KA: disassembly

2011-12-16T19:46:00.000-05:00

So it's time I get something done. I have a KA that needs to be rebuilt and go into a red hatch I have. Part uno; take it apart. Started with the valve cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, accessories and engine mounts. Here's what that looks like:

It was pretty crappy in there. Before I got the motor, water got in it and mixed with the oil, separate from the cooling system. Pretty gross..

Next was the cam gear bolts, gears, upper timing chain, upper timing cover, and timing sprocket. As well as the cams and cam caps. That completes the head portion (short of removing the head bolts and head itself).

And now the head removed:

Now oil pan off, front cover/oil pump off, and flipped upside down:

Then removed the mainline girdle and the pistons/rods. Called it a day.. More tomorrow!

Why block done?

Because Y block done.

Why block?

2011-12-10T20:48:00.000-05:00

No, Y block.

and the seats cut. Pictured is an exhaust valve from a Subaru Legacy 2.5GT. Not all the valves were this bad, this one was the worst. Notice how bad it's "dished".

Now it's just touched with with the stone to show how badly it really is.

Not that it's ever really measured due to; you only remove what's necessary... buuuut for those who are curious, we took notice to the gauge.. About .010". The other exhaust vales were about .004-.006" and intake about .003".

Google doesn't give me much of anything for this topic, meaning I'm not sure if this has really been thought of or tried before. I've recently been called out on another local forum as flaking out on sales. :cray::cray: Not related to that, PMing another member I told them something liiiike, "if there was no sale, maybe that takes iTrader out of the equation" in order to comfort their angst towards a situation lol. Then it hit me... iFlaker.

Catchy sound to it. Be one crazy hell of a bitch and wine session of he said she said. The thing with negative feedback on sales (in iTrader) is both parties usually end up with the one (-) mark. (I'm saying in the interest of how they look to others, one won't call out another. Although with a no-sale, neither party is left any resource to leave feedback on one another. Sure, it's the seller's right to back out of a sale at any time for any reason. But... people wanna bitch.

My dad always told me, play to your audience. Give them what they wanna hear. iFlaker?
