My block has gone all rusty from having been cleaned but not oiled or painted while at the machinist. I'm having a rough time stripping the thing of the remaining rust and paint (not much left). Any

Agree. I rolled my first car doing some pretty pedestrian stuff. Lack of experience. Thankfully it was a closed car, but it was a rusty '75 Civic. -- Matt Liggett SysAdmin, ToolGuy, Synergy Leverager

I'm currently rebuilding my 1275 and I wonder: What is average bearing life (mains and rod) in a stock 1275? How much is that shortened by building a hot street/autox motor (not a race motor)? I'm tr

I assume this is to be an all-at-once, off-the-road restoration. The organization first! I would clean, paint small parts, and organize first. Clean, painted parts go in boxes protected from each oth

About to take the block to be measured and [maybe] bored. The Haynes manual specs the bore at 2.78 in. For the 948 and 1098 engines it lists the bore to thousandths. Does anyone know is the spec 2.78

Ok, I can't measure my block (don't have a bore gage), so I don't know if/how much the block needs bored. The shop will do that for me. So, they measure it, tell me how much it needs bored, and I tak

Ensure that the little bullet-shaped thing at the end of the spring is clean of any casting flash or other roughness. You want it to slide smoothly in its bore in the block. Clean it up a little with

Please! A Miata is nowhere near the spirit of an Elan. It is comparatively huge and overweight, for starters. They have little more in common than front-engine, RWD, convertible. -- Matt Liggett '60

Oh, I see that resemblance (external design) plain as day. I only have contention with the idea that it embodies the same spirit as an Elan or that it shares engineering principles or mechanical desi
