so maple got a new motor *pics* =)

is that really metal shavings, or just hard crusty dried up oil? sometimes it looks crusty like that, try wiping it up with your finger and youll be able to tell the difference.

from that pic looks like everything on the tbelt is lined up. make sure that 14mm bolt is tightened, then crank it over by hand (counter clockwise looking at the timing belt/crank pulley) a couple times. then loosen the 14mm and retighten it. makes sure the belt isnt still in its folded shape from the bag at all.

its really metal shavings.. which is scary...

[cp[mike]]

get a picture of the smooth surfaces where the rocker arms meet the cam lobes. wonder what could have left all those shavings...

[Maple50175]

prob, bearings. like wht happned with all my motors im scared. I guess ill find out tommrow. I hope i idnt spent 250ish on parts for the swap when they will all be useless.

[StoobyMcDooby]

Once you get it running, clean up your engine with this:

Its expensive but it works wonders!

it looks like thats a pennzoil motor man,when people use pennzoil and dont do regular oil changes it ends up looking black and nasty like that sometimes with chunks of carbon in it.once you get it going do a good flush on the it to clean some of that out.hope it all works out for you man.its about time for a turnaround.

its 1:42pm and i got a spliting migraine. My head is pounding. I dont think il get this done tonight. I pulled the motor out all ready. also note i have noone to help me which kinda sucks but oh well.

I need to get teh tranny off and swap the shit to my motor ugh looks like the acutall install wont happen till sunday. unless i can get this shit together but my head kills.

Hey, I say just take a break. You don't have to finish it in a week you kno If you do it while you're tired and fatigued you'll be more likely to mess things up.

[wed3k]

i wedged my pry bar between the head and the teeth of the flywheel.

that way i dont need the extra person.
