How deep is that crank in the flywheel Phil? You can't machine it out?

Just the standard 12KG/8KG setup.

It has been measured up and is still quite healthy. no signs of damage, scouring or wear on the bore which is always good.

Some random photos taken along the way:

Did some cleaning and painting:

Out with the motor:

New ECU - I ended up mounting the mounts from the original computer to the power fc as the pfc doesn't come with mounting hardware (but velco!)

Someone tried to remove my wing mirror prior and rounded the nut. After welding several nuts/bolts onto it I finally got it off

Looks good Phil!

Ganadors look so sweet.. Do you think it's worth taking the manifold off and cleaning and painting it? I'm in two minds about it.

Cleaning, definitely.. Can't have a fresh motor with dirty ancillaries.
I decided to paint it so it's easier to clean.. Not sure if this will be true though. Time will tell.

If I had the patience, I would have sanded them back and polished them.

As always everything is looking mint!
Same spring rates as mine I'm starting to wonder if I should have gone stiffer.
I didn't want to go too stiff as I was adding sway bars but now there in I'm still wondering...
Grippy in the rear, good squat. Little pitchy in the front
