Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Wow been a little bit.
Well work is slowing down a bit, only 40 hr weeks for a while so I'm able to put some time into the car. I ended up with a used longblock from a local, thank you. It runs great and feels very strong.
Actually this is probably the first motor I have had that is good because I cannot turn the motor by hand like I could with all my past motors, I understand why people want the plugs out when trying to turn the motor by hand.

9/22/12 - Getting started on the motor pull. blackawdtsi came over to help. It for sure wouldn't of happened so quickly without his help. Thanks again.

9/22/12 - I was an idiot and decided to install my dual Flex-A-Lite Fan setup, made for a lot more headache, but I'm glad its on there. It moves over 2000cfm of air!


On a side note, people stop running damn zip ties through perfectly good radiators! Holy crap. I know have a SPAL 14" fan for sale!

9/22/12 - New motor on stand. Stock bottom end, 2G head with full Evo valvetrain.


9/22/12 - Bye bye old motor.


9/22/12 - Out finally.


9/22/12 - Trying to get out what I thought would be the impossible crank bushing, but giant thanks to Wade for the advice. Mofo is a genius.


9/22/12 - Left is the old, right is the new. Time to swap manifolds and cams.


9/22/12 - Swapping parts time.


9/22/12 - Pulling stock cams out, largest stock cams though.


9/22/12 - Thanks to Tom Woo for all the help it definitely wouldn't of happened without him.


9/22/12 - Tom is also to thank for all these pics.


9/22/12 - Shawn Carroll showed up and helped out a ton, thank you so much.


9/22/12 - Getting the motor in for the first time. I effed up and put on the flexplate backwards. :facepalm:


9/22/12 - Installing downpipe and such, almost done.

9/22/12 - Shawn liking my shiny S90 TB.


9/22/12 - Tom taking random pics, kind of strange at this point.


9/22/12 - Tightening downpipe.


9/22/12 - FAL dual fan setup installed. Very tight fit, I need to hurry up and get rid of the baby turbo.


9/22/12 - Ready to be started, sadly the battery was dead.


Plan is to burp the cooling system, car was running really hot, I ordered a new battery. Hopefully get the car running solid for this weekend.
