I just wanted to keep a thread for pics of engine work I've done to my Accord & other cars. Maybe some of you gear heads would like to see. I'll post some more pics as time goes on. Please don't whore up this thread post whores.
Here is my 88 Accord A20A1 rebuilt.
This is my 87 Nissan truck engine rebuilt.
This is a 2001 Dodge Intrepid 2.7 liter engine. The timing chain had to be replaced in it.
This is a 99 Hyundai Sonata with a 2.5 liter. Water pump & timing belt replaced.

nice work man, ur A20 looks like u can eat off of it!
question for you on the nap-z. i have a KA24 in my HB, and i was wondering if there was anything else i should do while i'm doing my timing chain. i've been thinking about a cam and a "while it's apart" headgasket job. is there anything else that you'd attack while you were in there? oil pump? water pump? muffler bearings? just looking for a mild increase in power with a cam while i'm in there doing my timing chain.
Great looking work Bro.
My oil pump was up under the oil pan, might as well replace it along with the water pump. As for as an increase with a cam. I'm not so sure what performance mods there are for it than a little port & polish on the head maybe.Originally Posted by Vanilla Sky
EDIT- This is a rebuilt carburator I done a while back.

i wanna be like you when i grow up
Man it looks like you got bit. You start working on one car, then pretty soon you're working on everybodies cars. Its fun stuff and amazing how similar all the basic parts are, then how different some things can be. In the end, it all is just there to turn an output shaft.
Yeah 2ndGenGuy, I work as a technician.
Here is a Ford Focus ZX3 that needs some head work on. This is mad JDM 2.0 ZTAK yO!
Intake removed...
Valve cover removed with head exposed..
Cylinder head removed...
.
Ah well that would explain why you work on so many cars!
Now does that ZX3 head not have rockers? It looks like those cam lobes push directly on the valves. My friends old 8-valve Rabbit GTI is like that, I never knew that they did that in a DOHC configuration too.
is that ford engine similar in any way to the mazda FS series engine (2.0 litre, used in the 626, MX6, and probe)?
CLEAN MOTOR!
Nice work!
2004-2011?
The head has camshaft followers that the cam rides on to push down on the valves. Pretty much reduces friction.
I'm not sure on the whether it is similar to Mazda 626 or Probe. I haven't done much work on either cars.
Anyhow, what appeared to be a head issue ended up being a couple crack pistons. #1 & #3 are broke between the ring lands.
This is a steering rack I pulled out real quick out of a 2001 Impala.

Transmission yanked out of a Mercury Villager. Waiting on a used motor for the Focus ZX3.
.
sweet!
This thread is not for replies, OK!!
Here is what is left of the motor from being pulled. It is cheaper to get a used motor for $290 than to rebuild it for about $500-$600.
Here is the used engine we got for $290...

ford has always made me laugh cuz they call it the ZeTec... its a total nock off the ve-tec engines name...
NICE ENGINE BY THE WAY!
Just finished today, minus a few small things to put on.
.
sweet!!!
Final pic of engine swap.
Valve cover gasket change on 3.8 liter..

Here is a Dodge Intrepid 2.7 engine pull. These cars suck with engine problems, such as timing chains, engine sludge. I've allready got another 2.7 rebuilt, cause we have about 12 Intrepids to keep up with. CHRYSLER= POS. EDIT- This motor had to be pulled cause it was beyond fixing without a rebuild, it knocked & smoked like a freight train.
2.7 ready to pull.
2.7 POS engine after pulled.
Dodge Intrepid engine bay after pull.

You know your shit! Now I know who to go to for advice when I rebuild my engine this spring.
Did a little side job this weekend & it wasn't easy.
I changed out the oil pan gasket, timing chain w/ gears & water pump in a 93 Chevy truck 4x4 with a 350 small block. (5.7 liter)
