    How-To: "Build an Engine" Tutorial.

    It's been a few days since I've updated, but as of yesterday, the car is driving. From start to finish, it took me 6 days 'couple hourd a day to remove, tear down, build the new motor and drop it in and get it running. I'll try to fill in the 'blank' spots (getting it in the car and running)...

    How-To: "Build an Engine" Tutorial.

    Seal the edges of the intake gaskets and lay the manifold into place. Torque the intake bolts to 23lbs. After a few minutes, when the gaskets have relaxed, re-torque them. Now is a good time to install your motor mounts. Also you can install the crank pully. And there it is: Ready...

    How-To: "Build an Engine" Tutorial.

    Now to button up the bottom end, install your oil pump, driveshaft and pan. Make sure the metal "tang-washer" is positioned up, closest to the deck. That way you can remove the distributer without pulling the oil pump driveshaft out of the pump. Install a new gasket and torque the mounting...

    How-To: "Build an Engine" Tutorial.

    You put a flat head screwdriver up to it at a 45* angle and hit the screwdriver untill it makes a dent in both the plug and block. This keeps it from coming out. Put RTV on the edges BEFORE you install the plug.

    Lubericate it on the crank, were it meets the inner portion of the seal, so the surface on which it rotates on. Shouldn't be a problem, but keep a keen eye on it.

    How-To: "Build an Engine" Tutorial.

    So I Picked up my fresh block today. E7TE casting, bored .030" over to fit my pistons. I thought I would do a write up about how to build an engine, since I have a new camera, and since I was going to be building one again I figured why not? So Here's the way I built this motor. First thing...

    Block cracked. Pics. Don't let this happen to you!

    The rust came after the crack. Here's the senario: Everything's fine. After re-torquing the that head bolt I heard an audible "crack" sound. At the same time the bolt gave way a bit (but it's at torque). After driving I noticed a coolent leak drip from the bottom of the oil filter. I traced it...

    Block cracked. Pics. Don't let this happen to you!

    The result of not throughly cleaning the threads with a chaser tap. Make sure you use a 7/16"-14 to clean the block every time you remove the heads! The buildup of rtv will give an inaccurate torque reading, and may strip the threads and/or crack the block like this: Got a new block...

    5.0 Twin Turbo Kit

    I have those heads, they work great. 195cc intake runner, 5angle valve job, dual rate springs, I put ISKY guideplates on and they make some serious power. I did a writeup on it, search for it. They are quality pieces. Don't knock 'em till you try them.
