Default My engine build
I picked up this car in December-ish 06'. Had about 2.5k miles on the rebuild by the previous owner. It was rebuilt by a builder in southern CA. Not long after owning the car, I started having cooling system issues. After I drove the car for a few thousand miles the issues kept getting worse. At this point I am certain of the cooling seals failing and start making plans to rebuild this motor myself. So I sucked it up and jumped into the open heart surgery.

To prepare, I watched Bruce Turrentine's videos on motor R&R and 13b overhaul. It was just a resource to get familiar with the job though, I pretty much just learned everything as I went.


Started with everything late on a friday night. Drained coolant and oil. Disconnecting everything connecting the engine to the car. Pulled the engine harness connectors through the firewall, disconnected the connectors on the drivers side harness, and tranny. Undid the 6 pressure plate screws through tranny inspection hole. Disconnected oil cooler lines.



Bought an engine hoist from Kragen, pulled the engine out.
