Eccentric shaft pully qyestion.
 
I'm guessing you have to get the eccentric pulley bolt off before you can5 take the front cover off? How much torque is on it 350?

BoostedFC 01-14-2011 12:31 AM

Off hand not sure about the torque, but yes you will need to remove the pulley to pull the cover.

Eccentric shaft pulley tightening torque is 5.8 - 8.0 lbs (shop manual)

It was a stupid question lol but thanks guys

Hey black I took my header off and a bunch of coolant poured out lol

BoostedFC 01-15-2011 12:02 AM

Coolant pouring out of exhaust ports is not a good sign.

BoostedFC 01-15-2011 12:07 AM

Should be interesting to see the inside of housings.

Only thing that I can think of the scenario is coolant going thru TB may have possibly gone into the header as if there's a ruptured coolant seal coolant will blend with oil and both oil and coolant will burn ina working chamber. Residue will not even resemble coolant...

Let us know what you find upon opening the "pandora's box"!

Okay will do! I just now dropped the engine out! Now was size is that huge nut under the clutch? I couldn't find my measuring tape.

black rocket 01-15-2011 04:42 AM

LOL Sorry man but that was funny.

Now to Easton you might want invest in a repair manual. If you are not around a computer or have the manual there take a few sockets over to the nut to see which one fits. Just an idea & no I'm not being a smart ass.

EastonH8 01-15-2011 06:42 PM

Hahaha you guys are funny

I downloaded some factory manuals from my phone. Before i take it apart i'm probably going to order a repair video or just get a jdm.

BoostedFC 01-15-2011 08:58 PM

Repair manuals & videos are your friend, love them & use them! If will save you a lot of headaches.

Don't you like getting under the car then having to go back to your tool box few times? Heh I hatee that myself.

EastonH8 01-15-2011 11:05 PM

Heh yea well ill let you guys know what I find :)

BoostedFC 01-16-2011 12:37 AM

You know that pisses me off to be under the car & you forgot to bring down a tool needed. Most of the time I'll just bring the whole socket tray down there.

black rocket 01-16-2011 12:48 AM

Or, working on a car thinking its either metrc or standard and uses both.

Since I brought the torque spec, make sure you don't over torque oil pans as its torque is only mere 8 lbs. over torque them oil pan bolts are the single most common practice causes MORE oil leak by trying to stop from oil leak.

BoostedFC 01-16-2011 04:46 AM

If you are doing the rebuild, this would be the time to consider any porting. No point in throwing it back together just to pull it apart later for a port job. I'm not sure what kind of budget you are working with. Here you have a few options to do so if interested.
1. Have a shop do the porting
2. Buy a porting template & do the porting yourself
3. Purchase housings & plates already ported

Other things maybe to think about are the seals, oil pump & regulator or any other internal parts.

black rocket 01-16-2011 07:16 AM

Yes, while you're at it concept is highly recommended to a certain degree. My "while you're at it" still haunts me.

EastonH8 01-16-2011 11:32 PM

Well my budget at the moment is a G. I need to see the housings and everything else before I decide. I'll prob buy the template and have my uncle port it. If things don't look good might go with jdm. All depends on the condition of the internals.
