My car has been sitting for too long. It's time to get it back in driving shape.
While assessing the condition of the engine, I found that the head on the driver's side has some issues to address. Here is the hardware that was holding the intake to the head: I know, right? We have seen this before. Yes, those are threads that came out next to the threaded rod/nut combo on the left. It looks like I have to drop the engine and pull that head. Question: Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in Central Florida to fix the head put the studs back in? |

Of course, we all know what this engine-pulling exercise means. . .
- While it's out, I have to get all that crusty adhesive off the firewall. - And then, there is a bit of rust in the hell-hole (not too bad) that has to be addressed. Oh yea, there is a nice hole in the middle of the battery tray. It's solid, otherwise. - And then there all the FI parts and engine tin that really could use a paint job: Dirty injectors and fuel rails Hell hole Ugh. I remember how therapeutic it used to be when I spent hours in the garage working on this car. Now, hours in the garage is a luxury that I rarely experience. It looks like I need to have a plan of attack. Hopefully, when I drop the engine, I won't find any scary surprises. I already plan to change the fuel lines and vacuum hoses. I would like to have the injectors rebuilt, but that may have to wait. I currently have new points, condenser, spark plugs, fuel filter, rear bearings, Daystar delrin bushings for the rear (fronts installed many moons ago) and a long project list of other parts to buy. Let the wrenching begin! |
