Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

Ok, For anyone viewing, it's a 97 RS obviously, and I will be attempting to remove the engine, rebuild, and re-install. Have plenty of money now thanks to financial aid, so now i'm gonna try to make my first build thread. Wish me luck.

Btw, i'll have pictures up tonight(when my gf brings my freakin camera back home) and i'll bring everyone up to speed where i'm at in the process.

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

Ok, figured out how to get the transmission off thanks to silver, I see what you meant about removing that lower cross member mount so that you can get to those 2 bolts...

I just dont have a 17mm wrench(this is the correct tool for the job right?)...need to run to the store tom. to get that.

I've got some pictures, let me figure out how to upload them properly sized.

Sorry, just playing with imageshack to try and find the right size.

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)





So far i've removed the following

battery
ic piping
ic
radiator and hoses
down pipe

Next I think I might try to remove the turbo and manifold together, although the bolts for the manifold are giving me a problem getting to...and I can only get an open end wrench on them and mine keep slipping off

After that, I was gonna try to get the trans off, Which i'm guessing I only need to remove the cross member under it, and then the 4 bolts on the bell housing(correct me if i'm wrong please).

My wrench set only goes up to 16mm and the bolts are bigger than that so...gotta buy a few more wrenches....and thats where i'm at right now.

Looking good so far. What kind of rebuild are you doing? Stock?

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

I already have JE pistons and eagle rods, just gonna keep them if they are not damaged...but umm...i'm not really changing anything for that matter...

The only thing im unsure about is the mounts. Should I purchase just inserts, or whole new mounts? or...?

Also, I noticed the inserts for the front trans mount are like...decrepid...how do I find new ones of those?

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

Take out the bolts from the trans to the block, dont take out the bellhousings to trans bolts. If you spun a bearing then your probably going to need new rods.

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

Ok, got the turbo off, and the manifold, and starter. Got a few of the bolts on the trans loose just so I know I can get to them...so no problem there. I took some pictures but the camera died. So when its charged ill post. Tom. I will completely unbolt the trans and move it over, and I guess start unplugging shit.

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

First two photos are obviously the equipment I bought, and the next two photos are me getting that pesky turbocharger and manifold off...

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

And silver, what do I look for to tell if the rods are bad?

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

If you spun bearings then you should probably replace then. Im betting you did if you ran it low on oil and it was knockin

Re: Junkies 97 RS Rebuild(1st timer!)

Ok. I was hoping to avoid spending another 350 bucks but, oh well. I would ask what a spun bearing looks like, but I suppose i'm about to find out.
