The engine is out and.... oh dear.
Well,
my brother and I have had a fun day removing the engine and gearbox from my hachi. Before he arrived I striped out most of the dashboard apart from the crash pad itself so I can begin removing the rest of the aircon wiring and refridgeration unit. This will also allow me to remove the remote central locking wiring and unit, and almost certainly the electric windows at some point. The dash pannel can now be worked to install the oil temp and water temp gauges. We decided to try and get the gearbox and engine out in one go - and we nearly did apart from we ran out of lift on the engine crane lol. So whilst it was all hanging in mid air we had to remove the gearbox which was fun. So - what did we find. 1. The engine is standard as hell inside. 2. The flywheel looks pretty standard 3. The pistons and rods look standard 4. I am not sure how to determine this for sure but I am pretty certain this is not a 7 rib block, no sign of oil squirters anywhere 5. The cams are completely standard 6. The head appears to have had no work at all. When we removed the sump we found lots of bits of metal on the oil strainer/pickup which is never a good sign. So onto the damage 1. The main bearing closest to the back of the engine is badly destroyed 2. The big end bearing closest to the back of the engine is badly destroyed 3. The conrod closest to the back of the engine has a damaged bearing surface from the bearing failiure 4. The crank is marked from the main bearing failiure and the big end bearing - hopefully this can be reground. 5. cam seats are a little scratched but I'm not sure how serious this is. The bores look in great shape though - and the piston rings seem like they are ok. So based upon all of this we can determine that the previous owner in japan simply banged on the throttle bodies and freedom ecu and ran it standard with external bolt on parts. If it lasted 210,000km thats not too bad I guess. Now we have to decide what we are going to do to recover from this mess. Needless to say it wont be cheap. Regards Ian. |
