Dirk Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 For those of you who havn't seen the inside of a boxer engine I thought this would be a bit of fun. Its amazing how simple the engine really is when you get down to the working parts. But as I have learned, its the phenominal acuracy in the way they are put together that is the really hard part. I'm glad I did it though. Even if it is a half arsed job, I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Can't wait to do the next one. Gutted I didn't take pics of the crank shaft and rods etc. I was so excited about putting it all back together I just forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatchsub Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Lookin good. That is one CLEAN engine bay. As for the color, it really reminds me of a color that Chrysler used to call limelight (plymouth divisions name). It def is a standout in that color (your car and any muscle car painted it).

Wish I had never sold it... That car..that color with the 4 speed would bring big bucks. Any of the high-impact colors like that go for crazy money.

Dirk Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 i dont know if it is one, but in the second pic it looks like you have a crack in the cylinder wall... Its just a water mark after washing the block for the hundred time. Looks like I didn't wipe it down properly. I cleaned everything by hand.
