To answer my question above. My engine is on a stand, had crank pully still on. What I did was loosen the 27mm bolt a little, but not all the way..... Then loosened the little bolts 10mm all the way off and put them in a jar. Then used a gear puller I purchased for $30 CAD at canadian tire. I then a...

thank you for reminding me with this thread

I'm going to fabricate something to stick on this block before I start throwing stuff back on. Engine tow hook, painted red

------
what I have been doing so far is using the engine mounts with a clevis

Well here in Canada I checked out two store, one of them Canadian Tire. Looking for something called "engine assembly lube". Nothing by that name. So This is where I spent about a half hour reading the back of every lube bottle in the Isle. I hate how nobody that works at these places here...

I wish the nerds that understood this stuff would talk about it more. Seems like when they do figure out the problem, they never post out what they did for the build, and the numbers they imput.

^link?

its gutless? done a simple compression check lately? ...this might seem out of left field.

Searched, found this thread.

I have my engine on a stand. Right now I do not have the proper size socket to losen it. But what I'm not understanding is the exact steps here. I'm getting conflicting information as to what I would do in my situation.

aka, gimme gimmy gimme knowledge

Thanks!

Interesting build. Where are you located now? I'd like to do an 0-ringed setup, but I dont know anywhere in Centeral Alberta that wont charge Oil Patch prices.

Thwarted by the Crank Pully. for General engine brakedown this sucks. For the head, Just by looking at it, I believe all I have to do is remove the timing chain off the cam gear. btw, I own a digital SLR camera, and have taken about 50 pictures of this tear down. Figure I'll do a writeup sometime th...

meh, figured with enough people online there would have been a yes or no answer at least by now. I'm going back out to the garage and start removing more stuff, lol.

I learn by doing. I'll be back on here when I'm putting it back together though

The search engine here is full of a bunch of newbie questions but not as many newbie answers. To remove the head I have to Remove valve cover, Remove spark plugs, Remove front cover, Remove timing chain, Remove cam then remove head studs? in that order more or less? NOTE TO NEWBIES: Make sure when y...

I sense written off car shortly

this is more of a DYI site then letting a shop do it for you kinda place

I have a headache

I'd like to know what people have for Headwork and fuel delivery that had issues with any piston 'blowing', also, what was the boost level, ect. Things happen for different reasons. This seems like an old wives tail.

^has anyone called ARP yet? I was going to order some but am waiting because of this.


Btw, THANK YOU FOR THIS THREAD, SOME BASICS ANSWERED!

Honestly, I'd befriend a welder, or just go to a muffler shop. Its a half hour fix in the hands of someone that does it on a day-to-day basis. Thats just me, I hate working with exhausts, so annoying.

One way to isolate where its coming from is wait till its a dry day, then take a hose, and run it over a specific area of the car first, starting low, and going up. You'll find it.

Well, you shouldn't be able to smell fuel. Check your lines, make sure everything is secure, also you should hear your fuel pump prime (what dude above me said) before you attempt to start it over. Is the starter even trying to turn it over? plug leads going to the correct plugs? Make sure you updat...

Factory Service Manual

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE RINGS/SEALS/and all the other little things installed in the right order

there is tech dvd's out there for SR's... although not the same, they do give you an Idea what to look for.

I am having similar issues, Curious for an answer myself.

so the issue is relocating the battery or cutting holes for the FMIC. With relocation of a battery, just go to an auto-wrecker and get some used wires in good condition, wire cutters ect, and extend the connections from your battery as needed. If you really wanted to get creative, you can use this t...

On my build, and in my opinion, I wouldnt run a blanket on my turbo. I'd rather heat shield and channel airflow around the turbo. I use to be into computers, and over-clocking cpu's, and the easiest way to cool was airflow. BTW, besides wires, I think the only thing you really have to worry about wi...

I am amazed it fit!

i actually considered doing a rat rod/go cart. KInda something wierd.

I thought I had this username on the forum before, I guess I was wrong. I am James Walper, 26, Canadian... and have been reading a bunch on KA and SR performance stuff. I have owned 4 240's in my lifetime, and wish I had a couple of them back. ....now I just own a DE and tranny with nothing to put i...
