Blown Engine Pulled Kibbles And Bits Inside
VIDEO
I have pulled the old engine and taken it apart. There are plenty of piston bits spread throughout the oil pan which means meticulous parts cleaning and replacement of many parts. It will take a day of preparation on the new engine to get everything ready to go back together. I'm still waiting on some new parts. I also rejected some parts the auto store was trying to sell me. A replacement idler belt bearing made of plastic! that was a no go. They also had a steel pully bearing but upon examination, it was discovered to have a couple flaws in the bearing so I rejected that part too. I tell you, you have to watch things like a hawk these days to insure you get what you want, what you are paying for! OK, bedtime, Big day tomorrow, got to hustle and get this engine and running.
Just for kicks, you can also see how to remove a drive shaft center bearing using an acetylene torch and a hammer.
