Nah haven't had it dyno'd yet. The last time we got PEAKN6 on the dyno was a few weeks ago and the guy said it's time to rebuild the motor coz one cylinder is lazy and it's gettin worn out....so we thought we'd clean up one of our spare motors, put it in PEAKN6 and take it to the Jamestown Show coz the guy we go to for our dyno runs is there doin the dyno shootout, so we're gonna enter it in the comp HAHA...not to win, just to see wat this motor pulls.
It was rebuilt a few years back, and it's got 40thou over pistons, alloy timing gears, and yeah it had all new rings and bearings. It had a few oil leaks tho so that's why we pulled it down. We replaced all the gaskets, cleaned the carbon off the top of the pistons, in the head chambers, then put it all back together with the new gaskets.
The paint we used was VHT engine stuff.....altho now that I think of it the exhaust will prolly peel it off coz the exhaust gets hotter. But that's ok coz they're just my spare EFI extractors, the ones we'll be using are in PEAKN6 so we might buy some exhaust paint and spray them ones up b4 the motor goes in.
We've given ourselves a week (pulled the spare motor out last Sunday) to clean up the spare motor, then change it over into PEAKN6, and while the motor is out of PEAKN6 we're gonna clean up the engine bay a bit b4 the new one goes in.
Monday morning we leave to go to Jamestown with a local car club, so we gotta have her runnin b4 then. If it doesn't run for some reason, we'll prolly take Mum's VX over so we can still be a spectator
