Have you ever sent your manifolds out to be flow tested?

No but I would love to one of these times. I should buy one for myself and do it for that reason

[Spaz]

started disassembling my engine. Removed intake manifold


Got timing tensioner set


number one thing to remember is label everything!! I use lots of ziploc bags!


box full of bags labeled for every nut and bolt


removed all the front pieces (starter, water pump, alternator etc.)


laid out parts on table


double nutted the water housing bolts off


pried off timing cover

[Spaz]

now time for the head


removed all the bolts holding cam caps


removed cam caps and cams (kept them in order)


ziptied all the rockers




removed it




loosed all of the head bolts next


pulled the head off



Found this little guy... not sure what it is.?!


was found here..



pistons look decent




cylinders look good.. tops are dirty which is to be expected

[Spaz]

ok little update.

Put the car in the air... and went to town


Pulled off turbo and found what I expected...


oil everywhere between head and manifold



Subframe and trans were next


switched valve covers to protect my painted one


Anyone elses wives help pull engines?!



this oil pool always drove me nuts. Looks like just the sensor in the end...



Anyone know what this white shit is?!
I believe it's from the E85

that little thing is a water/coolant diverter.

So I'm looking to go around 10.5:1 compression what are your guys thoughts?

That's a good ratio. A lot of ppl are running that or 11:1

10.5 sounds good. Minimal difference between that and 11. What plugs will you be running?

Just want to say that it's awesome you're so organized with your tear down. Takes experience to get that stuff down!

Dude, SO organized. I need to do this on my next build.
