Hi guys,
Back to my own new thread now as I'm planning to drop my 8v engine and box for the first time.
Already got loads of help from you guys from another thread I hijacked
.
Will have more questions to come.
Greek mentioned a couple of things to me by IM today. I want to ask:
1) how to modify the sump to improve flow on tight corners (possibly a question for Kev)
2) how to clean the oil channels in the block effectively and cheaply (vinegar, baking soda and soap?) Also to clean the inside of the block, clean enough to eat off.
3) Can I drop the front cross member with the wheels still on the ground or does the suspension need to be off the ground to release the tension on the springs?
Engine has 135,000 kms on it and have ordered standard main bearings. Got some plastigauge. Just hope the crank is still within spec as I don't want to have to re-grind. Will see with the plastigauge once everything is out.
