4G15 MIVEC Long Block Disassemble

Pulled apart a blown 4G15 to scope out the internals. It had lost cylinder #1. Who knows where it went @_@ Head seems fine.

Z27AG 4G15 - Wreck Motor - Cracked Cylinder Block

I bought a wrecked colt, but to my surprise under the timing covers and behind the engine mount.







The block was cracked. The engine mount had cracked the block @_@
Head seems fine as well as all the other bits and gearbox.

It came with all new plugs and screws.











.











It is hold in with 1 bolt (firewall side), push pins and some screws that bush in.
Took a bit of elbow grease to pull it out, as the plugs were stuck in there good with sand.
Apart from that it went it easy enough.

They are around $70US, local in Australia $110ea

Rota Grid - 15x8 +0 - Z7AG

This is how the car sits without any guard work.

I already have a slight camber on the fronts.
These rims will most likely be used for track (that is what i tell myself). I have fallen in love with the look though.
Hope to make em fit nicely!

Previous rims were 17x7 +42 or +45 ( I can't really remember). They ran a 205/40
As seen on the photos are 205/50 on the 15x8

I was looking into the YR Advance car. They seem to run a 17x8 +35 with a 215/40. Apparently to get them to fit on the front they need around 1.5-2degree camber. The Rears have about 3mm clearance.

YR Advance 17x8 +35 Rays Rims RE30 According to my translations. They use to run a 17x7.5 +38.

I gave it a clean with some steel wool. It would come up pretty good if you hit it with metal polish. I didn't have any around.
