I'm thinking I'll pick it up this weekend. Want to road trip?

Did you get your car running yet? Who do you guys think you are, Leasure? :D

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

I'm back to work this weekend. :(

Nope, got other things going on.
Soon, hopefully in time for the end of the monsoon.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Love it, street credit.

In all seriousness, good deal to get it back on the road. Not enough DSM around anymore.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

True that.

On Saturday my daughter and I made the drive up to Grand Rapids to buy the Built short block from Dark2g. The motor looks great. He and his friends were really cool and have a nice shop to work out of. it was really nice meeting you guys.

Yesterday I finally got the old motor out of the car, and disassembled. Its not good so far I think the only parts I've found that are reusable are the cams, oil pickup tube, and the piece that goes around the rear main seal.

So at this point I'm in need of
2G head
front cover / oil pump
oil pan
baffle plate

we agree fun meeting you as well. I will take a look in the garage tomorrow and see if we have any parts to help you out for sure. I assume andre had an oil pan to give you. idk i'll deff check though. Also I would not feel comfortable reusing the pickup tube but thats me. I also hope the tubo is ok.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Thanks. If I do reuse the pick up it will be cleaned multiple times. The turbo exhaust inlet had a lot of stuff in it from the cylinder that the valve broke. The wheels look fine and there is no shaft play but I will probly have it rebuilt just to make sure its good to go.

God that's a lot of destruction for a 16G car.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

It was a hell of a 16g car considering the weight. I think the destruction would have been less. But when the rod broke it took out the rear balance shaft. When that happened the oil pump locked up and took out the timing belt destroying the head.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Wow that ate if self good.

I have a new oem pan with a 10an fitting welded on and a few baffle plates.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Holy epic carnage pics batman! Thank you for sharing!

My favorite part is the rod impressions on the baffle bolted under the crank, you can see how it just bounced bounced bounced its way across there and then kabam out the side of the pan :D

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

If you're going to break something, do it big. I think you win. :D

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
