The Full Banana Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 A year later, and I'm just about to button up installing a fresh engine built with Wiseco pistons and h-beam rods in a painstakingly refinished engine bay. This car has been a real test of my patience and perseverance. HipMF, KaiserRolls, m42b32 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Full Banana Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks, guys! New motor because I broke all 5 pistons in the original engine (which all had 240k on them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Full Banana Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 It's all back together, and I drove it. OATOA engine feels happy. Only 15 miles in, but so far things are good. I'm running with engine break-in oil, keeping RPM varied <4k and throttle input <60%. Plan is to keep putting around in it like that, change the oil after 50 miles for another batch of break-in oil, and then change that batch of oil out at around 500 miles.

The Full Banana Posted July 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Does anyone have a recommendation for an experienced tuner that I could take this car to have it tuned professionally on a dyno? The car runs Megasquirt MS3x, so I would need to find someone experienced and willing to tune that. Also, had an opportunity to get out and have some photos taken for an upcoming magazine feature. No idea how long until that will come out, but here's a photo I snapped while hanging around. m42b32 and straight6pwr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good with MS tuning and TS and his prices are pretty reasonable. 10/10 recommend Located on the north side of Fond du lac. He did some re-tuning on my car (running MS3 pro) a little over a month back and it has been running flawless ever sense. Shoot him a message on Facebook, super nice guy and he knows his shit.

gilber33 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Tom and I went to the Brew City Cruise Night weekly car show this past Tuesday and the 240 was looking really good in person. The e30 was there with the family and we talked a lot about how great it was to have the cars at a point where you could just take it for a drive without any headaches.

The Full Banana Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Truth. It was so nice. Can’t wait for more of that—hopefully Lake Mills this coming weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
