txblueshee Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 i have a clymers but i dont feel confident doing a complete tear down of my engine because I will end up screwing it up 454240[/snapback] Well knowing you... and knowing how many parts there are in the engine... I'd say scrap that engine and buy one off ebay... hell NYUK might even have one.... By the time you buy EVERY part for the new tranny you'll be in at least 400$... all kinds of little pins, keys n shit that'll fubar the motor if you don't install everything to spec... Mike Quote
Wallrat Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 I dunno man...tearing apart a banshee engine sounds alot worse than it actually is. Even looking at a clymers and reading through the process it seems like alot of stuff, but then when you actually are doing it you'll keep thinking, "that's it"? If anything I'd say a rebuild is just a test of your organizational skills. If you can keep everything organized its a painless procedure. I use ziploc baggies and a permament pen. All the small pieces (nuts, bolts, springs, etc.) get their own baggy and I specifically label what each is. Instead of puting everything in a bag labelled "clutch" put the pieces in several bags - clutch spring bolts, clutch inner hub nut, etc. If there's a bunch of bolts for a given part, and they're different sizes (like for the case halves), I wrap a piece of tape around each one and put the number of the hole it came out of. I then put all the parts into 1 or 2 big plastic bins so I don't have pieces scattered around my garage. Plan on 1 day to take it apart, and 1 day to put it back together. It shouldn't take you any longer than that. The closer you can make those 2 days to each other, the easier it'll be to reassemble as the process will still be familiar. One of the main benefits to rebuilding your current engine is then you'll know exactly what kind of shape its in when you're done. If you buy a used engine off ebay you have no idea how the previous owner treated it. While your replacing parts in your engine you can do some reliability upgrades, like welding your crank or installing a billet impeller. I think a rebuild is a better way to go, regardless of how much of your engine is trashed. Quote
