Well it happened but that's part of the game, rebuild time.

 

Back rotor great compression, front rotor is a big fat ZERO! Not sure but I think it was a boost spike. I can't complain, been flogging it for about seven years now.

 

Ah man sorry to hear it, damn cold weather. Let me know if you need parts, I've got a blown shortblock that I could possibly part out the good rotor and housing for you and whatever else you might need

 

Thanks guy I really appreciate that. We plan to finish pulling it out and opening it up next weekend, I will let you know.

 

Gilbert - are you building this one or RP? I'm shocked... i thought you had enough fuel to power the Titanic!

 

Hi Marshall. I 'm not sure but I don't think that it was a fuel issue, injector cycle duty was pretty low. Between me and some friends we are pulling it out and then it's on a pallet to El Paso. A friend here on the forum is rebuilding it. He does great work, you can check out some of it here in his album. His forum name is FDJRX7. After it's back together then to RP to get retuned. RP does great work and I always been very happy with them but right now I can't afford them. Your always welcome to come by and check it out. I can always use a extra pair of young strong hands lol.

 

FDJ? What the guys name? I'm from el paso.

 

Gilbert, since your are referring to Marshall, I have to say, this is the furthest thing from the truth.
He is weak and only eats salads!!!
He has his girlfriend uncap the gas tank to pump gas, because of his weak girly hands can't.
LOLOLOL

 

Actually it's FJDRX7, lol.....

 

Hi, his name is Franciso and he's stationed at Ft. Bliss. We lived in the same neighborhood back in Puerto Rico. Small world isn't it.LOL, Robert your too much. Marshall is a great guy.Yes sir, your right. Thanks.

 

Starting to order parts since it will be a while before it all comes back together. First thing on that LONG list is a Banzai oil pan brace.

 

I 'like' this post.

A little bit of progress, getting there lol.

 

Cleanest engine bay of the year.... ....

 

Dam, have fun

 

Thanks Edgar, I plan to give you a call about the engine hoist.Thanks, I finished ordering the rebuild parts today. Plan is to pull it next weekend and on a pallet on it's way to El Paso by the end of the month.

 

Getting really close, plan to pull the engine this sunday.

 

Parts are coming in, hard parts for the rebuild but got to have the dressup stuff also.

 

Had to get the OMP lines and the FFE trigger sensor bracket for the looks and I hope that the oil pan brace will fix the FD cursed oil pan leak.

 

Oil pan brace is definitely a good inversion. 0 leaks on mine.

 

Even when your doing a rebuild your engine bay is still cleaner than mine.

 

Good deal, I can put that oil leak to rest forever.Thanks Matt, now if I only had 1/3 of the power your has I would be set.

 

I don't have the brace on my engine, that has been to more track events, than all your cars combine together, is still dry under.
The key is using the black stuff sealant, cleaning the pan surface and sanding the matting face rough, making sure the pan surface is straight for a good fit, cleaning the threads on the housings and the bolts (new are better), torquing in a crisscross sequence for a flat fit.
That is what I did, not like a reputable builder, that handed me the Exxon Valdez part deux.
The leak went from the oil can to the pan and to the floor directly.

 

Thanks Robert, I appreciate the input. Between your info and the brace it should stay dry.
