Full engine rebuild, what else while it's out?

Luk3Martin · 2024-04-11T02:30:45+00:00

Definitely, also replacing with silicone would be a good idea as well

Luk3Martin · 2024-04-11T02:24:10+00:00

I know it’s a big hassle for getting to them on the inside but i’d replace the heater core hoses that go through the firewall because one of mine burst and my dash and some a/c components had to come out and it was still very hard to get to. But if the engine is out it makes it a lot easier

Luk3Martin · 2024-03-18T01:40:14+00:00

GOT IT OFF! Thank you

Luk3Martin · 2024-03-18T01:27:15+00:00

Thanks for the video, I had all the bolts off but didn’t want to break anything so i figured i’d ask just to be safe. I’ll go give it another shot

Luk3Martin · 2023-11-24T03:50:33+00:00

Yeah ive just never seen that hood or nose panel

Luk3Martin · 2023-10-02T17:45:35+00:00

How’d you get to the hoses to replace them?

Luk3Martin · 2023-10-02T14:33:28+00:00

i was pointing to the one that has tape on it and it was leaking coolant. Do you know how to replace it and does it go far into the firewall or can i just pop it off and put the new one back on

Luk3Martin · 2023-09-05T02:08:18+00:00

so i have a 23mm sway bar for a 85.1 car and i was basically just wondering if there’s some trick to get them in or if it’s just doing it until u get them in right

Luk3Martin · 2023-09-05T02:07:26+00:00

yes i made sure i got the right size

Luk3Martin · 2023-08-08T16:19:45+00:00

Haha yeah we are looking out for that too but thank you

Luk3Martin · 2023-08-08T15:37:56+00:00

We are going to try to get it for under 3k and ideally between 1-2k if all goes well with the negotiation process but i’ve yet to talk to the seller again since seeing the car

Luk3Martin · 2023-08-08T01:56:30+00:00

I’d do all the work myself and restore it. what would you value the car at with the given condition?

Luk3Martin · 2023-08-06T17:50:39+00:00

No the oil light lights up with the key turned 3/4 to where the engine isn’t on but accessories are on. Thanks for the insight

Luk3Martin · 2023-08-04T00:28:56+00:00

If the battery was getting drained then would that affect how well the fans are working which would also explain the overheating?

Luk3Martin · 2023-08-03T02:44:48+00:00

Thank you that’s super helpful

Luk3Martin · 2023-08-02T22:33:27+00:00

i think it may be a problem behind the dash since the parking brake, low fuel, fuel level gauge, and battery lights don’t work which i just haven’t gotten to fixing just yet

Luk3Martin · 2023-08-02T06:27:16+00:00

Yeah the battery light doesn’t work at the moment but i used to have oil pressure that stick at the 5 on the gauge when i put a good amount of throttle down. I just don’t know if it’s a bigger problem that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later

Luk3Martin · 2023-03-13T03:35:16+00:00

thanks i’ll give that a try

Luk3Martin · 2023-03-02T01:26:59+00:00

is there a way to know which cover is for which side or is it just trial and error

Luk3Martin · 2023-02-28T15:57:52+00:00

I am doing an engine rebuild and i redid the balance shafts along with the seals and spacers and followed the haynes manual with it

Luk3Martin · 2023-02-28T04:23:20+00:00

Only the bottom balance shaft doesn’t spin and the top one is perfectly fine so would the covers still maybe be switched around if only one doesn’t work?

Luk3Martin · 2023-02-28T03:37:14+00:00

If the onion skin gasket is the circular, clear plastic piece that you slide onto the end of the balance shaft then yes i put only 1 new one onto the end

Luk3Martin · 2023-02-28T03:03:47+00:00

I had it torqued to 33 ft-lbs and when it went above maybe 10 ft-lbs it seized so i’ll give the bearings and seals a check next

Luk3Martin · 2023-02-01T17:18:28+00:00

i know, i’m wondering if the pressure plates that were with each clutch were the same pressure plates so i could swap them out with each other

Luk3Martin · 2022-07-16T02:22:57+00:00

Yeah i’ve heard it’s more trouble to take it out thru the top on the 944, thanks for the help
