Today we blew the old motor up and got started on putting the new motor in my 87 Gxl. We started this morning at 10 and the new motor is sitting in the car almost ready to be started. All we have left to do is put the upper mani on, plug everything in, and figure out what is going to be left of the rats nest of a vacuum rack.
We spent the extra time to clean the engine bay with a purple bottle of grease lightning, that stuff is awesome. I will get some pics and the destruction video up as soon as I can. |

Post is useless without pics |
We started the new motor this afternoon before the rain. It ran for just a few seconds then died bc the fuel pump wont stay on I figure it is a ground that is loose somewhere. I will go get some pictures developed today and see if I can get the video uploaded.

Well today I ended up ditch the whole rats nest. When it did start it ran strong and fired off on the second or third crank.

|
throttle bombs usually work a whole bunch faster with no fluids in the engine.
The bumper starting on fire was about the funniest thing ever. |
Ohh man entertaining stuff, hahaha, flames were nuts.
|
It was alot better in person. The damn exhaust sounded like an airplane was taking off with its afterburners going.
|
Car is running and Ive been dring it around. I can feel it start to build compersion. Im so happy that I can drive my car with out fighting with the sob.
|
is that ure car in the vid
Shits hoT |
LOL.. that was crazy..
|
Yes its my car. We found out the motor didnt even die, it just run out of gas. It ate up a 1/4 tank in 6 mins.
|
Why would you purposely blow up the old engine?
|
It was blowing that white smoke cause it was out of gas? odd, that looked pretty bad to me

Because I could. No it was blowing white smoke bc the motor was ****. It finally quit running bc it was out of gas. Reading comprehension > you. Both of those are pretty *******-ish responses. Rebuilding an engine, even one with a blown coolant seal, isn't all that hard. Believe me, I've done it. Even if you didn't need the engine for yourself, there are plenty of people who do and could have used it before you destroyed it just because you could. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif |
Damn how many times do I have to say it was NOT rebuildable! The motor had blow several oil lines, been overheated two or three times and was screwed. What else do you want? It was my engine, not yours so dont worry about it. I am in the process of taking it apart just to see what actually happened to it. So chill out people, it wasnt yours so dont worry.

Sorry man. I just got the impression that you were blowing up a good ar at least mostly good engine. Guess I should keep my mouth shut until I know all the facts.
|
Its cool man, you would not believe the how many remarks like yours I have gotten, it just got to me. But the engine was not even good for a core.
