Since it was the first time teardown, pictures had to be taken, bolts had to go in labeled baggies and the mid-teardown beer break took up some time.
helluva project, Bill!
I assume the motor is a Toyota of some sort?
Actually, it's just yearly maintainence for a Formula Atlantic, Andy.
Yea, a Toyota TRG 4 cyl. twincam. This one's fuel injected. The last one I worked on (in my avatar) had 3 Webers.
These motors really need a going over after a season. The 10,300 rpm redline is one of the reasons. The rebuild will run about $8,500.
Also have to magniflux all the trans gear sets (25 sets counting the spares). Can't afford to have the trans blow a gear like last year, one gear set (like first or second,etc) has 2 gears and costs $550.
The high power and high downforce tends to either wearout of break things. The tread on the rear slicks is 16 inches and loads the crap out of things. Very expensive car to run.
Build a new belly pan since it tends to hit the track.
And we have some carbon fiber repairs that need done.
