Ok so I have a 1990 eagle talon tsi awd. It was my first DSM, you can say this car broke my DSM cherry , I bought it back from the kid I sold it to a few years ago I picked it up a few weeks ago. When I sold it to him I sold it as a shell no motor, no trans, no transfer case, no drive shaft, no rear end, and no axles because he had a 90 that he had wrecked and twisted the body apparently. Well...

So when I rebuilt my motor I had to put a crank in it. I bought the crank from the machine shop and it came with acl tri metal bearings, I got 1200 miles on it and it started knocking turned around went home droped the pan and number three was loose pulled the motor. Took her all apart and dropped the crank off at the machine shop along with all four rods to be checked. Time to build thought came...

Got the head all torn apart and off and cleaned up ready for the machinist, getting a 3 angle, bronze valve guides put in and it surfaced, buying a felpro gasket set and arp head studs then buying a good timing belt just dont know which one I want to run yet


Another update already, lol just got back in, I pulled the turbo all the way off, drained the oil, cleaned the head...

Time to pull the head after only 8 miles on the rebuild, I made a few mistakes when I rebuilt. I used eBay parts and didn't get the head surfaced. The valve guide seals started leaking. I didn't have a job at the time so I couldn't afford it but now I do so time to do it right. It's getting a oem head gasket, arp head studs, 3 angle valve job, viton stem steals, my bronze valve guides, and thead...

Well people I have brought back to life another dsm I put in my knock sensor hooked up the battery and pulled the ecu fuse, and turned it over to get her primed till the oil light turned off. Plugged every thing back in, put the ecu fuse back in and she fired right up. Ill get a video soon and more pics.
