Engine Work

[JoeM]

Any one interested in helping me Pull my engine/trans?

I need to fix a broken Spring/lifter/valve issue

While im at it, headers will go in too....

 

[shays88tc]

when? if its in a heater garage and if you are relatively close to rosemount i might be able to give ya a hand.

 

[Sprebound]

Yeah, whereabouts in St. Paul are you, and when are you looking at doin it?

you sure it's a lifter/valve issue? tony thought his old 3L was a valve problem and it turned up being a spun bearing

i could possibly help. but i like heat in the winter, when i work for free.

I'm not so sure it was a spun bearing as the crankshaft didn't really take a beating. I think it was rod knock due to who knows what. I really should have had the block looked over before I dropped it in (or did it myself at least). I just assumed everything would be alright with a "lower mileage" engine :troutslap:

But hey, I enjoy my spankin' new one more

 

[TRicker]

yeah. i want to build one up with forged goodies so i don't have to worry about it much when i finally give in and buy the turbo kit.

Whoa that's where I grew up... I might be interested in giving you a hand, the experience would be good prior to me pullng mine this spring... When are you looking at doing this?

 

[KyleQ]

Maybe we should all just show up - like a mini meet. Tyler and I already plan on plling my motor out - this looks like good practice to me :laugh:

Hehe - I got my headers in the mail today too :drool: Extreme Ceramic Coated goodness :drool:

Extreme Ceramic Coated goodness :drool:

It's a beautiful thing

 

[TRicker]

i like the "stainless". pretty purple and blue

True... and it's probably more durable than the Xtreme ceramic coating I've got.

 

[TRicker]

yeah. the headers are sweet. but the Y pipe still rusts out on every weld. kinda ugly, but its under the car. all in all, i'm happiest with the aluminized exhast from cat-back.

Thanks to Tyler - I've got a shiny and purple y-pipe that is going to mate with my Ceramic headers :drool: Image the babies :drool:

Any one have a good 3L short block
Car is getting parked TODAY as its DONE...

 

[TRicker]

i thought your car already had a 3L swap from chris? if it does, i would bring it back to him!

we can find you a 3L for 400 easy.

Can you get a long block for that price?....

 

[TRicker]

i paid 350 for my engine complete i could have done the full 3l swap for about 450 after gaskets and fluids. but i did svt cams and stuff so it took more time and a few more gaskets. my engine had 38k on it.

 

[Sprebound]

Where did you get it from? I have been looking around and speculating prices...
