Engine Disassembly
|
|
|
|
After Mike brings the engine into the engine room, he inspects the engine for any external cracks or damage and starts by removing the old spark plugs.
|
|
The manifold is removed and inspected. If it is in very good condition it will be sold as a used part. A new manifold will be installed on the engine during reassembly.
|
|
|
|
Mike removes the water pump. It is discarded and replaced with a new pump later.
|
|
Next, the pulley is removed…
|
|
|
|
And then, the timing gear cover is pulled.
|
|
The governor Mounting plate is removed…
|
|
|
|
And it's finally time to remove the head bolts and cylinder head.
|
|
Not all head gaskets come off this easily.
|
|
|
|
Now, Mike can flip the engine over and remove the oil drain plug.
|
|
Then, the oil pan is removed.
|
|
|
|
After the crankshaft is lifted out, it's a simple matter to pull the (4) pistons.
|
|
This is where it starts to get a little trickier. Each of the valve assembly retainers must be removed…
|
|
|
|
Before Mike can carefully drive out the valve assembly (remember the engine is viewed upside down).
|
|
The valve assembly is removed and discarded…
|
|
|
|
And the cam simply slips out.
|
|
Now Mike carefully sets up our custom built "sleeve puller".
|
|
|
|
Here you can see a "partially" removed sleeve.
|
|
You can see that Mike has removed the second sleeve from the right. When the final sleeve is removed, the components are ready for the machine shop.
