K24 AE86 Dream Build! Final Engine Assembly!

Since i hadnt seen anyone say it I will, when you spray on the wrinkle paint apply a little heat to it and itll wrinkle up real good.

Love the gold valve cover, it fits the car perfectly. when preparing for paint, acetone+rag to wipe it down, tack cloth, then self etching primer before paint. (it helps a ton with paint adhesion and giving a uniform color surface to layer on). Crazy the air compressor hose ruptured, i've never seen that before!! Don't forget that safety shield on the grinder so you can keep building toys for years to come :)

How you fix your pilot bearing problem

[@glennperreira9772]

I got that same bell housing go to Maguire bearing and get a real pilot bearing

[@JDWard-Jeepster]

Being you sucessfully made a K24 to W58 adapter plate are there any plans to have the plate digitized so other builders can buy a blueprint from you to make their own adapters? There is a lot of talk that the company in New Zealand that made your bellhousing is no longer in business, besides they are kind of expensive from what I can find out. I live in the Philippines a country that rapes you on customs and DTI charges. If I could buy a blueprint I could have a local machine shop build me one. Another consideration is W55, W56, W57, W58 and W59 gear boxes are pretty scarce. Has anyone thought to make an adapter for a W50 Iron Case? These are for all purposes just as strong just 10 kilos heavier.

Awesome work as always Sam!! It was funny as hell watching you clip your sister's nails with a pair of wire cutters!! Awesome content, white and gold is a great color combo. You could have prevented cutting the hood with the purchase of the JSP hood spacers, but overall awesome job!!

[@samsgarage2111]

Haha that's usually my downfall, i dont look into the price of oem stuff so i usually cut up things i shouldn't 😅

[@charmonsterteampeters-hugg7483]

How did you contact the people for the bellhousing . I'm interested in getting one. Is there a number

[@samsgarage2111]

You're best friend will be emailing them [e-mail]

[@mrmanny]

Valve cover looks 🔥 Now that you took care of the clearance issue, you might want to hit it with a coat of clear...to protect the finish. Love the Content 😎

[@eresuplays]

hey i have a 1gfe with w57 trans can i ask where u got the adapter?

[@willhelterbrand3785]

The gold valve cover fits so well, this car is sick

[@dannylovestoskate]

Just found your page this is awesome!!! By chance would you be willing to sell the adapter plate looking to do the same thing so I can stock drive train on is300 thank you!!

[@dannylovestoskate]

Use* lol

[@samsgarage2111]

I actually want to keep it for wall art 😅 but i can cut out a thin metal template if that's something you are interested in. The only thing is it probably wont be 100% accurate after so many transfers?

[@dannylovestoskate]

@@samsgarage2111 Yeahh I’m super interested how much for the adapter plate template not sure how to send a dm on here lol are you on insta?

[@kseries20-24only]

Soooo awesome excited to see how it turns out 👌

[@Andrew-dw8vw]

Where did you find the bell housing? I’ve been looking for one. Started to make an adapter plate off your plans because I couldn’t find one

[@samsgarage2111]

They're called mcgregor motorsports. Its best through email, [e-mail]

[@Trumpetmac]

Cool setup, how much gorgeous bellhousing?

[@summerknightsracing]

Hey, question about an older video about the bellhousing adapter. But how did you sort out the flywheel and clutch to fit everything from kseries to w58? I'm doing a similar swap to my starion and would appreciate any pointers. Also, the 86 looks sick, Keep up the great progress!

[@samsgarage2111]

Hey man Thankyou, well after making the adapter plate. You need the k flywheel and clutch cover but the actual disc that spins inside and everything else needs to be for the w58

[@summerknightsracing]

@Sam's Garage gotcha, so the k flywheel and pressure plate, but with a w58 clutch. I also saw that you got the pilot bearing spacer, but how'd you space out the flywheel and clutch so you had full engagement of the input shaft?

[@SantosAlvarez-r1e]

[@rob.performance7381]
