It's the "heat sink" looking thingy under the air pump bracket

You can't miss it

 

You could probably locate anything in the engine with your eyes closed I bet.. hahaha

 

If it's still there

 

Coral springs aint too far from me...

 

I pulled my air pump and the fuel pump resistor pack stayed to the chassis

LOL Jorge, I've been busy working on my car and fixing up my garage putting more lights in and stuff, so I haven't been around on the forums too much


Come on guys, we need a progress update here!

 

c'mon, you and I know Ray better then that. I can see it now:

***Rotorocks starts walking towards the computer to log into 8 club***

"GET your *** back over here! We've got work to do!" - Ray.

 

Saturday night.........South Beach

Naw, I know they are probably up to their *** right now trying to get it all done.

 

Crunch time :o

 

OK, we have pulled the motor out, cleaned it with a pressure washer, put it on an engine stand, and pulled it apart.
my worst fear is true. it is an apex seal on the rear rotor that gave. A tiny piece of it broke off, and just murdered the housing. as soon as we find out, we dropped the tools and went to the pool. there is nothing we can do at this point but wait till Monday, so I can buy a new housing.

Tomorrow CRH and I will clean the rotors, the rear rotor has some damage on it too, bit we'll fix that (it is not irreparable), fit the seals, assemble everything to the point of the last housing, and then just chill until the housing is here.

Here are the pics:

 

 

Sorry to hear that - bummer indeed. Man your LIM is dirty!

 

Ha----Nope! Good guess though. Dang Pilot(new) so tight. I torqued it in with longer trans bolts a little at the time--finally! Now hope I have the PPF adjusted right--measures out find. Got to adjust the clutch soon.
Dont yall get cranky now,

beers

 

Hey no failr yall have a covered area and pavement--come on to Ga and see what I have to work in!
Sorry to hear about the housing man--bummer. You may want to go ahead and get both new ones?
Your lower intake really dont look that bad. How were the ports in the housing?

i hear cardboard under the jack is a must up there.

beers

 

^^^^^^

what oil does vald use? premix? i saw a bunch of gunk in the intake accordion and was fearing the worse..

how often with the 44k? (it rocks!! just put it in yesterday)

beers

 

Vlad, congrats on the rebuild, sorry to hear you had apex and rotor damage man. I really wouldnt have expected that from how it sounded.

Im gunna have to make a trip up there once the engine is all rebuilt and the turbo is fitted again. Ive got a new job, so I may be ordering my parts sooner than expected.

Hope all else goes well with the build guys. Hope to see you soon Vlad.

 

Shitty deal... so party until the new housings come?

 

Can you guys take some good pics of the damaged parts? I see some scoring on the iron and rotor but what about the housing?

 

WHo can afford cardboard?--save it until Christmas.

I will never forget that flywheel install and then the guy had the wrong flywheel! Thank God Charlie had the right one in stock!

swoope: what the heck is that new avatar? Is that kangaroo f#@king that crossfire???

Anxiously awaiting pics...

 

Hmmmm:



Using a cherry picker, how lame What happened to pulling it by hand Ogre style??

Sorry about the housing, that really blows.

 

Why do I feel a game of engine toss coming up...

"I can throw one 10 feet..."
"Not uh!"
"Uh Huh!"
"Not uh!"
"Uh Huh!"
"Not uh!"
"Uh Huh!"
"Not uh!"
"Uh Huh!"

"Poo Poo Head!"

 

that's easy. smash the other side of the fender a bit.

it might not look good, but you can claim it's for aerodynamics, like a golf ball is dimpled.
