jeph Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 did some more work on the block today took the pan off to tap it and checked the bearings. actually looks like someone rebuilt it recently. also looks like they went to the store for a gasket kit and came home with a large tube of permatex.......... Pistons looked fairly clean considering how dirty the oil was. (Got Silicone?) Also took the oil filter adapter to work to clean and sand blast it looks new now lol gaskets and high volume pump on the way in the mail and the right arps should be on their way soon.

jeph Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Got the new fuel pump today, walbro 255, Big thanks to Ratsun member (Josh K.) appreciate the deal man! good seller. Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Got the new fuel pump today, walbro 255, Big thanks to Ratsun member (Josh K.) appreciate the deal man! good seller. why'd you put foam around it? Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 That foam comes in the mounting kit. It helps insulate against all the noise those damn things have. The Walbro 255 inline/external is a loud mother fucker, especially when mounted to the car. It would resonate even louder with out that foam. Think of the foam as a Beer Coozie, that's practically the type of foam it is too.PS. Not sure what you paid for this, but you can get the same exact thing on eBay for roughly $89 with shipping. Got mine in 2 days for my KA swap. 1 Quote Link to comment

mhub91 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 True. But when it come in a Walbro box, Has WALBRO scribed on it, has a P/N and "authentic looking" instructions I feel safe buying from ebay. :thumbup: But that's for a another thread. I like where the KA is going. Looking really good. 1 Quote Link to comment

mhub91 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I like the flat black on the block. That's (surprisingly) unique. 1 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 yeah me too at first i was like shit its flat black... i ment to buy semi gloss but after it dried i was like hmmmm that doesnt look too bad and will be easy to spot any leaks. Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Took my head to a Machine shop to get the valves grinded and seated and head pressure checked and new valve stem seals, and i guess the (napa) machine shop did my resurface with a belt sander? and the new machine shop was like ur head is all wavy so they resurfaced it for free since i got screwed by the (napa) Then it was time to bolt the head on! 1 Quote Link to comment
