Eagle_Adam Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 starting at the back and working my way forward this time around 1st up - rear breaks and ebrake Somewhow the dust plate/backing plate whatever its called is so badly mangled now that its preventing the ebrake from returning and disengaging to a certian degree.... because of the constant contact of the ebrake the rear drums were all but impossible to get off with a reg hammer so i grabbed a slide hammer and did it my way this is the drivers ride trans cross member bolts this is the passenger notice the pass side doesnt have the cute little white rubber insulators.... and i can move the x member but the bolts are torqued down.

Eagle_Adam Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 other than that the rear end seems in fairly good shape! So im going to fix the backing plate and check the function of the ebrakes and if all goes well then ill only have to bleed the rears and im good to go!! Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 heart transplant anyone? picked up a known running L20b minus the carb and manifolds, this will become the new heart for the goon Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 thats ^^^^ better than the flat line the goon has now :P Also have a peanut head that might go on since the head on the motor has those damn liners in it....... Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 started off by draining the fluids in prep to pull the motor and trans, This vvvv is what came out of the radiator..... Drivelines out, and the rear breaks just need bled before i can sit the ass end back down Carbs off and the manifolds are almost off too 1 Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Lol, damn the hg was bad? I knew it ha a miss but not like that lol Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 has to be a HG, the drip tray i used had been wiped out thoroughly between uses, specifically to see if the HG was bad. The car has sat for a week or so, so that's my guess as to why is separated, last bad HG i pulled was chocolate milk Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Usualy is, id check your front cover verry verry well befor reusing it on another motor. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 will do, but how would there be a leak there? i thought the front cover only had oil passages? Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah I was just going to say the timing cover coolant passages/sealing surfaces (water pump) and check for electrolysis as well. The anti-freeze is too pure of a "green" looking to be a blown HG at a glance , but I dunno not a mechanic :) Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 ....... how did i forget the WP is in the timing cover????? ............. :confused: :blush: As far as im concerned the old motor is garbage and will be given away Quote Link to comment

You may want to swap a square port L16/18 exhaust on as well and keep the intake that's on there. Assume it's L20B? Quote Link to comment
