[QUOTE="TxCobrA98, post: 564431, member: 8384"] [b]Re: Trey "TxCobrA98"'s Forged Internal Rebuild + Vortech[/b] [b]Update[/b] June 14, 2009 - Okay guys, I have a pretty big update today. The motor is almost totally torn down to just the block. I worked all day today to get this thing nearly ready for the machine shop. The only thing left in the block is the crank and main caps, and thats it! So, overall, I am very happy with what I accomplished today and so far this week. I also found out for sure that I spun a few rod bearings when I took the oil pan off and the rod bearings themselves. there is a good amount of shavings in the pan and on the oil tube screen. I am glad I caught this and got it taken apart so quickly before I grinded the bearings down anymore. Anyways, today I got a lot done. Got the water pump off, crank pulley, oil pump, oil filter housing, motor mounts, timing chain cover, timing chains, timing chain guides, chain tensioners, cams, rocker arms, cam cap assemblies, heads, lower intake, knock sensors, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, pistons, rods, and rod bearings. So today was a pretty full day but I am nearly done! just have the crankshaft and main caps left to take out, and the ARP head studs. Enjoy the pictures, ill also put a few captions on some of the pictures this time. 1) at the start of the morning [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild13.jpg[/img] 2) lower intake manifold off, right side [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild14.jpg[/img] 3) left side [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild15.jpg[/img] 4) front [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild16.jpg[/img] 5) water pump and crank pulley removed [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild17.jpg[/img] 6) timing chain cover removed revealing timing chain assembly [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild18.jpg[/img] 7) timing chain assembly removed [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild19.jpg[/img] 8) ran out of shelf room so heres some of the parts from today [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild20.jpg[/img] 9) heres my OTC cam tool kit - must need tool kit when your doing anything with the timing or rebuilding the motor [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild21.jpg[/img] 10) OTC cam position tool installed on the d-slots of the cam and the cam hold down tool holding both cams in place [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild22.jpg[/img] 11) oil pan, oil pump, oil pickup tube removed - revealing the crank and internals [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild23.jpg[/img] 12) mmm forged internals =D [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild24.jpg[/img] 13) forged internals 2 [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild25.jpg[/img] 14) close-up [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild26.jpg[/img] 15) ahhh, shavings. =[ [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild27.jpg[/img] 16) more shavings [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild28.jpg[/img] 17) and even more shavings [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild29.jpg[/img] 18) okay, does anyone know what this O-ring is? it was in the oil pickup tube screen [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild30.jpg[/img] 19) cams, secondary chain tensioners and secondary chain removed [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild31.jpg[/img] 20) right side head [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild32.jpg[/img] 21) heads removed [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild33.jpg[/img] 22) knock sensors removed [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild34.jpg[/img] 23) shot of the piston faces [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild35.jpg[/img] 24) heads [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild36.jpg[/img] 25) heads [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild37.jpg[/img] 26) heads [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild38.jpg[/img] 27) valves [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild39.jpg[/img] 28) cams and rocker arms [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild40.jpg[/img] 29) pistons and rods removed - JE pistons and Eagle H-beams? not sure on the brand of the rods.
