Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Impact driver w/ a phillips. They are easily found at just about any autoparts store. That is the only way to get the cover screws out

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
He told me that, he mentioned they were cheap at Sears so I went there and the cheapest one they showed me was 250 dollars... I bought a 34 dollar one to just to see if it would work, that would be a negative haha.

Something like this... http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog
Doesn't have to be snap-on but the principle applies and it helps to have a picture Tom |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
I've never seen or heard of one before today. Guess I've just never came across a job for one til now.
Bought one at Advanced and just got the job done. Had a bunch of trouble getting them out, lets call it an "insufficient hammer" problem... Solved with a 15 lbs curling weight Front two pistons are out, I'm about to start on the back two... From the front I'm not seeing how exactly you pull the C clips out of the center two pistons because the front rod is blocking most of the way to it. I picked a hell of a motor for my first rebuild haha. |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
I was explaining to my friend that I was having difficulty with the center two pistons because the sliding part in the front of the tool was too short to reach them... To which he informed me there is actually a different tool for the 6 cylinders and he grabbed the wrong one I'll try again with what I have after work today, I think I was making some progress. 4 pistons out, 2 to go. |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Hooray! I'm SOOOO close to getting this done. Of all the stupid things to hold me up, I made the mistake of sticking my pipes together I've been using for a breaker bar the other day to use to beat my impact driver with and now their stuck and I can't get them apart... So I have nothing to break lose to very few bolts holding the block together now. I'll find something tomorrow to take car of it and be done with my break down! |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Need some help here from the gurus. All the bolts are out, but the block will not separate. I've used my hammer, a rubber hammer, a dead blow hammer, it wont budge. So we tried to wedge it with my breaker bar in the front, nothing. We just tried putting my 700kg jack out of my Toyota between the bottoms of the back of the motor, it actually bent the jack and hasn't cracked in the slightest. How do you separate this thing?

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
There are 18 (I think) Internal main bolts to the block. They heave 12mm 12pt heads on them. There are also many 6pt 12mm bolts on the top of the block. There is a loner 12mm bolt inside the bell houisng and there is a 10mm bolt inside the crankcase. Also make sure you take off the oil pump. At this point it sounds like you are damaging the engine. DO NOT EVER just start using excessive force, take a step back and find out why

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
I pulled 22 bolts total out of the block. I got the 3 in front, the 1 on the bottom, and the 1 on the back, 7 from the top, the rest are all from the water jackets, counting the holes that appears to be 10. I just double checked and I don't see any that I missed, the thing is just good and stuck. Water pump is off.
We've been very careful not to damage anything, the guy on the Nasioc article I've been following is pictured used a huge metal sledge hammer, the ones we tried were rubber and plastic wrapped. Last edited by STeeL25T; 08-14-2009 at 06:01 AM. |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Oops, I meant oil pump not water pump. I have no idea man, this motor has sealant everywhere between it, every single bolt should be out, but I've had two people give this a try and only the front part is showing the slightest indication that its starting to separate.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
You got the bolt(s) inside the bellhousing right?? Also the two on the 1,3,5 side of the engine outside of the coolant jackets on the back end of the motor?
