I just want something to read basically to help me assemble this engine back together. Ive never assembled a motor and theres definetely some tricky things as for as order and thrust washers and seals and such. Ive got a complete bottom end rebuild kit on the way. My block is pretty much bare as of now other than the big coolant pipe at the back and the girdle

But what I really need help with, is how to assemble the engine and all its little nick nacks to get it ready to drop in. You know like water pump, setting the timing and all the un stuff, basically starting form scratch.... having it ready to drop in, get it to idle and then Ill install the turbo, or should I do both motor and turbo at once? I doubt Ill be able to get it to idle/run good on a basemap and I dont wanna bring it to chris running shitty and take up the day fixing stupid ----

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Ive looked all weekend and figured someone might have. Any pics of motors being assembled or ready to drop in would help

Hope someone can help

Thanks

You really should get a manual with a step by step engine build-up.

I work at a production machine shop. We all just make individual parts, dont assemble engines. I throw down the Viper transmission spacer/retainer, another guy makes a US apache huge *** gear, 360 Modena little pieces. Aerospace parts, no assmebly

Ive got a Haynes but ---- does it ever suck

Get a helms manual,they show everthing and explain which way the wasers and such go.They also have all the torque specs too,it would be nice to have a good write up though Just make sure to take your time and double check, I messed alot ---- up by rushing it.

stealthmode did a write up of assembling a bottom end not to long ago. flip through a few pages, and there is something in there. also i believe in the FAQ stickey in the FI section, there is a massive write up of a B series rebuild. its a huge thread (56K big big no no).

Ya I seen stealthmodes write up

Assembling the bearings and pistons/rods isnt what I need help with though, its all the little ---- like gaskets, seals and misc ----, along with setting the timing to begin with and just getting the sucker ready to drop right in
