Throttle body manifold Gas flowed intake and exhaust ports 3 angle valve seats Polished compression chambers new Ferrea valve guides, new Ferrea valve stem oil seals, S2 standard compression valves, S2 dual valve springs, S2 titanium valve retainers new OEM valve collets, Toda Spec C cams, S2 cam seal, S2 adjustable cam gears, S2 LMA's Rebuilt V-TEC solenoid, all new seals and filter S2 V-TEC solenoid cover All new seals and gaskets Block build should be starting now . It's already had the block guard fitted, been bored to 81.5mm for safety and re-honed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
