First off, i have not taken Rearly as many pictures as i planned. and i have No idea what i'm doing, so thanks to all of you that have kicked me in the right direction
Now, this is a 95 940T engine. (so i have been told)
I found it online and had it shipped in,
Well the delivery company was suppose to call me prior to dropping it off at the local loading dock. Lucky i had talked to the loading dock folks because i got a call while i was at work saying you have 5 min to get here or your engine is going back on the truck. i call them back 10 min later... the owners son, was kind enough to sign for it.
they Say the engine iad 166K miles on it....
It arived with the intake the injectors turbo ect. but when i was cranking it over by hand it was not easy, so i pulled the plugs. it was still tough... and when i did it make a nasty little Tap like the sound of sheet metal.
curious, i pulled the valve cover off, and then the intake and exause manifolds (Lucky nothing broke)
manifold intake gasket was nasty
After a bit of Dremmel time. it's a Little better.
I made the intakes a wee bit bigger.
then i used some finer pollish crap to kinda clean the heads up a bit.
now looking into the cylinders the two end cylinders had a little rust in them. so they will be going into the machine shop shortly to get bored out the the slightest little bit. not you can still see the original machine marks in the cylinder walls.
< Photos soon >
So. it Should run nice when it's all done, i gotta look cool to right?
Well it wont. but i did pull the down pipe and cat off and polished and paint stripped the THICK road drime off.
I Talked my Wife into helping a little.
we took turns...
This lasted for a couple hours...
...she's so creative...
so... next is the tranny, new clutch all ready to go.
Getting the U Joints out is Not an Easy task,, i pulled the pins and tryed to hammer them threw... i tryed an Air Chizle, hardly a scratch. although cement in the driveway says it's working...
so, after i finaly managed to get the bolts out of the part that plugs into the rear end
then i painfully lowered the tranny down, onto my face.
to get the U joint free i used one of my impact sockets so the sledge would not hit any thing but the u joint caps place every thing on the cement floor and spent about 10 min pretending i was chopping wood.
on a safety note. do not do this in a room with windows, or breakable objects. that socket can realy fly!
so, now i still have the front half of the drive line connect to the tranny Via the rubber boot thing. but the rest of the drive line i wraped in a kitchen towel and put in a small bench vice and used a wire brush and alot of gas as well as a file to take off any burs.
then out with the paint, i painted the cat and the down pipe with high temp paint, although i think the down pipe will burn the paint because the highest temp blue paint i could find was 500F
while all this was going on, my boxes of parts were rolling in, the very last box a "head set" head gasket exaust and valve stem gaskets ECT was the last box to arrive.. and it arrived totaly crushed.
i dident bother to open it, i took it back to UPS and opened it infront of them.
Head gasket any one?
Okay well thats all for todays installment of WTF will happen next!
please tune in later for the latest news
I have been told i will be getting a refund in ~8 days.
Although i did have a misunderstanding with UPS and the same local office fixed it and i'm Very pleased with one of the people that work there.
