My 1/2 Bridge port project thread. (lots of pics)
I bought this car KNOWING it was going to need a rebuild.
After modding it alittle, she finaly just would not start because of coolant entering the rotor housings.
When I unbolted part of the exhaust, coolant streamed out.
Here are some pics of the motor getting pulled. I will update this thread as I go along, and I'll post pics of everything.
Engine without IC
Engine getting close to being pulled.
Me working on the engine
Engine finaly outta the car, looks naked.
Me on the left, and one of my best friends who is always a huge help on the right, sadly my woman took a pic of him and not his face.
Motor out of the car ready for me to start to rip everything off.

There's going to be more vids than you'll know what to do with.
My girlfriend loves the FD, loves going fast, and loves it when I race, so basicly, everything is going to be on vid.

Motor pull seemed easy enough although this is only the second time I ever pulled a motor out of an FD, both times with the tranny still attached. This time around it was about maybe 2 or 3 minutes from when we attached the engine hoist to the chain until the motor was out and clear from the car (well, the second time we attached it... there's a whole 'nother story behind that)
the engine hoist is a cheapy from some auto store. when i put it together, the rear support beams (just pieces of flat mild steel) did not fit on, the beams were about 1/2" too short, we figured to just leave them off. ...
This was a bad idea.
about 1" of engine movement, then about five more pumps, justin noticed the hoist was bending where the vertical post bolts to the frame... luckily we were then able to let the slack off the hoist, use the now-ovalized bottom of the hoist to push it backwards, and lo and behold the rear support's bolt holes to line up - project saved.

Heres my girlfriend working on the motor, She took off the intake pipes and the Y pipe all by herself (i had to take a ****)
I think the motor mount might have been broken. lol
Turbos ready to come off
Turbos finaly off
After the turbos came off i notice coolant and oil in the exhaust ports you can see some of the coolant in there.
Thats all there is for tonight, tomorrow hopefully it will be stripped down to the block.

unbolt the AC and PS from the block and zip tie them to the fender rail "leave in the car"...and you can leave the tranny in the car also.
