Engine

I still have the stock engine in my car, but during the winter of 2001-2002, I took it out, cleaned, and painted it, just to make it look a bit cleaner and nicer. Its a 1.5 litre engine, 4 cylinder, D15B2. Only performance parts it has is an intake, exhaust, and MPFI swap. I have a few pictures of it during the process of cleaning and painting in my basement. Enjoy the pictures.

This is a picture of the engine bay before I started

Here I am inside the engine bay after pulling the engine, we were creative and made our own stand, then used a chain block to pull it out
