Engine replacement

[sperold]

So it would need piston and rings assuming the scoring could be honed out

You can sleeve the cylinders if the hone does not remove the grooves, it is worth getting some quotes as it is not prohibitive financially.

The replacement engine is almost ready to drop in.

You got the whole thing? Cool. Now you can rebuild the one you have, take a look at the rotating parts and clean/work the heads and valves. I've seen a combustion chamber insert on a livernois webpage somewhere so there is some stuff out there to consider.

Getting ready to install the replacement engine.

You have skills. I could never attempt that. Of course, I don't an engine hoist either

It's not bad with a lift.

Hi folks, my replacement engine showed up and it looks like it's a 2014 if I'm correct by the sticker. My car is a 2011. Can anyone tell me if this will work or if I'll have to change a bunch of the sensor's.

Replacement complete, runs great. In the lessons learned category I would recommend all new turbo seals for oil and coolant lines. I had the rear leaking and it was tough to replace in car. I will also drop the entire strut next time and put the subframe on jack stands with wheel dolly's. Was tough getting it aligned when lowering the car .

All in all these cars are pretty easy to work on. For my next one I think I will rebuild the engine instead of a used engine.

Glad it wasn't such a PITA.

Its always a PITA working within the confines of the engine bay on FWD cars lol. I remember when I saw the SHO 3.2 on a stand, thinking how small it actually was compared to the fear factor of working on it.

I spoke too soon, I have a coolant leak under the Intake. I didnt replace the crossover tube oring after I moved it around some and its leaking. I also reused the intake o rings and I suppose the rear coolant passage could also be the cause.
