i have got my engine out now and is it worth replacing them before i put a new engine. and is there anything else i should do before i put then next engine in
engine mounts would be good! Check the ower steering pump? check the C.A.S (on the new engine) replacing what sorry? lol do you mean, "my engine out now, so, what is worth replacing before i put the new engine in"
i have got a reconditioned power steering pump all ready i will make sure i will remove the C.A.S off the old motor to
all depends on what you want to do and what it needs doing. good idea is to do the sump gasket and rear main seal. possibly welsh plugs, that way these are coverd and the engine wont need to come out again if they start leaking
pull your sump off and clean out the pick up and all the other sludge in there, i can bet you the mesh screen is full of crap i think its one of the big causes of the bearing shells failing , but yeh i'd be doing welch plugs they are only really cheap and the rear main might be a good idea if you feel confident in doing it
+1 for de sludging the sump, welsh plugs and a rear main. I've done them in the car. Far better to do it when its out, and cheaper.
The only motor I can find is a serias 2 but it comes with the computer and wires so should I have any major problems putting it in
use your loom and computer and it should bolt straight in i know where another motor is... :whistling
Yer I would have got yours but it was like a 4 to 5 hrs drive to get it any this one I got was only 1hr away and had 170,000 ks on it
Engine mounts. Rear main seal. clean sump out. welsh plugs. Give the whole eninge bay a degrease/clean touch up any paint chips. is it manual? check the clutch flywheel go over the whole engine with a fine tooth come see if any earths are not connected wires are stripped, any stripped bolt heads? especially if they are in hard to reach places once the motor is in place. check fuse box make sure no corroded wires/fuses. all the engine bolt ons are bolted up properly. the water pump, aircon. paint the pulleys to make it look new again as well as rocker covers.
update Doneut A newer water pump on Rocket Cover gaskets Replaced Inlet manifold with a cleaned out one decreased the engine bay Yet to do : servo the auto clean out and replace sump gaskets replace exhaust gaskets thermostat housing gaskets problems yet to fix: Striped thread on one of the fly wheel bolts : rounded bolt on distributor
Dynotune it, once you have got it running. They will find any bugs??? The money well spent once they MAP the ECU...
start your own thread mate.. and no it cant be done.. well not unless you want to chop out the whole floor pan.
