Ok, fuck my life. I just found a Metric to Inches unit conversion error in the engine FSM with regards to valve clearances. :hahano:
I'll take a picture once I stop crying. |

Dear lord, why are none of my calculations come out correctly? :vash:
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1437537453 Probably because 0.12 mm ≠ 0.0111 in :hahano: It does not gain me anything, but it was enough to make me scratch my head and doubt everything for about 5 minutes.

Hm. So which is correct?

The metric is correct as far as I can tell. The actual spec for the intake is 0.0083 ±0.0011 as called out in every other location in this manual, or any other manual I downloaded in the last half hour or so.

Need a hand this weekend? I have no plans.
|
Sure! More hands the merrier! I need to get the shim thing worked out, and of course I'll have to buy more beer :)

The metric units are the native design dimensions. The English units contain conversion/roundoff errors. 1 inch = 25.4mm (exactly).

That was heavier than expected. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1437663018 The fun part about this image is that you can aaaaaaaallmost read the headstamp from the bolt. :giggle: As you can see, I am strong and fuzzy just like bear. Rawr. (honestly, I won't be doing that again without a hoist) |
You need to get some sun.

Wow I know that's a heavy assembly! I bet that sucked! I carried my shortblock only and it was pretty damn heavy.... I would guess that assembly you lifted is over 200 lbs... I think the shortblock is around 150.
Did you hear back anything about the shim issue? Side note- motor looks pretty! |
assembled long block is right around 300 undressed

<br />Do you even own a Miata? :fawk: <br /> <br />Where are my mail kittens. |
FWIW, Ryan G runs his oil feed through the opening behind the cam plate without issue. It is a clean way to route it.
|
Sweet, thanks Six. :likecat: I'll go hustle his build thread and see if I can find some pics.
|
It has begun.
I dropped the engine off at Gesso's place last night, tonights task will be to put the Miata back together so I can drive it up to his place tomorrow and tear it apart again. Still no tracking number on the shims. I'm somewhat nervous about this detail. |
Am I missing something or do you tear apart your car every weekend to do 1...thing...at....a.....time?
LOL Need to change an exhaust bushing? tear whole car apart down to the tub Need to test fit a lug nut? tear whole car apart down to the tub need to try a new shift knob? tear whole car apart down to the tub :giggle: |
All that tearing down to the tub helps you get it done in 2 hours flat!
