I have one of these sitting in the shop at workout of an 04 Sonata, and it looks very similar to my 4g63. How similar are these engines? Can I use the shortblock with everything else from my Eclipse? ( head, manifolds, turbo???

I've been looking for a walkthrough for replacing Thrust Bearings, but I still havent found it yet. Anybody know of one online? Or can someone give me the gist of what I'm doing. Yes I've searched here DSMTalk, and Google. Preferably with pictures

Head is ordered!!!!!

I can give you a hand on the weekends.

+2 rings

That's the hood I've been looking for!!!!

You lined up the crank right, but I think you advanced the cam 1 deg when you were reassembling.

I was putting that in there to check for bent/broken valves.

I'm gonna assume that the Timing Belt broke, bent a few valves, and possibly broke a few valves. BEFORE you buy this car. Get a 3/4 ratchet & extension and try to spin the crank If it spins 360 the belt did not break and the valves are fine. If it spins most of the way and just stops you have...

Remember you get what you pay for. And when it comes to engine internals it's best not to cheap out. (I'm a huge cheapskate but I know where to spend. )

Possibly the belt is slipping, if not start checking your connections. ( Alt, Grounds, Battery Cables, etc )

Put the catback on.

Drive it easy and then top it off with the good stuff. An oil change wouldent be a bad idea either.

Ignition switched = Power when the ignition is on like a switch probably to switch the color of the gauge. Battery = Constant power even when the car is off probably a memory setting if applicable.

Air in the fuel line isnt really a concern, I'd be more worried about other crap. Disconnect the fuel filter feed line to the fuel rail, and turn the ignition on. This will flush the line.:thumb:

I'm pretty sure that they are the same pan inside and out. But 6 bolt and 7 bolt pans are different. ( I'm 95% sure about that )

Theres plenty of love for the GVR4. I still get weak in the knees when I see the white one in my town.

You got my attention, not that I want to do it but I want to see it work.

What he is saying is ( as I take it ) Get the air & general shit out of the fuel lines and filter so you don't risk running lean or starving the engine of fuel in the first few minutes of running.

They look to ba a damn good match. After I get my GST running I'll have to find at least a boost gauge .in that style because the AutoMeter the PO put in the space for the cigarette lighter just dosent cut it for me.

Ive seen these kits in VW' before. Can you say "Ill fitting junk that will de-laminate with the quickness"?

I want one but its def. not in the budget. BTW does any company make a stock style wing in CF?

Any stored DTC's?

IMHO It sounds like a pretty OK deal. BUT!!!!! Find out as much as possible from the PO, I'm talking like every mod where it was bought from, why is it being sold? And so on. But def do a pre-purchase inspection.

Keep making it happen, and I agree with you about restoring instead of recycling them

Those are security bolts, the heads break off after they are tightened. Get the drill out and line it up straight, or you will be buying a whole housing. And resize that pic.

What gauges are those?

Found it (head) http://www.dsmtuners.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=63949&cat=7 And Gaskets http://http://www.dsmtuners.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=63545&cat=7

I'm gonna have it shipped, Ill find the link

Nice ride you got there:thumb: I want those wheels

I found one on here in the classifieds, but its in Mass.:( So I can make the drive or pay shipping.

Splice the wire you cut through back together, and make sure its making good contact, if nothing start checking fuses and relays.

What kind of pics do you want to see? The car, the damage, Me flat broke, drunk, and throwing tools?:D I'll see what I can come up with tonight.

You may ahve cracked either the block or the head. Sorry to say but time for a teardown.

Found a head just gotta get $$$$$. If all goes well I should have it driving in about a week!!!

Just make sure you keep turning left, all the time. ROFL But seriously, the cancelling cam inside the column prob broke.

It should just slide off, jusl like the crankshaft blade.

When you make a triple, I'll take one:thumb:

Have fun with the sanding block.

I like the quad pod but if you do make them please make a triple version also.

When I find a head I'll be doing all the work. I gotta say these engines seem really easy to work on.

You wont even need the book. 1 Jack the car up 2 Remove Drivers front wheel 3 Remove belts 4 Remove the 4 12mm bolts leave the large center bolt in place 5 Pull the pulley off ( you mat need to gently caress it with a small hammer) 6 Installation is the reverse of the above 5 steps:thumb:

How did the stems end up in in the coolant passage?

I really like the way this sounds. How many of you guys are trying custom paint / schemes in Forza 2? I did mine last night.

Surprisingly the cylinder walls are in good shape, the valves were just barely stuck in the piston.Anybody got a usable head???? For a reasonable price

I pulled the head today.... 6 really bent exhaust valves and 2 broken exhaust valves. I'm pretty sure the head is toast but the block is good though.

I'll keep that in my mind

Not yet. If I need to I'll probably stick with a 7 bolt just because I won't have to change anything.I'm thinking the same thing, so the head will be coming off tomorrow. Thanks for the fast replies.

*****PROBLEM FOUND***** 8 bent exhaust valves and 2 broken onesI started tearing my motor down expecting a broken balance belt and a seized oil pump. But the balance shafts have been eliminated, and the oil pump spins freely. The engine spins fine but it will only turn about 90 % of the way...

Did it work? Or is the problem still there?
