Over the winter I ran into some "complications" with my ZX5 so I decided to do a little overhaul. I started at the beginning of November and I just got the car back on the road yesterday. Anyways, heres what I did:

New Pistons - Supertech's
New Rods - Eagles
New Head - Massive Ultimate Head
New Cams - Comp Stg. 3's

The point of this all?
- Learn a little
- Have some fun :)

I built this motor myself, with the added help of a friend of mine. I also got all the machining done by Head + Block Specialty in Stoney Creek/Hamilton Ontario. They are an excellent shop to go to for specialty engine machining. I would recomend them to anybody. Now for all the fun photos :)

At this point in time I just got the engine block back from the machinist. They even painted it for me :)


Given I have a new head, I might as well take a picture of that too!


I began with the main studs....


As well as the intake manifold. I also layed the camshafts in place for the time being


Back to the block, time to install the new crank and bearings!


Pistons and rods too :)


A few block accessories......


The windage tray I had to modify for the ARP main studs


Just a cool shot


Ready for the head :)


Head torqued and ready for the rest of the components!


The final product ;)


I put many many hours into this and Im proud to say that I did it. I've always wanted to build a motor and its not bad considering this is my first one and it seems to be running great so far! I'm currently in the middle of datalogging and tuning with Tom from Focus-Power. Once May rolls around I'll be interested to see what the car does on the track. Hope you guys like it :)
