Spare M42 refresh/rebuild

Nice, although I don't see a water pipe there, hope you don't neglect that failure prone component.

Got home, and a package from FCP euro arrived with all new timing components, gaskets ect.. $735 worth of stuff.

I'm doing all this work at a friend's shop. He has this parts cleaner at his shop that's like a dishwasher for parts. I just threw in the lower oil pan for 10mins to test it out, pan came out pretty clean.

Started to take it apart today..gaskets were aftermarket, so the PO at some point, did upper/lower oil pan gaskets. Also the 6 sump bolts were all tight.

Dang Manny, I was just thinking of starting an M42 rebuild myself! How far are you planning on going, internals & etc?

I'm installing all new timing components, and refresh the head. ARP head studs, MLS HG...then turbo

Picked up a spare M42 yesterday that I will be refreshing with new timing components(late M42 timing case),gaskets, etc. I'm still in search of the timing case however. I ordered all timing "things" from FCP euro, and should arrive tomorrow. All I've done so far, is get it on the engine stand.
