Looks nice! Also engine paint is fuel and oil resistant. Very important to keeping a nice finish.

 

wow didnt know that.

 

Sweetness. Looks good like that Good work man!

Jon

 

I'm in the process of doing the same. Looks really good man.

 

So, your gonna come do mine right?

 

very clean motor

 

orded up some gaskets for the water pump couple shims clutch aligment tool new polit bearing and seal manifold gasket

can i get away with just a silicone sealer on the oilpan?? or do i need a gasket.

need to get come more black paint and clear paint.

 

sure come pay my rent.

 

im next

 

Wow... that looks a lot smaller all cleaned up!
Guess after you get the one inch thick cake of grease off the engine does shrink a lil!

Nice work!

 

If you can get mine looking like that, then you got your self a deal!

Heres what you got to start with

 

might want to put some muratic acid on this one.

 

got my gaskets and piloet bearing etc.
need to sand up and paint my oil pan water pump/housing and couple other things..

my clutch and pressure plate had rust on them only sand paper i had is 400 will the clutch be fine and not glaze or should i take like a 100 grit to it.

dose anyone thing i can get away with just gasket sealer on the oil pan?

heres my carb i have moded i need to disasemble it and sand all the rust off and give it a clear coat.

 

got the pilot bearing installed what a pain in the *** that was my puller broke the inside of the bearing i ended up using a stone bit and cut the peice of **** out..
clutch and pp is installed



i spent my time this weekend sanding and grinding rust off parts etc and painted them with engine paint and gave a couple of clear coats to help out.

i need advice on how to get the filler tube back in i tryed usin a sledge to pound it in but it just wont hold is there a trick to it?


this isnt like other water housings iv had why is there and extra thingy there maybe this is off a gsl-se?? im just gonna cap it.

 

It's a spacer to even out the water port fit. There should be 2 of them. Was covered recently. You should sand that paint off too where the gasket is gonna go. Good luck.

 

looking good...i gotta scrub my s4 block and trans....kinda keep putting it off though lol.

 

I never use oil pan or front cover gaskets. RTV sealant works fine for me. The water pump housing is from an SE.

 

?? where did this come from??

dont worry i have to new shims and housing gasket.

 

how many engines have you done this to with sucsess??my last motor i just used rtv sealer on the water pump and housing and had no problems either..

just dont want and oil leak and all my cleaning effort does to waste lol..


figured ild do it right this time.


no one know how to fix the fill tube back in..

 

Very nice work you have done there, I will have to start doing the same with my engine

 

help me..

 

Chris, maybe try sanding it around the edge that fits into the motor. Then put a block of wood on it and pound it in with a sledge hammer. It should go in if not, keep sanding. You problably just got some paint on it. Also that thing on the water pump housing could be for a water temp sensor..?
When ya gonna get that back into your car?

 

i pretty sure its not for a temp sender..

i dunno when ill get it going dont get to spend alota time working on the seven maybe 2-3hrs a week

 

ok cabs rebuilt manifolds cleaned up and bolted on with new gaskets.

still cant get the damn filler neck to stick in

 

On the filler neck, take a piece of wood just a bit larger then the filler neck opening at the bottom. Place the filler neck in the iron then put the wood inside the filler neck and give it a wack. This will expand the filer neck. I then put a bead of silicon around the outside of the filler neck where it meets the iron. Do all of this before you put the oilpan back on.
