Also I just remembered while turning the crank pulley to do the flex plate bolts that the engine jammed and we had to use a huge breaker bar to make it start spinning again
Is the machine shop going to warranty the work?
Picking up an L26 with 55k on it from a place in NJ Friday, I am moving my top end, cam, and timing chain over to the L26 taking my broken built motor to get repaired/redone. I was thinking of running a 3.3 or 3.5 pulley on this, the Gen 5 has a 3.0 on it now.
I figured I would get the built block done store it in my basement beat up on the L26 for a summer and swap in my new junk next April
sounds like a plan
Sell me your broken short block.
ill sell you everything under the hood including the trans and another crank for $2000 obo if you provide a WORKING trans and come help me install the trans and engine in the car so I can trade it in.
I get more and more annoyed with this car as the hours go by
Is there anything I need to do with this JY engine? can I just bolt all my crap up/in to it? I only want to remove the heads ans nothing else if I can get away with that.
oh and this is an ACTUAL PART of the conversation I had with one of the owners of the machine shop.
MS:"is this the car that was going to have a blower on it?"
Me: "yes"
MS: mmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm, and you didn't beat on it?
Me: "NO."
MS: "and you say you put 300 miles on it in just 4 days?
Me: "YES WHY DOES IT MATTER THE NUMBER OF DAYS vs MILES?!"
MS: "I'll have peter call you tomorrow we need to discuss about this."
Yup sounds like a easy excuse not to redo the work. Shouldn't matter how many miles you put on it in X amount of days as long as you weren't beating on it.
Yes, everything will bolt up to your L26. I just did it in a 99 GT. L26 bottom, Gen III top swap, cam... Easy peasy
Cam will require you to pull the timing cover, if you swap cam.
Sorry to hear about your motor... I debated on getting my L36 rebuilt and I about pooped myself when the machine shop told me how much... LMAO I said just do the heads, I'll make a coffee table for the garage out of the block...
Here is a video I got today
I'm running a ported Gen III with a 3.4 pulley, XP Cam, Headers, 0 KR. Bought my L26 from a local salvage yard, very low mileage, came with the VIN to verify. So far, I'm pleased.
