Goodhart's budget beater 1g

Motor mounts look awesome!

I had some days off this week and finally went and picked up my brothers' engine hoist. When I got it back I got it on the stand and started tearing shit apart.

Prepare for carnage!!






Getting the engine from hoist to stand. Didn't really plan this pic at all, and didn't notice till I got some funny faceboook comments. haha 4g63 Allis!

Got the intake manifold off and found this...Where is the rest of the valve? You can just faintly see the cracked valve guide as well. Phone didn't want to focus very well down the runner like that.

Got the junk ass crank pulley and water pump pulley off along with the timing cover. The water pump bolts were just a tiny bit more than finger tight. I'm not sure that has anything to do with the failure though. The timing belt was loose as hell too.

So the head is junk, I figured it would be, so that is not a surprise at all which is why I picked up the 2g head last summer.



On the the pistons.

Nice pile of aluminum shavings there, my guess is that happened when I was turning it over and over while trying to get it running before I discovered the beat up spark plug. What's weird is that the engine didn't make any noises until I cranked it probably 15 times and I stopped and checked the plugs.

That looks awfully familiar! Lol. When mine went it didn't make any noise either. Mine would even fire up and run like crap lol.

So, after the cruise and my trip to TX I'll be in the market for some 2g pistons on 1g rods. Amazingly enough, the cylinder walls looked damn good. No cross hatching obviously as I'm sure this motor has a million miles on it, it's glazed pretty good. But no major scratches! Nothing I could feel with my fingernails anyways. :) I'm sure I'll be able to check it out better once I get it further apart.

Next time I get up there to work on it I plan on flipping the engine and pulling the oil pan to see how beat up the bearings are. I'm not expecting much, hopefully at least the crank and block are usable though, otherwise it might get expensive quick.

LOL at #1 piston, are you planning to do a 2.0 rebuild or 2.3? Whats the plan for this bish?

[goodhart]

Stock 2.0

[turbotalon1g]

I have 3 good looking rods if you are interested. Just throwing it out there

[evotuner]

Stock 2.0

300whp? more?

[turbotalon1g]

600whp

[goodhart]

Lol idk how many hp ill have. Gonna stick stock appearing for now, maybe like an SCM61 for fwd traction lolz some day. No matter what this combo will hold whatever power I ever give it. More power= more problems :)
