Bucky92 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Connie, will you be weber swapping the new motor as well? Yup...not going to let that sweet dialed in set up I have go to waste now:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Congrats!!!! At least you found the problem. Should be all good now! Far from good actually..have to replace the motor...and then the tranny needs replaced too sometime in the future.. Grrrrr We sent the pics to Tom at AWD.inc and he said ..Nope ..garbage..probably caused by oil starvation..I have a new oil pump on it I need to inspect..and the marks were not there when I originally tore it apart Edited December 30, 2008 by Bucky92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrrr Yeah but at least you know some of the problem now and with a new temp gauge and now that you know the fan will work, you shouldn't have to worry about any more hang ups!! So at least you're making progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Working gauges are that important then... I would invest in some aftermarket auto gauges, like oil pressure and water temp. Good luck with the new motor. I'm liking my EA81 atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky92 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Do you think guys think I should order new valve cover and oil pan gaskets for the new motor.??.I want to swap mine from the old motor over ( slightly better shape) thing is...both motors have a fresh reseal so all gaskets are new.

The Beast I Drive Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Arent valve cover gaskets like 10 bucks for the pair? for that much I would just get new ones, coat them in RTV and let them sit, then install those. And if you cant get them that cheap, I have a a pair for that cheap. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
