DAMN!

What happen?

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #5 on:** October 01, 2014, 01:57:02 PM »

A keeper failed and decided to drop the valve and piston+valve=MAYHEM. So i had some time on Monday to do some work. I moved the battery to the trunk and started doing a small wire tuck. Not a crazy wire tuck, but just cleaning it up a little. You can also see the kinda work bench i got on military housing.

Looks like a cluster fuck. I like it!

Right now, I say it's a work in progress. I will have some time today to finish the wiring, and I'm trying to get the block out tomorrow. Only problem is I don't have a engine stand or engine crane. It's going to be done with man power.

If you have a jack and some tires I've seen people lower the whole car down to where the engine is sitting on the tires, and then a piece of 4x4 wood stuck behind the engine across where your feet would be in the car and shove the jack under the 4x4 you can jack it up high enough to pull the engine out.

Who ever used a host for a civic or teg swap

I have two jacks and have some wood, I think we are just going to do it that way. Also did about an hour of work finishing the battery, all the wires under the passenger side and ran the three to the starter, and fuses. In Washington we have a pully in the rafters and pully it out and in lol.

What u gonna do with the junk head? Need some parts

Sedrostyle · « **Reply #13 on:** October 03, 2014, 12:37:46 AM »

Lol I did this the last one I pulled. Pulled the trans and then lowered the body, lifted the motor out with another guy

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #14 on:** October 03, 2014, 12:52:18 AM »

Well the valve train is still usable. I bought more to replace the ones that went bad. So it's going to be mostly a bare head when I'm done with it

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #15 on:** October 03, 2014, 05:32:45 AM »

worked on it for about a hour last night. Tonight i start the head work.

jdmhatchracer94 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 03, 2014, 10:25:25 AM »

I just need the end caps on the exhaust can

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #17 on:** October 03, 2014, 11:24:00 AM »

Sorry, I'm using them, I have rocker arms and stuff I can give out. Also did the port matching today.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #18 on:** October 03, 2014, 12:55:34 PM »

Dude, i would shit can your abs stuff. It will open your engine bay up so much. You could get rid of a lot it wires with it out. Just my .02 otherwise it looks good.

German/EU regs probably will not allow him to if he want drive on the streets.

Not really going show car crazy, but i thought about tossing the ABS shit. I had sometime today while the wife went out with some friends for dinner. I ported the exhaust, and took apart both heads. Now i will take it and clean it at the on post skill center tomorrow.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #21 on:** October 04, 2014, 08:39:00 AM »

Took some more stuff apart today and i saw some damage to my sleeves. I guess im going to get it bored over by .5 or maybe 1. we will see what the cost is here in Germany to do that.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2014, 03:09:30 PM »

I found a guy who can bore my block to 83mm. Its going to cost 235 euro. I should have the block out of the car tomorrow and wll start to tear it down when i get some time. Should be posting up some picture later during the weekend.

Any picture of the damage?

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #24 on:** October 09, 2014, 02:54:02 PM »

I will put some of it up tomorrow. We spent 2 hours getting the motor out today. We lifted the body up and dropped the motor out. I'm cleaning up the engine bay and getting everything organized tomorrow.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #25 on:** October 11, 2014, 06:25:47 AM »

Here is the block damage and i finished the head last night and will start taking apart the block on Monday.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 13, 2014, 09:57:28 AM »

Hard to see the damage of the sleeve, good luck with the rebuild!

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #27 on:** October 13, 2014, 02:22:45 PM »

I took the block apart today and also had a look at the turbo and found a huge handful of metal shavings. I thought my turbo was gone, but thankfully nothing is wrong with it and I will attempt to take better pictures of the damage next time i work on the car.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #28 on:** October 13, 2014, 03:44:49 PM »

You got lucky!

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #29 on:** October 13, 2014, 04:10:13 PM »

I know i got extremely lucky, in the sense that my turbo didn't get messed up as well. The motor did so i guess i will take good news when i can get it.
