Engine Taken out (again) ~

Finally manage to secure a place where i can leave mango on tripod for at least a month's time for me to slowly do all the tweaking and overhaul his heart. As I had a sure feeling that one or more of it's cylinder is loosing compression. 

 As expected from our McGuyver, my 4age-20v is taken out from mango within 1 hour and taken apart in 2~ XD~ buggy fast he work.

And to our~ (mcguyver said it's his first time saw this kind of condition after so many 20v he had taken apart) HORROR~! cylinder one and four have this 'crack' kinda mark on it's cylinder and both piston ring were about 0.2mm smaller. Not sure it's a lot but it definitely effected mango's hours power. 

So with the twist of event.... an engine block change is in evadable~ Good thing i had two more black-top block in spares~   

Breathing lighter~ more air-taken-in ^_^

While waiting for my custom make brake caliper bracket to be done, i manage to get myself a set of cam from the 4age-20V black-top which had 8.21mm valve-lift  compare to 7.91mm lift in silver top. 

So we were hoping to be able to let more air going into mango's heart during high-rev time. 

While waiting for McGuyver to disassemble the cam, i took the cover to paint it in with my TKA Green paint ^.^ hoho~ at least it dun look too dull in the engine bay :P
Finally the cam was in~ notice that the black-top cam also was lighter compare to silvertop cam. The back side of the cam which it's level, you should notice a slight "sliming" down portion of it. 
The man behind all the mod in mango, McGuyver (Ah Yong).
Old silvertop cam taken out. they will rest in my storage untill they were needed for service later (hopefully not, :P)

Mango is still in a run-in stage now, and get it's air-fuel ratio turning, resetting his air intake amount. But already we can tell a slight increase of power during 3K~5K range ^.^ 

Good news indeed. Will update later when the system in running smoothly.
