15/16 or 7/8"?

13/16 as far as I know.

All engine mounts and racks etc.. have been sandblasted and have a new layer of two component industrial paint (love that stuff!).

New Exedy clutch mounted and the engine was ready to go back in the car.

Thanks! This 510 had originally a booster but the membrane was broken. Found a replacement booster in Australia but found it too expensive. After some more searching I managed to find a smaller booster sold for AE86's in at a shop in Ireland. Ordered the booster and new master cylinder (same size as...

Man I love the way you are working! Well done and tidy! It's like I'm watching " Project Binky" on youtube.

The internal rotors are 13% longer and move more oil than the smaller stock oil pump so it builds pressure faster at low speeds. An old L20B I...

Before and after


Engine being rebuild with all new parts. And the oil pan and cam cover new layer of paint.

Then started to remove all the paint and other stuff with a wire wheel and damn.. What a horrendous job it was.
Fresh new layer of epoxy.
And then the best part.. painting the color!

When everything was removed from the engine bay I started to look for rust. Only rust issue I found was the cowl for water drainage.
