We Build A Weird 1.6 MX-5 Miata Engine With Forged Rods And Billet Oil Pump

With Dan's head and block back from the machine shop, James sets about putting it back together. The pistons are checked for clearance, each bearing is carefully measured, and everything is reassembled. MaxPeedingRods forged connecting rods replace the originals, and a prototype set of billet oil pump gears are installed for testing.
