My car died on thursday, overheated after 5 min, so after replacing the water pump i found out i had killed the lower intake gasket. took me about 6 hours to replace it along with a new radiator fan and rotors/ pads in the back. First time I've ever torn apart an engine and surprisingly enough i didnt have any extra bolts except for some that went to same random brackets that held up a few wiring harnesses. I'm just happy that I didn't accidentally drop a socket inside my intake lol. Moral of the story is if your determined enough you can fix anything with next to no experience

 

good job

 

nice work man! not a lot of people would just jump right now!!

 

Great job ur brave bro !

 

Good job! Did you get a haynes manual or anything, or did you just remove and label?

These engines aren't TOOOO terrible to tear apart

 

Way to dig in there, saved yourself lots of money for beer and new mods.

 

I'll bet you saved a ton of money, good job man!

 

shoulda done a walk through, what were you thinking?! ha

 

Next time something goes horribly wrong (which im sure will be soon, I haven't given her the attentions he needs lately) I'll be sure to take plenty of pics, right now im jsut glad im able to drive my baby around without the brakes being heard from 3 blocks away and not having to stare at a CE light

 

Good job LIM isn't really a job for an amateur and to do it all in only 6 hours very impressive.
