Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

Well my new (now old engine) craped out on me a few days ago... it just started smoking like crazy.... smoke out the tailpipe... smoke out the hood.... smoke inside the car... My prediction..... fried rings.... but no worry i have a perfectly good spare engine (minus the blown head gasket) well come to find out no autoparts store stocks this exotic item... i ordered one from the dealer... and they took 4 days to deliver.. well i slapped it together last night and this morning... and this is how im spending my weekend...

Im doing this all by myself... Its a bit frustrating when your trying to lift the engine out of the car and your holding the chain with one hand... and your pumping the hoist with the other.. and you have one foot under the wheel of the hoist to keep it from rolling away...

anyways enjoy

Hah, i just got done swapping motors tonight, started friday afternoon, got done tonight, but had to make a few trips to the store, trip to my biddys to weld on the oil pan fitting, etc..... also did it by myself, not to bad. Now i just have to figure out why im misfiring up top, arg...

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

call me tomorrow, albert, I'll come over and help.

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

you need to hook up your camera with some contrast adjustment, I feel like I just got done swimming and I was opening my eyes in the pool for 3 hours.

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

Update

Well I finally finished everything... It was a bitch to do under the hot ass sun, but everything is bolted up and running good and nothing leaks.....

I removed the oil pan from the old engine and cranked it over manually with the plugs still in, and you can hear the air escaping out of the bottom, This concludes the rings were totally fucked, and the crankcase was getting pressurized like a ----------er... thats why it was smoking like crazy.....

ANyways.... 1 man swaps are something else i'll tell you that.. im used to working with other people on major thigns like this... but this really brings out the best in you... and tests your patience and limits, and it feels pretty damn good knowing you got the job well done...

PS.... DO you have to retorque OEM HONDA head gaskets??? after you install and run them or should they be good to go??? torqued them to 56lbs

Updated update.....

Took it for a drive under boost conditions... and the SOB is over heating...

The head is fucked..... POS>... have to take the old one off and use that one...

heres a math equation for you

(bad block+Good Head) DEvided by (good block+Bad Head)= Good Motor

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

ARE U REUSINg your head bolts? if u are i would torque them dowm more that what the book says. i always torque my ---- down to 70lbs cuzz i know those fcken bolts strectch. shiti think ive even done 80lbs before.

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

80 ft lbs!!! Stock is 47!!! BTW, you don't have to retorque Honda head bolts but, I guess the head you put on was screwed anyway, so...

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

well i had the other head on there and running... but it was overheating stilll....... ----..... i was pissed.... really pissed.... 3 days of work for nothing.....


then i went to check the coolant hoses... and i noticed that the hose from the radiator to the thermostat was cold... and the top hose was hot as ----.... well duh.... the ------- thermostat was closed shut.... Wouldnt open for ----.... damn,.... that sucked... i removed the head for nothing... well not really for nothing....i put the better looking one... i guess im getting the old one rebuilt...

SO now im running with no thermostat till tuesday.... when the autoparts stores are open again...

And i turned the boost down to 9psi.... i dont want to ---- with it untill i get my other engine in... and when i finish it and its ready to drop... im taking this poor bastard to the track and rape the living ---- out of it RENR style.....

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

at least you found out what it was before anything else got damaged. i hope u take some video when u blow that thing up. 20psi! 20psi! 20psi! 20psi!

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

what turbo manifold is that?? :o

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

its the latest model from Mexican Magyver Racing. theyre indestructible... ;)

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

i want one, where do i get it, howwww much..haha sorry... :o

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

HEHE... i made that manifold... and destroyed the blueprints in my brain with some beer... so i can never make another one that can be used against me....

JK... i made that ----.... and its pretty much indestructible. and looks pretty sick...

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

More than likly you just needed to bleed the cooling system, thats very common after doing engine swaps or removing all the coolant from the system. That sucks you took the head off, hehe.

I wouldnt torque your stock head bolts over 55lbs. d/b/h Series head bolts are Not Torque to yield head bolts. (meaning they shouldnt stretch unless your torquing them over stock specs) ::) I go in 3 steps 15 - 30 - and final torque to give good head sealage.

Nothing like a guy thats having problems with his motor overheating and he says, "I turned it down to 9 psi". hahaha. Way to go Albert.

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

I just torqued the head to 60lbs, removed the Thermostat... bleed the coolant... then took it for a spin down to santa ana.... to pick up a new hood... cause i was getting tired of looking at that ugly POS that was on there...i was about to throw it inthe dumpster... but i figured i could sell it to some chunts for some gas money...

Re:Ghetto_D = 1 Man Army (DAy off pics....)
 

I thought your wheels were gold man? did the locals try to steal them and you had to paint them black? ;)

That's all I could think about when you were telling about the hoist and keeping it in place ;D
