so i thought i'll get to watch kelum work on the engine while someone else did the datto today.

not a chance. looks like kelum is the only bugger with an ounce of common sense and of course skill around int he garage. this is all we managed to do in the morning with the teg:

cleaned the valves, and then ground the inlets with valve grinding paste. guess the teg will be on hold tomorrow as well since the datsun is being worked on...

Machan couldnt you get this done professionally by the engine re conditioner? I feel you would have got a little bit more if you did it that way specially since your looking for good performance. Just a thought anyways.

just noticed that i do have flat faced valves. as opposed to the curved ones. very interesting. the spoon sports rumor just might be true. well one can live in hope, i guess.

here are the finished wheels. finally picked them up after powder coating:

finally, we get the proverbial ball rolling. haiyyo after so long, it feels wierd when some work is actually done...

here's a shot from where i meditate. chanting "nam myoho rengek kyo" and hoping for miracles...

so the springs are in, as are the cams, valves etc etc. bolted all the itty bitty pieces. and mounted the intake manifold for kicks.

There it is! Something I've been waiting for! Made me remember how I felt when the engine of my A72 was being put together... Man what a feeling that was. I can totally second the Monica Bellucci argument.

Wow. what a sight! is that a new after market manifold ?

Not know much about engines, but I can surely say this engine looks so damn sexy!

those two orangy wheels (cam ) looks like Monicas tits wrapped by leather! lol
