86na engine after 243k miles...
 

started taking my old 86na engine apart a week or so ago.... 243k miles on it, here's some pics if anyone cares to see.

oh, you'll also get to see what happens when something (i dunno what) falls into the #1 hole and gets hammered a bit...

Probably some moron who didn't clean out the spark plug area before he changed the plugs and dropped a aluminum nut into the cylinder hole and didn't notice. What kind of idiot would do something like that...

Oh yeah. Freaking thrilled. Damn thing hasn't been on the road for a year because of it. But... it was a labor of love, and I'm glad I had the chance to get some experience. ;)

Thanks, I have smething to look forward to with mine 86 which has " ONLY" 125k miles on it!!!

Yikes! Mine has 218k miles and I'm thinking about a possible rebuild soon. So far I have NO problems though. I've had it since 96k miles.

Yeah, great, how much money have you put into since the 98K miles? Whats the secret?
