now that the engine is out, I realized the engine is rebuilt. it has that little warranty stamp that melts if u over heat.
you guys think I can just swap out the crank and install new crank n rod bearings?
or should I just tear down and replace pistons, and rings too?


thats what i did too easier to get teh pin out that way :thumb:

with air tools tho.

#308664 That seems like a long time, I just pulled a motor threw the bottom of a members car in like an 1 hr and half. and he still rocks a/c and P/s. I did mine in less than an hr. The trick is to not remove anything that is not needed like the wiring harness or dizzy or Intake manifold. air hammer the pin out of the shift linkage and then knock it the rest of the way out. Just don't loose it.

The most common thing is that people try to take off more than they need to when you can do that after it out of the car. Makes it a ton easier. same way going back in

Those are both coolant hoses that loop into the intake manifold or the thermostat depends on which way it goes back on I will try to take a pic of the back of one of two z6s that are on engine stands in my garage when I get home in the morning and I can tell you exactly where they go.

#308922 the one I'm talking about is on the left, and it is closest to the water pump. it is just plugged off.

the shorter line goes under the throttle body.
