    Spun Bearing Why Cylidner #1, Twice now.

    Motor I'm speaking of was an na factory original....when you rotated the #1 piston too bottom dead center you could push on the piston and it would fall an extra 1/4"! It left a very very unmistakeable ring on the head! I was going to purchase this motor but I told the seller that I wanted to...

    My machnist didn't keep them in order so I'm kinda screwed....some buckets I can't get back out but all the shims spin very well....could be because he beadblasted the head....either way it's not like they are so tight that I forced them in but they are tight enough that I can't get a good grip...

    cant get trans out need opinions!

    Yup...prybar and wooden wedges as your gonna start opening the pressure plate and it will probably travel pretty far while staying under tension...wooden wedges will let you reposition the prybar without the clutch pulling the trans back to square 1. All I gotta say in this situation is...

    Lifter Question...

    I'm going threw the same deal right now infact! Some buckets are tight...most of the tight buckets have proper clearance as far as valve lash so I'm just going to leave them in...once the head gets some heat they should loosen up as well as some oil...I'm not worried about it personally

    cant get trans out need opinions!

    You know for sure the pilot bearing is stuck on the shaft? If so I really don't know what one can do other than unbolt the pressure plate but I doubt that's possible! You may just be letting too much pressure on the trans and not letting the clutch disk slide off the trans shaft....Jack up the...

    It's up too you...I personally wouldn't as hondas "like toyota's" are easy to work on if you have too...volkswagon isn't very user friendly! Is a gti direct injected?...if so that alone is a pain in the ass too work with as well as expensive! Your call but I wouldn't as you just can't go...
