Zapanater Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Removed Valve covers Off with the camshafts Off with the heads. The gasket look a little dicey, but I don't think it failed just yet. I'll replace it anyhow obviously. And here's the issue.Oil pooling in cylinder number 3. No surprise. It is seeping around the piston, had a pretty good pool in there after a little while. It's really easy to tell where it went wrong. The front bank looks good. The middle cylinder just looks a tad funny because of the lighting. This thing probably weighs about 150 lbs after all this has been removed. It's amazingly lightweight. No extra stuff at all. ] My collection spot. Next step is to split the block in half (Yes it is two pieces bolted together top and bottom style. Japanese engineers are crazy like that) Anyhow thats all there is. Not much but something to chew on for all y'all. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.

Zapanater Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 even if I had those tools I probably wouldn't know where to start lol. that heat is rough man, here in Erie, PA it hasn't been too bad lately Lucky! And check out the next section haha. It's actually not that bad. If you had a Hanes manual you'd do fine. This is my first time actually disassembling past the camshafts, so I'm learning too. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.

Zapanater Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Took apart the crankcase today. It actually splits in two. This is Porsche's input on the engine, something we Probe guys like to tout around. It is very convenient, I'll say that. Here's the three pieces together Two pieces. Last piece. A good look at the crankcase. Aaaaaand Here's the Problem! 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapanater Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well, most people don't seem to be interested in this sort of thing, but I'll post anyhow.... The junk engine I picked up yesterday. My buddy wanted to learn about engines (he want to be a mechanic he decided like a month ago) so he's gonna help me out on this thing. I give him pointers and explain how everything works, and he helps me out. Pretty sweet deal. He helped me pull it from the car yesterday, took a good 4 hours, even with the owner of the car helping us as well. These cars are a PITA. START TIME: 2:00 pm central. Full engine all together. #2 is all bent up. I get five good rods, i'm a happy guy. Everything from this engine END TIME: 6:15 pm central. Beat that. Rebuild starts as soon as my new gaskets get in. Probably Wednesday. All I needed was one single rod. I'm going to sell the heads and whatnot. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm in for the motor build! My audio build turned into a motor build for a while too.

I want to watch this build, but I like the audio part more because I know what is going on rebuild??? any teasers? haha nope nothing to do with a camshaft. A connecting rod is bent. Attaches the piston to the crankshaft in laymans terms. Sorry about all the mechanical stuff, trust me I'd rather be doing that too. I enjoy this too though. I'm in for the motor build!

Glad you're interested in the guts of the operation, it's more critical than people think. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.

Zapanater Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Got my gaskets today, so the rebuild begins tomorrow. I'm gonna have to rig a piston ring compressor somehow, but other than that it isn't tooo bad from here on out. It's just finicky because every single bolt needs to be torqued a certain amount, and in a certain order. Pics will be on the way tomorrow if I get enough worthwhile. 2015 Subaru Outback.

bassface Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Are you going to machine the cylinders and heads or just slap it all back together with just new rings and valves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like WOAH when I saw that your block comes apart. That is definitely a different creature. Any word on what caused the piston rod bend? 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.
