Techy's engine pull progress thread
When I'm done with this engine pull and reseal I'm hoping/planning to put together a full How-To complete with all part numbers and lots of pictures.
In the mean time I've got a whole bunch of pictures I figured I could share with you kind folks. So, here are a few pictures of what was done tonight. Some are detail pics that will be in the final writeup.

Re: Techy's engine pull progress thread
I wonder where my biggest oil leak could be coming from. It couldn't possibly be this And finally, here's the cam sprocket that I broke trying to get it off There should be another lip on the side closest to the camera

Re: Techy's engine pull progress thread
Nice set of pics. The first time pulling the engine we missed disconnecting one of the solid power steering hoses and bent it lifting the engine out.

Re: Techy's engine pull progress thread
Some more pictures. I just finished cleaning up the super-mess we created when we were pulling the motor, and then all my tools that had been thrown into one bag for a trip to U Pull R Parts. It turns out that they got a 92 SVX in about a month ago, but it was almost complete. Probably because it's been so darn cold up here until today.
It was a huge mud pit, and I ended up using the door cards as a step stool to stay above the 3" of water that was right in front of the car. Anyway, here are the pictures. First is a picture of my spoils Here's what a bit of elbow grease and a lot of noxious chemicals can do Engine mounted on the stand And here are pictures of my old motor mounts. They were completely separated, and came off the car like this:

Re: Techy's engine pull progress thread
good documentation, the toughest part imo is the ps lines on the crossmember.

Re: Techy's engine pull progress thread
Well, two steps forward, one step back.
It seems that I broke my second thing. The mass of EGR stuff on the back of the EG33 was rusted to hell and I managed to not only shear of 4 frozen bolts, but also accidentally break a plastic thing that a hose fits over on one of the valves. So I'm working on a way to rectify this problem. I have a few hoses that will need replacing because they were totally trashed and got cut to remove. I managed to remove one of the heads tonight, and I think I did it without breaking anything more than the EGR stuff. I've got a few questions but will put them in a thread in the technical sub-forum where they belong. Anyway, here are the pictures from today. Motor mount plate before cleaning After cleaning!

Re: Techy's engine pull progress thread
Today was nothing too special.
I slept in today and ran some errands. But I did get some work done. I figured I'd get to cleaning the garage out so I can find tools again That took a couple of hours. Then on to the work First was cleaning out the throttle body. Made a pretty big difference. Second, it was on to pulling the other head. So yeah, here are some pictures. Throttle body prior to cleaning: Now after cleaning

Re: Techy's engine pull progress thread
Here are some pictures of the exposed clinder on this side of the motor. It also looks pretty darn good And the other motor mount before and after cleaning Motor without heads (This is the short block correct?)

Re: Techy's engine pull progress thread
It's always amazing to see just how good things can look with 17 years of grime cleaned off. Are you going to take the short block down any further, or just refurbish from here?
