Time to Rebuild-We can build it better
 

Throw out bearing only lasted 270,000 miles, other then that she ran perfact, averaged 22mpg and did not use any oil. Very dependable. Ipulled the motor to replace the throw out bearing and decided it was a good time to rebuild everything else. New Zoom clutch/pressure plate. Replaced plastic clutch master and slave with metal. Went 30 over on the motor, head reworked everything new. New alt, 3 core radiator, AC compressor, motor mounts. I have a lot of good used spare parts.

Not finished but getting there
 

almost got the engine bay back together

:yes:That looks SWEEET!!! Great job!

Like the colors. Nice

Looks good, have fun keeping it clean.

Wow, Great work man! That's beautiful!

Which bearing was it? Crankshaft or conrod? Which cylinder?

Not Going to Happen

Actually the engine was fine, it was the throwout bearing. I decided with so many miles I should just pull the motor while I was replacing the clutch and rebuild everything at the same time. I replaced just about everything that could be. I even put in a new heater blower, All new AC except the lines. All new clutch from the master cylinder/Slave on down (Zoom Clutch and pressure plate). Motor rebuilt 30 over, heads rebuilt. Patched and welded the header. All new sensors and modules. Magnaflow Muffler. New alternator, coil etc.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the comment!

That engine bay looks cleaner than a new one! Great Job!!

Man that's a beauty! Pictures of the rest of it?

dont mind me asking. What was the total price on this?

Very pretty, like the colors.

very nice rebuild, love the attention to detail..two thumbs up..

I would say on the High Side about $2500.00 that includes machine work, everything was new, (AC Compressor, Alt etc) not rebuilt so that made it a little more costly, I'll try to list it by item and cost at a latter time.

Forth coming, Will do before and after for the lift.

That Must be a German Shepard trait! Mine loves beer!

Looks like a tough kid, and I see he's already telling you what tools to use!

yeah he is pretty tough he usually does the lip quiver and looks at you like should i cry then starts laughing anytime he gets hurt, and as for tools yes he does i was rebuilding a subaru engine there and swore i was gonna end up with a 1/4 in wrench in the case cause he kept trying to give it to me...the screw driver was his belair beating tool..wasn't happy about that either..lol

no its just a German thing :cheers: :rofl:
