Engine swap
Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 1:04 am
The low km engine I bought from Dstocks is going in the FTO within the next month. Mainly because I've got the time on my hands on weekends (without a license ).. The current one still runs fkn tough as nails, but has a few decent oil leaks, and has just clocked over 370 000kms. It's gotta die soon surely I literally used to valve bounce everyday allday.....
No doubt I'll have a few questions throughout the swap
Here's a couple to start off with:
Can I rip the current one out with the gearbox attached, pull gearbox off once out,attach to new engine then install back into the car??
Annnd
What should I do to this engine whilst it's currently out? Should all the oil seals etc be done now even know it has low kms, but has been sitting in sheds for a good while?
What else?
Cheers.
