Need visual input/help/advice

OK,
Just bought this turbo motor for cheap because whoever was working on it moved out and owner of house wanted to get rid of it. It has been sitting there for over 2 years.
I drained the oil to look for you-know-what, and DAymnn, oil mixed with coolant. :icon_evil
The head has been rebuilt and valves cleaned, but whoever worked on it had put the head back onto the blocK WITHOUT replacing the BHG.

My concern is more on the block. I had taken pictures and was wondering if the experts in the community could take a look and tell me if they see something suspicious, ie: bad engine/cylinder, bad pistion(s), etc...

Cylinder walls are rusty and I was hoping to clean it up without effecting anything in any negative ways.

Please let me know what see and think as this is my very first time doing this, and I'd like to do it right. Thanks! :love: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

those rusty cylinder walls may be trouble...depends how deep it is. Might be honed or bored out..but its hard to say without seeing it closer.

hot tank it and see what that gets off, the hone it see what that gets off, then if you still need more have a shop bore it out.

Time to go oversize :naughty:

hhmm, I think the rusting was created by the coolant that leaked in cyclinders.

So you're telling that the cylinder walls HAS TO BE rust free? Spotless?

If i'm going to send it to a shop, then can I upgrade with these?

Can we tell signs of rod knock just by looking at it?

btw, what is honing, bore? LOL, feel stupid but must ask!

Honing is basically like finely sanding the walls of the cylinder.

Boring is oversizing the cylinder. Thus increasing the displacmen and also requiring new pistons.

Dont feel stupid. I probaby stated somthing wrong there or the honing expample was really bad

Honing is basically like finely sanding the walls of the cylinder.

Dont try and do it with sand paper though. Youll want a honing tool if you decide to do that.

If you get the oil pan off a pic of the bottom would be helpful in making some suggestions.

Ok, just finished taking everything apart, phew.

Below are pics of the bottom end.
I also noticed mig welds on the flywheel?
Also a close-up of the part where crankshaft connects to connecting rod - I noticed green coloring on every one of them.
Also, look close to the hex bolt in the last pic. Can't I use a breaker bar and break that "weld" part?
Thanks again.

Man everytime I see pics of this I keep getting chills, Im about to be staring that the same shit for my spun rod, I really am not looking forward to all the work... I cant wait for the payoff though.

Ya, I also took a pic with the oil pump still attached....and it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen.

Can't wait to get this piece of shit back together (working) and have fun, again. =)
