Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor

Its on there pretty bad like almost burnt on would that work I know this stuff cleans really well even will take off paint if its left on to long,just not sure about how good it is with the inside of the motor
 


Re: started tear down of the 01 motor

use a wire brush or really stiff scrub brush, with brake cleaner. (stay out of the lifter holes) the burnt look should fade. as long as its all clean it will be fine if its dark still. regular oil changes will continue to clean it up over time.

This. I wouldn't degrease anything other then the block when it's completely assembled so the degreaser will only getting on the outside and has no chance of getting in the block. And grab some cheap shop towels.
 
Re: started tear down of the 01 motor

Alright thank you so much you guys, should I put the old lifters in while im clean it so nothing gets in?

That wouldn't hurt but if you spray it on a rag it also pretty hard to get it down in there.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor

Rags plus break cleaner and wire brush work amazing took off so much gunk, I got all my parts for free they messed up and long story short 4 days later they refunded me 179 they charged me twice and gave me back the money for both so happy about free parts=))

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor

Come on Steve my motor blew in Saturday pulled it Sunday built and dropped the motor in Monday and had a running driving car Tuesday
 
Re: started tear down of the 01 motor

98 was the 25th year of the Regal. One of the cars I had was a 25th. And..it had the same color/look of that one. Often it was supposed to get the black trim like that one.

Pffft Dan you were slow. I pulled the motor Friday and was waiting on a fuel rail until Sat to have it running. Could have driven it on Friday afternoon.

Where's ScottyDoggs.. he's got a funny story about working fast on cars.
