How did you get the water pip so new looking. What else did you have done to it. Just bored cleaned and balenced.

 

[HOTSHOT100]

I just sand it and paint it .

I did bored cleaned and balenced. Buy new piston, bearing, arp head stud, sand and paint the block

 

[Apeximprt2nr]

Wow, that looks amazing. Awesome job!
What turbo is that sitting in the background?

 

[flacopower]

wow in the before picture your cylinder is so rusted it looks like a kid dropped red paint in there! ouch! did someone not have a spark plug in there for a long time?

 

[danyz250f]

When you put the head on try not to use the studs to press it on. Make real sure the dowel liner upper things are centered in the head. And make sure you push it down square, and its all the way flat on the deck. Just so you dont mess up the dowels or some thing and make it not seal on the head gasket good.


Just a thought.

the turbo is a big 16G Evo3 .

Thanks for your comment

Looks nice. You did a good job on preping the block.

Looks kick ass man, great job cleaning it all up and going the extra steps with painting it and buying a new water pipe.

I also love the wood floor, most people rebuilt engines in their garage though. haha I shouldn’t be talking though I rebuilt my head on the dining room table last month cause my garage isn’t heated. Took some shit for that too ha-ha. good luck with the rest of the build man!

Man that came out nice. Good job on getting a turd to shine.

 

[flacopower]

so how did it get so corroded??

 

[pooker]

Man that looks good.

 

[link16]

That looks great. If I had before pictures like that, the after pictures would look like Hiroshima.

 

[1gcrazy]

A bit off topic but what kind of watercooled computer you got back there? I'm runnin a E6700 with a EVGA 7900GTX in a Lian Li case Air cooled though

 

[dsm4444]

Ya how did it get so coroded? The last time i saw an engine that rusted was one that had been sitting in the junk yard for quite some time. But good job on the rebuild. Looks amazing.

 

[HOTSHOT100]

the guy let the engine outside with no spark plug in the hole .

 

[hybridb18]

thats cute

 

[dsm4444]

ouch.........

 

[flacopower]

would something similar happen if you left the engine outside without a manifold??

 

[IslandTSI]

Possibly, but it shouldn't be nearly as bad as the valves should stop any water from pooling in the cylinder. I'd still want to pull the head though to inspect everything

 

[Dream On]

Damn, great work.

 

[flacopower]

well i was asking because i just removed my motor and the exhaust mani is off.. do you think if i plugged up the cylinders that would stop the corrosion? what if i bolted the mani back on with the same gasket?
