Cool

thx, I will be half way at the end of this post. Still a lot of things has to come off.

Pictures that I missed in previous post.
All 4 pistons, just after I removed them, they haven't been cleaned or anything
No. 4 is ath the flywheel side, they are in order, as if you are looking at them from the front of the car to the engine bay.


Brake disc comparison

-----
Damaged oil pump gears and housing

-----
More cleaning
Before

and after

------

Sump from the inside, already somewhat cleaned.

I cleaned engine bay with pressure washer, this is how it looked like the next morning... rusty...

------
This is how I tried to remove the engine

and with the little support from fitness ball I did remove the engine

I removed the engine by moving engine block up and down, side to side and pulling to timing belt side at the same time. After I removed it form the transmission, I just unplugged fitness ball air emmm.. plug so that air can escape and it will slowly deflate... genius idea(at that time)
I could just used the car jack, it would have been easier and faster that way

This is starter or starter motor, this thing is heavy and is attached to gearbox housing, it spins the flywheel so you could get the engine going.

-----

This is air con compressor, located between radiator and engine itself, just under the generator.
I removed this, because air con doesn't work and there is no auxiliary equipment belt attached to it, when I opened it, I saw where the problem was.

If you can notice, top piston is bent in some angle, it should be like that.

this is piston emmm housing with 2 pistons damaged beyond repair

and this makes them compress stuff


6 or 7 of these and I can build my own chaingun

Removing the engine.



I couldn't remove the crankshaft pulley so I left that on with timing belt.
Engine block was sent to nearby engineering the same day for a rebore and oversized pistons.

Gearbox without engine




Ok, this is half way trough my picture archives
few more images and I will be putting engine back together
