Any last recommendations before rebuild is done!

Hey M8s!

I'm rebuilding my 2.2 T engine and its been quite a journey so far, enjoyed every step of the rebuild, etc....

a part of my project was to follow a better spec engine so the plans begin with this since the engine was not bad at all, just old and forgotten by the PO but still with a bit of love anything could be done!

My current project is!!!

Service:
--> Tranny
--> Starter
--> Brakes
--> Suspension, E.R. Bushings all the way

Add:
--> E spec camshafts (thanks to John D. for the advice about the E cams) not yet bought
--> Higher CR pistons (not sure but I think E spec as well) not yet bought
--> Do some tricky things with the Zenith Carbs, I know they are not the best option but still it is a challenge to me!)
--> Torsion Bars, I think 21, 27/28
--> Maybe! Sway bars
--> Wevo Coupler and WM SSK ( Thanks to John Cramer advice )

Surprises when I bought:
--> Carrera Chain Tensioner Update done(found out last week)
--> S suspension, 3.5 spacing with konis

Crossroad:
--> Oil bypass mod, I don't know about this since is not a regular track car, just a twice a year track day at most...
--> I've read about SC oil pump (John Cramer experience) but I haven't found errors about original pumps whatsoever
--> Al Flywheel should be the one! I've tried before but don't know if it is worth to have


Some pics of the beginning! thanks all of you guys, every post teach a lot and motivate to keep doing it


The moving!



Some pics, more will be comming! as soon as I find my camera cables :P





Thanks M8s
