Engine is out of the car, so no starter trick. It was removed before this way to do the water pump and timing belt, but now it's out and I didn't use the starter before hand :-/. I have tried a penetrating oil, and a (crappy) impact. I have beat on it with a hammer as well. All while trying...

Engine is in tons of pieces all over my garage :-X But when I say everything is oil coated.. I mean everything, minus the inlet and outlet on the turbo.. haha. Since the coolant was pumping oil around as well, it certainly made things even worse. Anyway to really know if the seals are bad? Or is...

Is this definitely turbo oil seals? All the piping was oil coated, as were the exhaust and intake manifolds. The spark plugs were swimming in oil when I removed them, and the whole outside of the motor is oil coated. The inlet wheel has no play at all, spins well. The outlet has a bit of play...

So, the boom had cracked. Sorry no fail picture, the engine is now out thanks to a tree in my yard, haha. I can take a picture of the hoist with the boom in if you really wanna see how badly it went. Nothing was hung up, engine came out just fine once the tranny was off and it was hooked up to...

The boom had cracked. We are removing the tranny... the clutch fork on the r154 just pulls out? Sort of only getting a couple hours a night to do anything, but the tranny is about off.. removed some more crap and went and got a bunch more tools yesterday. Including a huge pulley to hang from a...

No harbor freight around. No way to make the 160 mile trip to one with a engine hoist coming along on the way back. You are telling me that the engine and tranny weighs over 1000 pounds? What's the engine, like 475 or something I think? Since the boom was in the 1/2 ton slot.. theres like 3-4...

Ugh.. I think my friend has a welder? hah. Will the boom on the hoist snap or just bend to a full 90 degrees and beyond? Is it fixable? My friends redneck dad is coming over soon I think. Hoping he has some crazy idea to at least get it out or back on the mounts. I don't care if the engine gets...

lol.. the engine has rod knock and a BHG... I can't really afford to just go buy ANOTHER hoist. this one is fine. It's just the arm that slides in and out(boom) that is bent. Idk if I can buy another or not though. Might try and borrow just a boom from another hoist and support the engine and...

It's a 2 ton jack, and was in the 1/2 ton slot. It's lifted a big block out before, so idk how this was too much. It was just about to clear and be good to go when it was noticed. Where in the TSRM is the body parts? I am not seeing it. Can I take off enough to slide the engine and tranny...

Pretty much as the title states.. going fairly smoothly, then theres a bad sounding noise.. another pump up and then my friend just says 'HOLY SHIT" as the boom on the engine hoist has bent down about 2 inches. ANYONE ever have this happen? I need help/advice immediately. I lowered it trying to...

Don't fool yourself into thinking its anything other than rod knock unless you can physically see another cause.. hah. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Wasn't the end of my cars life for me though. 17k miles later it finally decided to pack up, not even due to it's horrible knock...

Welp, did some more research and discovered the torque specs were way way off.. :-X Actually found a post of someone using all arp.. go figure. Anyway, the engine is now re-assembled correctly, and the car is in position to be taken apart tonight and tomorrow before I go to work. Idk if I will...

I am sort of in the middle of a build and am stuck. My friend who was supposed to be helping got a job and basically was forced to bail. And now I am stuck with a non-running car and an incomplete engine. Basically I have quite a few questions/concerns as far as the motor going together. I have...
