Good thing I got another block for this rebuild!

 

[johnmarines]

Dang.... thats huge... I just replaced my block with a small pinky size hole due to it throwing a rod... good luck on the build... and remember.... lots of pictures.

 

[bastarddsm]

Haha...ewww you broke it bad.

 

[Backinajiffy12]

nice man....well not nice...when I blew my motor mine look pretty close to that

 

[Dsmj89]

Good job, . How did that happen ?

 

[whe3ls]

well i found your problem...

 

[ziggo0]

Not 100% sure how it happened. I bought the car like this. Guy I bought it off of said he was just cruising along and their buddy behind them was covered in metal and oil . The piston farthest from the timing belt was in many pieces...hopefully going to get the motor out tonight/tomorrow. Definitely lot'so'pictures.

Buff it out. If it won't buff out, try jb weld

 

[Rob10_99]

Very nice, never seen anything that bad! I like how it ran down the BS canal.

Bellhousing survive?

 

[CrazyM]

try jb weld

+1 for that.

And as a last resort there is always that Mighty Putty!

im gonna 3rd the jb weld and mighty putty ftw haha i have a small leak in one of my clutch fluid lines through some mighty putty on it and bam fixed her right up im sure it will work in your application too

 

[dSmgs-T]

about the same size as the one i had in the 7bolt i pulled out of my '95. spun rod bearings FTL!

 

[booostedGSX]

Holy giant hole! Good luck with the fresh rebuild!

Well, I got the motor part of the way out...EVERYTHING disconnected, all bolts out of tranny to block...I'm trying to pull it with the transmission staying in the car. However...I'm trying to understand how in the hell people got enough clearance to pull the motor out with the flywheel/clutch attached to the crank? It looks impossible to get enough clearance to pull the motor out! Any hints?

Edit: nevermind, just going to pull it all together as one.

Yeah drop it out the bottom of the car.

Yeah drop it out the bottom of the car.

Or pull it out the top.

I dropped mine out the bottom and put it in from the top. Just wanted to try both ways.
