Daihatsu Sirion K3VE2 Engine

The next steps I had to do, was to made some space at the cylinder head, because the pistons I bought are made for 12.5:1 compression so they run more in the combustion chamber. It was not a lot of work so it was done very fast.



One thing I didnt know from the K3VE2 engine was, that the pistons are not fixed with an retaining ring, so it was not that easy to get the piston pin in. I borrowed the right tool for that and then it was very easy (Picture from the tool below, You press the piston pin with a hydraulic press in the piston).

Because I will run the engine with a MegaSquirt ECU I needed to build a harness and that took a lot of time. And In that case I deleted every electric wire which I didnt need. So after that I had a lot of electric wire out oft he car (around 10kg). Now I only got the important things in the harness.
If you got question feel free to ask and if you know someone who did this to an K3VE2 Engine too please tell me im very interested in that.
