so this may not be a big deal to many but it is to me. i finally got my engine block split which has been the death of me for the last week or so. all this means is i can now clean it but sometime in the future it will get the make over it deserves. ahhhhh

nutter

i mean......

and

finally

your adventure has just started...

Yay! congrats!

Is that a 1.8? Looks like it spent some time with some water in the case, I bet it was hard to get apart. Rust on the camshaft means the water was deep. Good luck with it. Make it run again, it a thrill you cant replace.

yea, its a 1.8. i am planning on replacing most of everything except for the crankshaft so hopefull i will cure anything that may have been damaged by water

Did you take those pics with an Apple? They aren't coming thru...



Good deal... by the way.

Congrats on your progress!!

Here's a tip...bag and tag all of your nuts, bolts, and misc. small parts while it's still fresh in your mind, cause if you thought it was a bitch taking apart, wait until you go to put it back together and the hardware is AWOL..... (yeah, I saw that pedal cluster sitting there mingling with your engine parts)

You'll be glad you did come reassembly time!

Congrats you kicked it's ass in the first round
If it isn't hard, it isn't worth messing with.

Ditto on the bag and tag everything.
