okay right now am waiting for my head to get fiinsh getting ported and its taking to long and i got bored. i got a d16y8 motor with a knock. i decided to take it apart and rebuild it. will post some picture soon once i find my usb. oh yeh cylinder one bearings where busted. thats what was making the knock. spent my new year eve cleaning the block in the shower. am a loser!!!!

New Years is over rated. Once you get that puppy running and idling, it will be music to your ears. The sooner the better.

thats what i told my wife, y get wasted for 1 day when u can get wasted everyday.

i tired downloading pics but i guess there to big. anyone know how to down size them so i can up load it?

finally got it done. i know i could had it hot tank but its snowing crazy in michigan plus i like doing as much of the works on my car as i can. if anyone else got pictures of them cleaning there motor, post them. oh yeh the cylinder walls rust real quick, but am gonna go to advance autoparts once it opens up and grab a honing tool. i will also soak the block with oil and wd40 so it won't turn white/rust.

this r the only before pics i can find

also i was wondering if it is possible to drill a oil passage here since the bearings already got ahole there to help the bearings get more lubercated

I drill out the crown passages, ive not tried to do the block

thats wat i was thinkin of doin but kinda scared to do the block good info with the pic thanks

lol same here but mine was a head on my computer desk

any1 know how to get rid of that greenish build up on the block. i could sand it but the tight areas are just impossible to get too. any info will be appricated.

glass bead(sandblasting with glass balls) or a wire brush, i usually just run it to the machine shop and let them dip it, doesnt cost much and it will look new. I have found that oven cleaner works great or aircraft paint stripper, when i clean up suspension parts i use aircraft stripper, it eats everything to bear metal in about 15 mins most of the time i dont even have to scrub the parts just let that stuff sit and spray it off it eats right through the stock 20 year old paint,oil,grease,tar, and everything else we drive through.

u can get the stripper at autozone in a spraycan for 5 bucks , 1 can will do an engine and a tranny NOTE: do not get this stuff on you it eats through skin as well, it will eat right through rubber gloves too, ive never sprayed it on n e thing but metal, i doubt wires and soft plastics will survive its wrath, and if it touches the paint on your car kiss it goodbye

the cleaner is called stripper? thanks. i guess i will be visiting autozone again.

Its in a spray can a little taller than spray paint, called aircraft stripper, it will be back there with the spray paint
