Christmas Update to the MR2
on: December 27, 2008, 00:42:23 AM
Update from today and yesterday:

Shims that I had to get made up



Valve clearances set and cams torqued up


Fidanza vernier pulleys on


Timing belt


Bottom timing cover and crank pulley on


Had to bolt a bit of iron to the head to mount the magenetic base of the dial guage to so I could find true TDC in order to degree the cams properly


degree wheel in place


lightened flywheel bolted on with new ARP bolts


And the 525 lb/ft clutch


And thats it! Just the manifolds to go on, bolt the gearbox to her and shes going back in the car.

looking good.... tho why the "Fidanza vernier pulleys"

are they lighter or something ?  Im guessing they give better timing adjustments (dont know what the originals were like) but is that about it ?  iirc from your other posts they cost a small fortune ?
