Thanks guys.

This is the bottom end. We still have to verify there is no contact between the pistons and +1mm valves. There are more than 2mm over the size of the valves in the reliefs but it is better to assemble the heads and rotate the timed assembly to be certain.

I paid for/picked up the parts of the motor that fit in the Z. I'll pick up the block tomorrow in the CR-V.

So only a FWD three cylinder or are you tossing it in the back?

Or are you going to be a trend setter and just do left wheel drive?

Looks great, how much did you end up getting it for? I just put my silver CLS up for Sale this week. 93,600, on the car in excellent shape - take a look...

Motor is out and heads are on!!!!!!!!!















Old motor front timing cover open.









Clutch isn't that bad.





Timing is set & my only real fear is squashed. No contact between valves and pistons. WHEW!



He welded the extraneous water fittings that are unnecessary minus the oil warmer.

Me either. I was disappointed there was a delay due to getting the aftermarket injectors in but he got past it and it will start in the morning after he gets the oil, coolant and misc lines buttoned up.
