zeitgeist57 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Who: Scott, Eli, and anyone else (preferably with engine-building experience!) interested in pulling engine/transmission. What: need to yank engine/transmission (300ci inline-6 from my 1982 ford f100), separate engine from the transmission, and examine motor to see what rebuilding services will be required... when/Where: Saturday, 10/29...5pm. My house. Domino'S $3.99 pizzas for everyone, lite beer/soda to drink. All rotating assemblies, radiator and hoses, motor mounts, linkages have been disconnected. I anticipate not too long to pull engine, but more time spent on breaking it down. Please let me know if anyone has trays/tools that will help with separating, organizing, and measuring vital engine parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updates to come, everyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why it won't happen, but you could have asked me before you made plans if I'm really that important. As long as its not raining. I'd rather lay around the house on sunday.

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 what area of town do you live in? i might stop by and "advise" for an hour or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I might be able to stop by, but I think we have a Halloween party to go to that night. If you're stripping down the motor that night make sure to have have several plastic tubs for parts in several sizes. I like using zip-lock freezer bags too since I can write on them with a sharpy. And last but not least a digital camera will be your friend when you put it all back together (assuming you took pictures of everything when you took it apart). I have a tray you can borrow that is laid out for taking apart heads if you want. Little bins for rockers, springs, retainers, valves, push-rods, lifters, etc... Keeps everything in order so you know you can put it back exactly where it came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Normally I would agree with rick but seeing as the whole truck is so simple it only has like 6pissing bolts holding it together to might not be a issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 As I have found - and I'm sure Rick and Scott can acknowledge having worked with me on engines - no matter how simple the motor may be I'll find a way to f@ck it up. Like someone paid me to do so. Great feedback. You're all invited. Bring said tools, and make sure your name's on everythang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
