Really like this!
Update of this weekends progress.
Set about further stripping down the engine, so flipped it upside down and removed the sump.
Removed the baffel and the oil pick up. Also found it had ARP conrod bolts fitted. Its like christmas come early!
Also just gave the block a general clean and de coked all the pistons.
Began rebuilding the cam carrier.
Gave the Nova a clean so thought id throw some pics up
Had to pop down to Halfords to pic up a 12 point 10mm star socket to remove the conrod bolts and found this in the carpark so naturaly i parked next to the old girl.
With the tool in hand i set about stripping the bottom end
cracked off the bolts
Removed the bearing caps
Shell bearings all looked good, not too much wear but will replace anyway
Crank journals also looked good, debating weather to get them polished.
Pushed the pistons out
Anyone know if these are oversize or standard??
All labled up!
