I can't wait for SSCabrio to comment

[aron56]

worth every penny sweat and curses...

Me too waiting for SSCabrio's comment on this...

[bravosx]

Fuh! Macam Type "R" punya block aje........kekeke.


Nice job!

[SSCabrio]

Eh why la, I am honored my comments are appreciated or is it the other way round...

Very nice, spark plugs cones identical to Toyota's KE engines.

Fan blade would be better in white or yellow. (powdercoat even better) highlight the fan..

But, while you are at it, get the A/C converted to R134 system, wont cost much
get a compressor from A Volvo 240/740 Zexel, change all hoses, get a similiar condensor,
blower/evaporator can be cleaned and reused but change the exp. valve.
Design the new AC hoses so that it will be hidden from view,

Mate , what paint is being used for the block, I am getting some special paint from US,
, will never peel off specially designed for engine painting. here cant get even ACE doesnt hv.

Well they did say to use heat proof paint..but i did use the normal paint on the engine block..am surprised it still stays till today... it worked for me using normal paint on engine block..

Thanx for the comments SS. The block is normal paint (no prob coz the surface is roough, paint will stick to it). The rocker cover and intake manifold is high temp paint.

Btw I found out the hard way when importing "canned paint" from overseas - it is ILLEGAL here in Msia... just to let you know in advance.

[bravosx]

Bukan illegal la........you mesti ada "permit". This is to protect our local industry so they say. What is there to protect I dunno coz they dun fecking produce the same thing at all. Same goes for specialized refrigeration units.

Brian that one biasala..give to one crony and let him sit there and make easy money and that fellow would fluctuate the price higher and pass on to the suppliers > end consumers.

and the crony not only malays...

similar to steel industry....

you want to import medical grade steel.. have to get clearance and approval from southern steel and also Perwaja...

[Jack]

same like importing tyres or rubber products, need permit, and since M'sia is a rubber producing country, importing any rubber product will require permit. Honestly, if u use a freight forwarder, you can ask how to circumvent this thing, sometimes a matter of changing the description on the invoice, and say "gasket" instead of rubber gasket, boleh lepas.

Mebe paint have to declare as something else.

[bravosx]

Maybe once can lepas. The next consignment hits a snag, it will lead back to the previous one. Then you'll be in big big trouble. Not only you but also the party who prepared the documents.

[joe_yong]

sorry to divert - sometimes it is where you apply - which state of MITI or MIDA...

[SSCabrio]

But the chap I am ordering it thru has bought it many times.

Normal paint will be ok for a short while, the moment you
wash the engine it will start peeling off.
