Hey check out head resurface on YouTube if you can't find a machine shop. I got the nesscery items and tried it on a old head to see if it would work. Just follow his instructions I thought it was bs but it works and saves 40 bucks. I belive it will cost around 15 bucks for all the nesscery...
Bless your heart dude if you can't get it this way just hit me up and ill walk you threw but it sounds like if you don't at least get the head resurfaced all you just did was for nothing. 420As are very unforgiving if you skip one step on a rebuild.
Now all you need is the cam tool to hold them in place and take those gears off. Make sure your number 1 cylinder is tdc before you do anything else to prevent piston to valve contact. That's interesting how did you get the timing cover off the mm bracket is still in place ? Or you put the mm...
The engine and transmission needs to come out your not going to do a hg job with that engine still in their. Noticed the driver side mm now how are you going to remove the timing cover? And the harmonic balancer will hit the frame if you Jack the pass side. I've been there and done that and i...
Yeah send the pic and let me see what all you removed. Check out my set up... hell I'm out side no garage no power tools either but you can see how I got mines out.
Hey buddy I'm slips96 or shaun what you got? I read your post but not understanding where your having the problem. The bottom sub frame brace should be taking off to get access to the alt, oil sending unit, knock sensor connectors. If you have cruise control unplug the vac lines. If you got...
Thanks buddy the 1st pick is the 420A and the last 2 are the 05 neon sohc short block yeah it been raining all week I'll repost the build and take a video of the initial start up.
96 Mitsubishi eclipse 420A head swap on a base 05 dodge neon 2.0L short block oil pump on the 05 won't work nor the crank shaft position sensor is located in the front of the 05 engine. Will keep an update on this build but its been a challenge.
Well I know this is an old trend but I must let you know we both have the same problem but i went and got a brand new base dodge neon shortblock sohc crate engine n/a and was hoping I to could Frankenstein the 96 420A head to the 05 sohc short block. Well there were some surprises lurking about...
well ive done a leak test this short block is shot. Ive been looking for a month now no one has that 420A engine in my area but a guy has a 05 shortblock fron a neon and i have a 96 420A engine now the water&oil jackets are slightly different but far as all the accessories look like it'll work...
Ok just done one and cylinder 1-2 are leaking. I figured where the guy used that drilmal was a bad idea. Well I'm about to pull this motor out I got a guy with a shortblock from an 05 neon, I've noticed the water and oil jackets are bigger but if I use the 05 headgasket and head bolts I should...
