Red Pepper Racing

Ha-ha smartass!
From what I can tell it is identical in both port opening size/shape and screw holes to the Pr3 you sent me, so I assume just a stock one.

Putting the new bearings in/re-installing the crank-










and as you can see I need to start getting this together fast, I'm running out of room!

Looking good man! And yes, you are almost out of room. lol

I also received my bumper lights from a certain "Sway", for the body portion of my project.

I also managed to snag what was said to be the last brand new Si bumper, or at least one of them.

wow, lucky... I need one now too. lol

Got the oil pickup and baffle on, going to do the rear main seal tomorrow and hopefully put the oil pan on unless I find something I missed!

Got the bottom end closed up today, also got my head gasket set ordered, and my headstuds ordered.







My counter is clearing!

this is a proper build,
id recomend leaving the Altinater brackets off the motor will make things easier when installing motor

Yeah I probably should, but if I can manage it would be nice to hoist the engine in using them!

Here are pics from last night, I was doing some valve lapping. I'm going to pick up my head gasket kit when I go in for work too.







And I decided to clean up my fuel rail a little bit, I'm filing off the casting marks, and I think I'm going to cut off the unused mounting bolts, maybe polish the whole thing a bit.

DO WORK! This IS a proper build. Really inspirational. Next on my 'learning agenda" will be how to work the insides of an engine. Maybe next summer?! Thanks for the inspiration.

Ha thank you very much! I was starting to get worried because of the lack of responses but it had plenty of views! Im sure it will pick up when I have more questions again.

Gonna put more pics up tonight too.

Got my gaskets and headstuds! Hope I truely DID need the GSR studs!

Does anyone know what these are for? They are hollow, steel rings a couple inches in diameter. By hollow I mean they are completely round and enclosed, but from the weight you can tell they are not solid steel.

They came with my cylinder head gasket kit-

They look like exhaust gaskets, from the manifold to the front pipe.
