Patterson Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I need to get the garage squared away so I can get things really rolling on this. I still need to decide on colors, specific parts, etc. The little bit of fab work that is done will be done by Jon over at MooreSpeed. Got a few surprises in store for the haters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC K9 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Are you able to pull the car into the garage yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Finally got to pull the lump form the nose yesterday, took about two and a half hours. Here are some pics. Many of you have been to my garage, and have witnessed to mess that is usually there. I cant remember the last time I have had a car actually in there. Still didn't fit all the way. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture215-1.jpg This is where we started. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture216-1.jpg Lulz, I think thats not where that goes. I could be wrong though... http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture221.jpg Wrestled with the axles way too long, but finally got it hooked up. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture225.jpg Greasy goodness http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture227.jpg Up and out, still greasy... http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture229.jpg Water cooled trans? Tranny was full of water. Guess I will be tearing into that too.. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture232.jpg Aftermarket clutch, and flywheel no miles. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture233.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture234.jpg Yes I do occasionally work on my own stuff... http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture223.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture237.jpg And just to check for the sake of checking since everybody is dying to know.Crank End-play. Checked it four times just to be sure and got anywhere from .007"-.015". Not horrible, but hosed either way. This is the threshold before it eats itself alive. I have yet to tear it down the rest of the way to see if it did or not already. But in my book this one's done. Off to the machine shop it goes...

Patterson Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 So I tore the motor down tonight. What fun. Typical dirty nasty not taken care of DSM motor. 90K on this motor I highly doubt it. Onto the badness. Pulley side of Thrust Bearing http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture264.jpg Flywheel side http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture263.jpg The proposed culprit to the Crank Walk issue. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture258.jpg Clogged/Mis-designed piston squirters. These are getting plugged, problem solved. Clean bores. Should be able to get away with a quick hone. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture260.jpg Ack! Me's thinks this thing was running a bit rich. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture247.jpg This will fix it all... http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture265.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ya know what? I'm not building this car. F-it. Honestly, it has left such a bad taste in my mouth. I get the whole buying used is buying somebody else's problems. After nearly 90 cars since age 16 I've been through it a few times. I really didn't want to do an engine build. Didn't think/hoped I wouldn't have to do one on this car. The question has been raised for months since coining the phrase "I'm gonna Butt-F*** you in the mouth." How does one do this? I finally have an answer. Buy a DSM. Wanna go for the money shot as well? Buy one that is broken to boot. I've had a pretty good streak for buying cars the last few years. This piece of Automotive Assholery broke it. So in lieu of this particular grouping of gramatical fuckall, I will post a stupidly low priced F/S thread tonight for everything DSM I own. However, I want to keep the thread open for the replacement. The Patter$on does abide, just not to the dsmgods creedo of 2 weeks of running good and three years of frustration. Leave that for the 20-25 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
