Okay so now that I have a free minute I can finally update this thread. So Igot the motor on my engine stand and started to finally tear it down so I get the parts I need to the machine shop and then begin to spend A LOT of money on this bad boy;D
I sorta got carried away with myself and kept working before I even took any pictures so I already took apart most of the head and the timing chain covers. I'm going to be better about when I build the motor.
Head is off. Easy as one, two, three!
This is good right? Engines really love to be powered by dirt. But this is what I get for buying a car that was already in pieces (no intake manifold and everything else half apart already lol)
Even got the Pistons and Rods out without an issue! They seem to be in pretty decent shape. I'm most likely going to be reusing the connecting rods since from what everyone tells me they are pretty strong and able to hold the amount of power I want to make.
I did figure out why this was the parts car though. When I first opened up the lower chain cover, all these pieces to the chain guide fell out. It is the guide on the right side of the motor, so guess I'm going to buy all new guides now too!
My buddy got blast pipes for the 240 during this time too. yeah they're loud. But since he no longer needs his other exhaust this happened...
FUCK YEAH! Free half of an exhaust! Oh right the car also got branded BARN BUILT LOL! :)
