I am very impressed with DHL and Project Shift.

We needed 6 new CP Piston rings for 87.5 overbore. And a new thicker head gasket, to lower compression.

Made the order with Burgy and Vac on Friday last week. The parts left Vac in the USA on Friday, were at Customs in Johannesburg on Sunday morning, cleared yesterday afternoon and they were delivered to Project Shift at 8:30am today. Damn fast service. But customs charged me more than half the worth of what the goods were. Something fishy.

Anyway. Here are some pics.

The piston rings still in their boxes.

The CP piston rings

Just the numbers I want to see. S54 87.5mm .040"

The raised head gasket.. Stock is 0.03". This is .040"

Just to make sure... Head gasket number. 87.5mm 040".

Alright... got the parts... Lets do this. Pics and videos from the engineers to shortly Follow. Jezebel is coming back stronger than ever. I finally get to drive the real car I bought over a year ago.

Not necessarily - the drop in compression may very well rob him of some power..

Back from the engineers after having dropped the block head and pistons.

Major work to be undertaken with hammer and chisel as motor was damaged by overfuelling and our k@k petrol.

Rings and other goodies on their way in from Obama land and we should be assembling on Saturday if they arrive on time.
Colour for the block is being mixed at present and it will definitely be to everyone's liking

I have booked an appointment with my manicurist as Crash is a cheapskate and refuses to have one in attendance.

Music for the next video will be Schiller or I will put the pistons in back to front......as well as assemble it with FIAT bolts (consider yourself advised Mr Crash).

Looking forward to the build as this will be the first charged motor that I shall be building.

We have decided to charge an entrance fee for those wishing to come and see a well muscled stud assemble the engine.

Tickets at the gate at the most reasonable price of R1000 (bring your refreshments with) and we shall also have a preview screening of Crash's latest movie idea "jezebel you $lut you broke my piggy bank"

Stay tuned it is only 5 sleeps away.

Almost died laughing at this post. :biglol:
