I think regasketing an otherwise perfectly running engines is one of my favorite projects. Just did it to one of my lawnmowers this winter and now its all clean and nice and the oil stays inside.

Seat Safety Switch posted:I don't think anyone in the entire world enjoys doing the valve cover gasket on DOHC Subaru engines. Oh no doubt, thats why I take the engine out and do them all. Its just another maintenance item like timing belts or oil changes.

Yea the Subaru harness has big connectors in easy logical places to remove various large systems. They kick rear end. VAG cars are the same way. American cars or GM at least are the opposite, have one big harness and they can lick my rear end as far as Im concerned, gently caress them and I refuse to work on bullshit like that.

If you have a grinder get wire wheels for it. Mine is my favorite thing but warning it will add HOURS to every project. So worth it though. I think it took me like 2 hours to do the oil pan on my outback last time because I had to clean all 20 or whatever bolts that hold it in. Seconding ultrasonic cleaner. I got one off Amazon I think for like 80 bucks and I find reasons to use it, it's magical and great. I put diesel in it, I'll have to try the simple green, see how it does.

Oh my god yes the amount and how far they go into skin is crazy. I can't imagine how bad it would be to take one to the eye. I keep a face shield right next to it.

Ferremit posted:It’s worse when it grabs that little M6 bolt and fires it across the workshop at roughly the velocity of a .22 round never to be seen again I used to work for a NASA contractor that built the life support system for the space suit and that happened to a part I was working on. A tiny impeller that went into the fan/pump/seperator that was probably about the size of an M6. Part at that point was probably worth near 5 thousand bucks at that stage of the build and was never found. It was the guy on the assembly floor that did it, not me, but my job was keeping the trace paperwork for parts and it sucked trying to figure out a way to explain to the government how we lost a part with a lead time of almost a year.

Yea definitely replace the bearings while you have it apart. It'll last another 200k easy with bearings and rings. How's the crank surface on 3? That bearing didn't look great but at least it isn't down to the copper. I built a VR6 using plasticgauge that held together running 23lbs if boost so it'll be fine using it. With new rings just pay close attention to the gap. It's easy to do and super important. If you have or can borrow a bore gauge I'd give those a measure just to make sure there's no ovaling and even wear top to bottom. Should be good with all that crosshatch still there but doesn't hurt to give it a looksee.

You must get a great shaft, a tremendous shaft, the best shaft anyone has ever seen, believe me. I've seen a lot of great shafts in my time but this should be a big beautiful shaft.

Agreed. Using the dingle ball is ok for just a refresh like you are doing. The 2 things Cleetus didn't do that well was just using WD and the cross hatch should have been closer to 45 degrees, his angles were kinda small. Way more lube like engine oil and 45 degree cross hatch will be better.
