    • @ValleyMobileAutomotive
      @ValleyMobileAutomotive  11 місяців тому +2

      Everything came from Rockauto. The kit was mostly Enginetech. I can't recommend this kit though. The head gasket didn't seal and the injector o-rings were too small. I would recommend Mahle for metal components and Fel-Pro for gaskets if it's available.

    How much dose that motor weigh with out head on it doing one for my wife that the timmer chain guide broke in a million parts and a bolt was found on the bottom where the oil pain meets that 2nd main crank case trying to see if we could lift it out by hand no life thinking its about 350 400lbs at most

    • @ValleyMobileAutomotive
      @ValleyMobileAutomotive  4 місяці тому +1

      That's a good question, I don't know the answer to. I think bending over the car to lift something that heavy would be very difficult. A cheap engine hoist costs around $100 and would save your back.

    • @ValleyMobileAutomotive
      @ValleyMobileAutomotive  9 місяців тому +1

      You can replace the rod bearings by removing the oil pan. It's relatively simple to do. Make sure the crankshaft journal is still good before putting on the new bearings or it will have all been for nothing. A damaged crankshaft would need to be replaced.
