Re: OST-070: 7AGE for an N2 Levin

Re: OST-070: 7AGE for an N2 Levin
I'll have to remember these mods for the 7A-GE I want to build. Speaking of oiling and mods, would it be worthwhile to smooth out or polish the inner section of the block behind where the oil filter sits? And to radius that hole where the oil flows out and into the filter? without a doubt.... radii...

Re: OST-070: 7AGE for an N2 Levin
Epoxy instead of paint? Have you heard of ceramic coating a block, for shedding heat? I was talking to someone at a shop who has ceramic coated parts for me, was getting some ideas. I was thinking about ceramic coating the 4A block that I've been using as a guinea pig (smoothing out the inside cast...

Re: OST-070: 7AGE for an N2 Levin
What is the advantage of the MRP's wet sump, compared to a normal AE86 sump? 3 distinct advantages: 1) Volume... the MRP pan holds 5 quarts, the largest stock pan holds 4, and some 4AG pans holds only 3.5. 2) built in windage tray as well as baffles/trap doors to keep oil around the pick up. 3) ext...

Re: OST-070: 7AGE for an N2 Levin
I suspect a lot of work going into the head for this one. Big cams and valves. Replacement of the valve seats to accommodate the new valves?
