Over revving issue

If you're gonna be ripping it all apart, you might as well just pull the motor and tranny all at once. It'll be easier in the long run.

They slide in/out very easy as one unit, even on 3KGT's.


If you need to borrow a engine stand or hoist, or need some help let me know. I live pretty close.

I'm not going to re-hone/re-ring the motor. I don't see the point in that.

Update on everything so far:

- Got the head off. Everything on the head appears to be pretty good. Nothing jumped out as being obviouslly bad. My uncle owns an engine/machine shop in Minneapolis, where I will be bringing it for him to check out.

- Headgasket is blown in 3 spots. To all those telling me I was wasting my time removing the head, this is why the head was removed. I suspected head gasket issues for the past few months.

- I mentioned earlier that from under the car the pass axle looked goofy. Well today I got the wheel off and yeah that pass side axle is fubar'd. I didn't look at that close as today I was focusing on the head, not the tranny. Tomorrow I should get a better look at it though. All I can say right now is that I'm definately going to need a new pass side axle.

That's it for now. I'll post up pics once I get them uploaded.

Thanks for the offers everyone. But I'm keeping the block in the car. I have a cherry picker, but no engine stand. And I really don't have that much room in the garage, so the motor is going to stay in the car.

Brian, I don't have your number. You should PM it to me sometime and I can give you a ring if I am in a bind and maybe need a hand!

Carnage pics...

Nice kill on that HG. Any determination as to why it blew?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Did the axle snap off in the tranny? It kinda looks like it in the pic. That might be a bit tough to get out...

[Halon]

No determination as to why it blew, other than I'm thinking I was lifting the head, and those areas are so close together that they probably just made a little path to eachother. Hopefully the new L19's can prevent this.

As fot the axle, yeah that is kinda what it looks like. I didn't spend much time looking at it as I was focused on removing the head. I'll find out more today though. Hoping to have the tranny off tonight.

Nice carnage. Hope it goes back together smoothly!

Sweet, Now I'm not the only one who has broken an axle off in the tranny!

Once you get the diff pin out it will tap out easy with a drass drift punch.
