WHOO new europlate came in today they are quick as always.

 

anyone know where i can find engine internals? i want to rebuild me engine. im just looking for piston rings and bearings. well actually i found bearings. i just cant find rings. every search i come up with is for pistons rods and rings. which i don't want. everything else im good with just cant find rings.

engine has 135k miles and though well sense im taking out the trans anyway might as well do a comp/leakdown test see whats up, also check the crank bearings to see how bad they are. send SC to be serviced pop in a new clutch and tranny and the car should be like new again!

Minimania has rings.

 

Damn, that's a lot of work! must cost a fortune. I need to look into sc maintenance soon too. Where are you getting it done?

 

hmmm i looked there guess i didn't look good enough, thanks!

for the SC dont know yet, as for complete head gasket set its 200, im gonna clean the head my self and lap the valves make sure they seal nice and tight.

another 245 for rings. and ( i cant find it now, should have bookmarked it) $20 per bearing for the crank

well the other reason im doing this is, the chassis is in very good condition and i want to keep the car forever lol so thought i might redo the engine too.

 

If you need any help, I'll come help out! I wanna know the internal structure a bit more anyways.

sure, ill let you know when i start. its pretty easy stuff, just tedious work.

anyway got a question does the trans mount look way to loose? the disc like bushing are really loose and flop around but i tried shaking the engine as hard as i could and it would budge.

 

bump

 

Transmission bushings should flop around like you are saying. Wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them though as everything is out.

 

all right cool. i was just gonna through in some Powerflex Gearbox Mount Bushings in there. do i need to replace those floppy discs?(lol)

am also doing FCA & steering rack bushings too

 

The floppy part is part of the bushing. You'll replace it all with the power flex ones

 

ok.... anyway, just ordered the complete engine and gearbox bushing kit, FCA bushings and steering rack bushing. all from WMW thanks guys hope to get it soon! so excited. also ordered a bunch of stuff from German auto parts that i hope willa also be here soon so i can get my car back up and running. i miss my car.

i already have a clutch kit and belt waiting to go in.

 

 

for your viewing pleasure i know its not much.

OH! i will also be installing my SS brake lines that i have had siting on a shelf for ever now.

 

Thx. I love seeing new parts. Its like Christmas everyday then.

 

What brand of clutch is that? Also..don't forget the guide tube.

i think OEM its from minicarparts.net (british atlantic)

 

do i really need to replace the guide tube?

i dont mind paying for the part its just everything just got shipped out and having to order it and pay more shipping is kinda annoying i bet the guys at the store will be like wth. should have just added it to the originnal list but forgot too.

 

If your throwout bearing exploded you probably will as mine was pretty beat up. I would just check the guide tube when you take it apart for scarring. If it's scared replace it, but if not I wouldn't worry about it.

 

well i dont think my TO bearing has exploded can still shift gears and there are no noises. but i will inspect the tube when i open her up

 

My first package arrived! my trany parts should be in soon as well and the bushing could be in today or tomorrow you never know with usps.

 

well looky here what arrived

 

and the rest CV boot, rear crank seal, input shaft seal, fork arm bearing, & PCV (broke mine)
