Evski's Re55 22R Goodness

[Johno]

Just read the whole thing from start to finish. Its looking real nice and its good to see your doing everything properly. It all looks very tidy and nice work on the porting :yes: If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the head work?

[Evan G]

well i went down to my nearest engine machinist and was asking him for prices for decking/ mild port etc etc, he said dw dw ill look after you

 

ive handed him $500 so far waiting for him to ring me back with the full price.

 

 

anyways. today i fitted a new relay for the starter motor. all good but wont turn over.

 

relay is fitted correctly 100% sure of that. (i fitted a test light to the output, when key is at crank the light comes on)

 

the wire has contenuitly. i pulled down the starter lastweek and gave it a goooood clean. didnt touch the solenoid tho?

 

its one of those tiny starters so i don't need to pull the manifold off to get it out :yes:

 

NFI! its gotta be the solenoid

[Evan G]

or maybe theres no earth's on the motor LOL DOH!

[Evan G]

ITS RUNNING! went to a cruise to pakenham to pick up some coilovers for a mate and wore in my engine on the way there.

 

pulls till 5000rpm then runs outta puff. sounds f@$king mean but

 

oil pressure is low for my liking 6psi hot idle and 23psi at 2000rpm

 

other than the oil pressure all good!

 

ive nver seen so much smoke in my life when i booted it when i exited my street, cars were flicking there high beams LOL about 3mins later all clear

This build has been coming along nicely, good to see that you have the motor in and running sweet.

 

What's next on the things to do?

 

Keep up the good work.
