Disassembly and inspection:
Block still in place
Very nice con rod bearing’s… NOT!
The 3rd con rod bearing “spinned” inside the housing (lower in the pic)
Thankfully there was no need resurface the housing!
‘81 block in a ‘89 car…
1978 part inside my engine!
Very polished cylinder liner with some scoring
Old std piston and gudgeon pin
Camshaft in bad condition
Note that the clean metal was the only part of the cam in contact with the follower!
This is why the cam was worn like that. 1mm less in the center of followers.
‘90 EFI head
Oil cooler in wrong position
Had no idea that the oil cooler had a no-return valve built-in…
A bit rusty flywheel
Water pump in an unbelievable state, note the rust blister’s on the vane’s surface!
Clutch (still good…)
Gearbox after cleaning a bit
THAT’S a lot of part’s!
