SamHolzmann Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm sure the shop did this but make you look over all of the valve retainers super good. From everything I have read s50's built prior to 10/95 have retainer problems. The only reason I know this is because when I blew my motor up there were a couple ready to give out and let the valve drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Ordered a stone for the block, time for some "resurfacing" Was going to tackle that this weekend, but Brooke and I are going to USAIR for an autocross event. The track at shawano is insanely cool (lots of elevation changes and overall a tighter track) I'll be co-driving her Miata. I'll be sure to fire up the Gopro's and post some hairdresser nonsense up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Stone also showed up Tomorrow the random gaskets and crap will show up. That should be everything needed to get the car decently back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehRaydarlover Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Spray some kroil or other oil down as a lubricant before using the stone. Really a lapping block and compound would a be better option to keep scratches out of the surface. Sharpening stones can be pretty corse for a machined sealing surface.
