    Awesome video! What rebuild kit did you end up using? And you said you put new connecting rods in? Where did you get those? I know there is a TSB for connecting rods bending in these (destroyed my engine) I was just curious if there is a brand you recommend for avoiding that in the future

    • @ValleyMobileAutomotive
      @ValleyMobileAutomotive  Рік 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.

      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  Рік 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.
