It's OK! You're doing a great job so far. That fact that you have a passion for this stuff says allot. I did too, but the brain is willing, but the body tells me Oh No You Don't! LOL My days of throwing Hemi's, the old 392's mind you, are over.

Here's the last motor I did and probably will never do one again

The first Test Drive

Thanks. It's evolved since then, but got tabled because of my back. I just started to get back on it.

so while at work today i was thinking about polishing my compressor housing, so i got the turbo/manifold up on the bench and realized i need to rebuild my turbo the shaft play is a little to loose for my comfort level and it will be apart so why not polish it. guy doing my valve train upgrades has been sick but he said he was hoping to get done with it this weekend possibly

only thing stopping me from polishing the compressor is that my first polishing job was on a tiny Garrett t3 off of a chrysler lebaron that i installed on my honda civic. it took me so many hrs. to polish that thing i must have been stupid but an estimated 50 to 100 hours later and BLING it showed my reflection perfectly i have more experience polishing now so i'm sure it will be faster but by how much?

There's nothing like a zero'd motor you built yourself. You know what was done and it was done right. You're just at the mercy of the part quality. Been there, but on gassers.

The only engine I ever had sent out was an absolute disaster. Example. They bored 10 over, not 11 or 12. Put 10 pistons in. didn't clean, nothing was tight. And it ran! The whole engine was trash. I was able to salvage the pistons, but I'm not proud of it.

I'm same way when I rebuild cat or John Deere engines! Myself. Without help, stresses me out to not know for sure if it was torqued right or put in right etc..

ya been there done that and i wasnt to proud of it imagine rebuilding a motor and realizing you have the wrong rod barings so you tell your boss and he disagres and tells you to put them in anyways then after customer picks it up he calls and says his motor is making a knocking sound so the car gets brought back and the boss orders the correct rod barings and all we do is drop the oil pan and roll new rod barings in and send the customer down the road like it never happend
