2020 Yamaha YZF-R6 Base #0905

I've updated my inline-6 cylinder engine swap to reflect a 340 horsepower peak output from the new camshaft.

Swapped out the old block for a rebuilt, forged unit, now running smooth with minimal tweaking required to get her back on the road.

Replaced all four brake pads with high-performance ones, now the stoppers feel more solid and I'm confident for our next track day.

Finally got the engine out, had to get creative with my lift setup to get the big block in there, took a few extra hours than planned.

Updated to 420 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque after re-tuning with new camshaft and intake manifold on my 2015 Mustang GT.

Revised my engine's intake manifold to correct the slight lift mismatch with my camshaft, which improved power output by 7 horsepower.

00

Had to rebuild the engine mounts from scratch, reworked the oil pan location and added some extra bracing for support, all part of getting this beast running smoothly again.

00

I've updated my camshaft to a JE Stage 2 at 276 degrees lift and 0.020 inches duration for improved power gains.

The engine mounts are still waiting on 3M, so I'll wait a day or two before final assembly, can't hurt to double check everything.

Swapped out pistons, rings, and bearings - all the big ticket items are done now, just waiting for the rebuild spec main bearings to ship.

Swapped out the worn-out head gasket and rebuilt the engine from scratch, feeling like a new beast under the hood once again.

Swapped out the old heads for billet units with a fresh coat of machining, feeling like a million bucks now that the compression ratio's back on spec.

Swapped out old engine for a fresh rebuild with a turbo kit, feels like a whole new beast under the hood now.

Wiped out a pesky vacuum leak that was causing a rattle at idle, now she's purring like a kitten on the highway.

Started pulling out old engine components this morning, a lot of dirt and grime came with them. Can't wait to get started on the rebuild process tonight.

00

After weeks of tinkering with bearings, pistons, and timing, she's purring like a kitten and ready for the street again.

Finally got around to replacing the restrictive stock exhaust with a more aggressive setup, can't wait to feel that rumble on startup.

06

Replaced the original 5.0L with a heavily modified 6.2L, now waiting for paint and interior work before final assembly. This engine job was worth every penny of the $10k bill.
