well, ive been gettin alot of blow by and i the other day a ring finally gave in... i figured it was gonna happen eventually cus im running like 21 lbs of boost in this cold ass weather! lol... i was just wonderin if anyone knows the proper steps of pullin the engine.. i was tryin to look up a step by step diagram online but i got nothing... im also thinkin about of gettin forged pistons and rods since im already gonna have it apart.. if any one has any advice or suggestions definatly lemme know.. thanks!

 

Here ya go sir, if im not mistaken, i believe its chapters 1-3

hey thanks alot! thats exactly what i needed.. hopefully i can get started on it this weekend.. only bad part is the motor is dropped from the car rather than pulled... kinda makes things a lil more tricky.. haha

 

you can still pull it form the top, just have to seperate the motor and trans while its still in the bay, not very easy to do

 

i pulled mine from the top trans and all................. not really that hard just move slow........ and move the fuse box 2 the side.......

 

hey jit i have a couple of build books. are you pullin the motor at you house or at school? i'll be on the southside on saturday. i can bring one to you if you want.

 

so it is possible to do even with the tranny still on it? i wouldnt hestitate droppin it outta the damn thing its just that i dont have a lift.. about how long did pullin it take you?

ya man im doin it at my house.. i gotta clean out my garage so she has a place to rest for a lil while lol

 

u dont need a lift..all u need is an engine hoist...drop the engine onto some tires or engine stand or whatever u have...and then hoist the car over the engine...

 

not that long.......but i didnt really work at it..........it take longer 2 move all of the wiring out of the way than it did 2 pull the motor.............. lift the pass side slightly higher and it all comes right out ..................

 

ya i guess that would work too.. but there is also a "tray" that the engine sits in which has to come out too and when you drop it the radiator comes out also.. i just dont know if it may be easier just pulling it.. im just hoping this doesnt turnin to a mess.. lol

 

oh it will turn into a mess................thats the fun part.......lol............... when i pulled mine from the top i had everything as far as a\c, alt., intake\supercharger, exhaust mani. off.......... so.......... i almost think raven ss's idea would be easier just because u can take it out with whole....... it would = less time on ur back taking off the small stuff...........imo..........and a hole lot easier 2 put back in.......... beacause u can put it back 2gther before u put it in the car........just my 2 cents

 

hey jit you doin it at your dads office garage or the house? i'll be down there this weekend meeting a guy that is buying my pistons. i'll bring that book to you.
