Taggy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) If your only changing your shells you dont need to split the engine, you can just strip the bottom end, you dont need to remove the head from the block etc. You can see from the pics whats involved changing Edited December 17, 2012 by Taggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 You will need to remove the crank pulley, timing belt, sump, remove the rod caps, main caps, drop the gearbox, remove clutch and flywheel assembly and then your able to drop the crank. I don't think the dissassemble is apart of Taggys guide but will show you how to put it back together Don't forget you'll have to measure the journals using a micrometer to find suitable bearings.

Taggy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I did make a disassemble guide but pissing UKSC lost it when their site was fucking up all the time, lost hours and hours worth of writing!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 All gone tits up mate! You still got all the pics of the disassembly? Could always write it back in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Not splitting the block was kinda my plan i already have bearings in but im guessing previoua owner didn't get a machine shop to measure the journels before fitting also need to fit new oil rings as he has non turbo oil rings fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
