Engine Rebuild and Others
Hi guys
I finally retired my Stealth (DOHC R/T Non-Turbo) after 160,000 miles.
I plan on pulling the engine this week-end (Got everything disconnected) and do an inspection.
What are the determining factors for buying a rebuild engine, getting a new block or rebuild the current engine ?
I have all the time in the world to get this done, and resources come with the paychecks
My goal is to "rebuild" the entire front end and here are the two major issues I've found before even looking at the engine.
The engine harness is dry-rotted and connectors are rusted (Couldn't find new one, but E-Bay seems to have them in good conditions)
I can NOT disconnect the steering rod and the other two ends...not sure what to call them. The bearings are pressed. Do I need a press on the spot ?
Found that every single bearing in the front-end has the plastic split in two...definately bad.
I will use this thread to post my progress. If the admin doesn't mind
