Its been a while since i have updated my build. to be honest not alot has happerned. The block is still away getting bored, honed and compression ratios checked. I have however been working on the head. My first task was to replace the Valve stem oil seals

Its been a while since i last posted by progress on my CA18DET build, it has been coming along quite smoothly, the head was sent away to a local engineering company to get the head refaced just to make sure everything is flat in anticipation for the metal head gasket. Once the head was back i started lapping in the valves.

My Nissan 200sx S13 has done me proud. Over 2 years, 300bhp and 120000 miles without a rebuild it has finally bitten the bullet and died. It managed todo 3 to 4 drift days and various sneeky roundabout trips, before giving up. However onward and upwards this little section of JapPower will host my engine rebuild project. This will be my first ever rebuild and im hoping to learn a few things and make a reliable 350-400hp CA18DET in the process.
