LoginStarted tearing it apart and found bird nests, bugs, and even small animal bones. eventually my first noob mistake happened. I couldn't get the E-shaft bolt out and decided to break it down from the rear only later to find out that makes it impossible to get the e-shaft bolt out later, so i put it back togther and still can't get the thing out. I have an army of impact guns coming to see which ones strong enough to break it loose. So for now I've bean cleaning things as much as I can.

LoginAs far as the build goes, I stil havent decided 100% what I'm going to do. Some form of porting will take place, all new seals, gaskets, ect. so im open to ideas. Things probably wont move very fast either, summers almost over and schools fast approaching. But for now the rear rotor makes for a good center peice in my room
