Last week I bought engine GA000099 from Freezing914 in the hopes of picking up some spare parts to support rebuild of the engine that came with my vehicle.
During the teardown of my vehicles engine, it is quickly becoming clear that the engine was abused by some DAPO. Cooling flaps and thermostat had been removed. Rust in the sump. The crank was scored and already 0.010" undersized. The oil pump was torn up. This is just the tip of the iceberg on the engine that came with my vehicle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) 14 hours of driving seems to have netted me an engine that might be worthy of a rebuild. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) This engine appears to be bone stock. D-jet mostly complete. As an added bonus I discovered upon teardown that none of the cooling tin fasteners have ever been disturbed. No screwdriver marks! But . . . like any engine of this age and unknown origin, it absolutely needs to be gone though. |

OK -- so I got the head set up in the mill and was able to get the broken stud out and salvaged the existing threads.
Here is the basic setup.  And here is the final result after a few hours of farting around. Not sure you guys want the gratuitous details on the interim steps. Will post if there is interest.  I feel better now. Two good heads - time to start sourcing new valves, springs, and valve guides. Good weekend so far! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
