ok, since my engine doesnt really like my lately, and I want to part the car out but I'm not in control of my finances right now, I had to speak to "the g0ds".

We all agree, 1g to rebuild this motor and plop in is a no-go.

So, we stuck a bunch of magnets on the oil pan, spun the pump with electric drill and watched oil flow and listened to the drill bog down, spin up, bog down, etc.

Drained oil, poured in 1gal of desiel fuel to flush it. Plugged back up, poured in about 5-6qts of desiel, and spun the pump for a few min. Letting that drain over night.

Then were jacking the motor up, dropping the pan and installing a new oil pump, and propper 3.1 pan. Then dropping in my 93 s10 truck cam that has no upper rpms, but massive low end tq .

Then, if it waxes this cam, its car. Either way, I dont really care. I enjoy driving this car, but I'm tired of dumping cash in this car when its not what I really want. But then I'll be on the major prowel for a vert

 

What about looking for another cheap good condition 3.4?

 

negative. I'm not going thru with it. Finding another 3.4 will cost as much as rebuilding this one.

I've spent 160 today alone on a oil pump, pan gasket, oils, filter, honing tool, and other fluids.

this car really isnt worth it to me anymore.

 

**** man i prolly could have found u a complete rebuild kit for like 400$'s prolly less though
new bearings/seals/gaskets/oil pump/pistion rings/and pistions

 

Ahh, ic ic. I really hope it turns out for you. Let us know how it goes

 

Then I have to pay to have it all installed.



High Volume oil pump in. It flows a high volume of oil onto the ground because forgot to put the new oil filter on.

s10 cam is in, lifters in, timing chain on, hb on, wp on. Its going back together.

 

when I get stateside, I'm getting a vacuum hei dizzy & regular quadrajet. If it doesn't run it's gone. maybe that car is cursed & it followed that engine?

 

dale why not install it urself uve already go the pan off pop the pistions out with the block in the car,and drop the crank if u wanna throw the new mains in the only thing i see u having to pay somone to do is put the new pistions on the rods

 

Pistons on the rods, re-hone the cylinders, clean out the oil system, install the new rings, and compress the rings so the pistons go back in the cyl.

All for a non-convertable car not worth it in my book.

 

u wouldnt have to rehone the cyls though it shoudl be done,u can buy the tools to do it urself cheap summit sells the ring compressor for 15$'s and the hone is liek 25$'s,u can clean out the oil system with compressed air and bottle brushes

 

I'm with dale. To do it yourself, especially if youve never done it before, would make me nervous. Thats why you pay 300-400 to have a machinist do it for you. And since I've heard that the main bearings are basically hand picked, nuh uh, not me. I'd never recommend anyone who doesn't do it for a living to do it yourself.

Good luck man! Sounds like your on the right path to ensure everything is as good as it can be!
