lil summer project

[elpuma]

Well I had been leaking oil for a while and i finally got to replacing some gaskets. I also worked on putting my b16 intake mani that i got from rendon in. First thing I did was take out my engine to work on it a lil easier.
I took pics a long the way because I know you all love pics lol.

I used Citrol to clean my pistons and combustion chambers. It works really good. Then i polished some parts.

All I'm waiting for now is my cam that i got from rendon and i finish her up. Here's a pic i took with the valve cover so you all can get an idea of what it'll look like once all done.

[elpuma]

gracias messy

[YK86]

Wow, looking good. I like how the polished parts turned out. What did you use?

As for the red block and tranny, it kind of hurt my eyes BUT then noticed it kind of matches your exterior. Have you thought about maybe painting the upper half black to match the exterior 2 tone? Not sure if that would look good but just an idea.

[elpuma]

Thank you yk86. I used a wire wheel on a drill to polish my stuff. No imma just keep the upper half polished. Wish my headers weren't blue so that it could all match well.

[elpuma]

Finally some more parts came in and i got to it.
Needed new motor mount

Broke while we were putting the engine back in. Super glued it back up. If it leaks i'll have to get a new one.

[frantik]

nice hids

[import racer]

Nice work man,how hard is it to hook up the B-series intake .Think about doing it later on when I can afford it.

[lostforawhile]

you have to be the first person here to move an engine with a loader, you need to add a flex pipe after your header downtube, or it's going to continue to crack like that

[obdriver6]

Great progress! What are you gonna do about the sensor?

[gfrg88]

Loving the shaved bay :thumbup:

[elpuma]

import racer: Its not that hard. There is a how to on it.

lostforawhile: I do have a flex pipe. The shop that put it in put it where the cat used to be. I don't know why they did but imma get i fixed.

obdriver6: I'll post a pic of later.

[elpuma]

Well here is a pic of what i did with sensor since there was no room to connect the plug cuz of the fpr in the way.

Today is a very sad day. Today i find out that my car is dying. No longer will you see her redlining around town and blasting music. She is on her death bed awaiting a transplant.

yes but there are plenty of doners!!

[elpuma]

Yea no job and no money at the time though :( plus i in school at Oregon State. I have a knocking sound under acceleration. Rendon said its the bearings so imma leave her parked til i get a used block to put in. Then rebuild the old block.

[gfrg88]

Glad you're not getting rid of her... Just hang on to her, and work on it a little at a time :thumbup:

[import racer]

yeah hang in there man,I've been working on mine for 3 years.With limited funds and no garage so it only gets worked on when the whether is good.

[Rendon LX-i]

if i would of known i would of gaven you the good block i had complete. But o well man. Motors are dime a dozen. See if your rents can get you one and pay em back laters. OR drop the pan and see how bad are the bearings. Thats why i said dont drive it or youll make it worse! gives you the chance to do the repair.

[elpuma]

Yea i'll never get rid of her. I love her too much to do that. My oil pressure gauge had been giving me a lower reading than usual and with the knocking sound i'm sure that its the bearings. Josh my parents pay rent and food for me and my sister so them helping me out with some money for a block wont happen anytime soon. I'll just wait til christmas time.

[elpuma]

Damn, wish i had money for this
