EL NENE 7's - "EYE CANDY" --"The Road to 450HP"
Well i started doing my engine in hopes to reach a goal hp number. 450 that is i will update this page often with installs, pics, tips, and products used. I am building this engine on my own with help of GUITARJUNKIE as a guarding angel over my shoulder.
My first goal was to clean these rotors and housing to a point you can eat off them. Then do a nice streetport and modify the rear Iron . Everything in this rebuild is going to be new, GASKET WISE AND SEALS, RINGS ETC...
here are some pics i wish i would of taken pics of the tear down but who cares it the rebuild what we like.

well for the irons, i resurfaced them and cleaned them . Each one took me close to 2 hours to clean
The rotors i used CLP wich is made for military weapons its a cleaner , lubricant and preservative , A little bit of a non-harsh wire brush and time got them looking like new. Then i went over all the surfaces with 1000grit sand paper with clp to clean them.
The reason for the polishing of rotors is so it will be a lot harder to get carbon buildup and to kill time.lololo
theres no significant gains in cleaning your rotors besides knowing you will be a little safe on carbon build up plus it will help with the break in

cool, looks like it will be anice motor, is this your first rebuild? I want to build one for my TII for the ong run but it just had a remanufactured engine from Mazda Installed befor i bought it, i'm still breaking in this motor but looking at those shiny parts makes me wanna learn how to rebuild mine. One thing I figured is that, no doubt when i do rebuild I will use oem mazda apex seals as well. Take care and good luck
