Shotgun rebuild

[Iox106]

I went to start up my car today a couple hours after parking it, and earlier today I performed a water treatment test and then flogged it a bit on the way to my destination. It ran just fine and pulled hard as usual, however the last couple days it has been stopping once in a while during cranking. I would crank and it would stop then start spinning again, either on its own or sometimes by me letting up on the key then trying again, but promptly start up after doing so. Now I suspect that it wasn't electrical and the motor was instead catching on something. It is currently stuck hard. I couldn't get it unstuck by a roll start, it just lurched hard and might have even dragged the tires (though I wasn't moving fast). I'd say I hope I can roll it forward in reverse and maybe pop it loose by spinning the motor backwards, but I seriously doubt it would run well if I could even start it, if I can pop it loose.

SO, that brings me to the real purpose of this thread: Ender's Shotgun Rebuild. Fortunately, due to my prudence about the realization that the compression was somewhat low, I have already gathered up ALL the necessary parts (and some unnecessary yet delicious parts like the means to street port, a beefier clutch, and the Rotary Aviation OMP adapter). I am pretty much done practicing my porting and I have begun clearancing tonight. This is my first build, but I have done quite a bit of research and I'm finishing up the Mazdatrix DIY rebuild series. I will, of course, post as many pictures as I can manage, time is especially important on this, and if at all possible I would like to have the motor swapped in by Saturday. I do have the whole week off, so to speak. Wish me luck.
