Chris Wilson Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 In God knows how many years stripping and building engines I have never seen main cap bolts shear when undoing them! How very VERY strange. You do know you turn them counter clockwise to UNdo them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 In God knows how many years stripping and building engines I have never seen main cap bolts shear when undoing them! How very VERY strange. You do know you turn them counter clockwise to UNdo them? first for everything i suppose strange that it was just one, book says do it over 7 passes, so 7 passes it was just as well there getting replaced, and i got the leftovers out.

Geo Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) OK so Engine goes to get cleaned tomorrow, i had one little thing to do prior to it going, was the core/freeze plugs. Lee/Hodge said to replace while i had the chance. So with a big flat head screw driver and hammer i smacked the life out them, to turn them on there side, then with some Grips wiggled them free. I had some emery paper so i cleaned up the holes and wiped with some WD-40. Tbh they were easy to pop out, the bugger was when they fell into the black, i spend out 20mins wrestling with one to get it back out the hole. all set now for some loving Edited October 19, 2014 by Geo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) So picked up the Engine today after it was cleaned, asked the guy to check how straigh it was. It came back that he had to take off 8 Thou of it, as it was warped, as you can see from the pics the shiney parts, and the circles. this was caused by over heating the old boy said. This kinda corresponds with when i was taking the water pump off the thermostat was crumpled inside, so it could have over heated at one point. All nice and cleaned Honing cleaned up the bores nice. I lubed them up with some oil to keep them from rusting, but the guys had all ready done it, but i was playing it safe. Just need to order my bulk of the parts for the rebuild, to get the bottom end all rebuilt then wrapped up.
