Engine out service - Which parts to get?

Dear Ferraristi,

First....

Welcome to the board and a big "FREEZE....MIAMI VICE! " out to you...

Second...

whow...that's a really loaded question.

When was the last time the hoses were changed? I think you should review alot of the "engine out " threads here and take notes.

You'll be surprised how much "while you're in there" adds up....time and cost.


Generic maintenance kits are sold by the sponsor here Ricambi ...but usually you'll need to go far beyond that.

Freeze....Miami Vice !

 

You only need the valve cover gasket kit if you are doing the valve clearances....

Cam belt tensioner bearings from Hill engineering (no others).
2 small oil hose return from head, they always need replacing if you want a clean motor
Brake fluid as you will need to bleed the clutch after re-install
I suggest that you buy some "Dowty" washers (seals) for the oil drains. They are MUCH MUCH better than copper washers, the plug hardly needs to be tight at all to get a good leak free seal.
CV grease for the drive shafts.
You will need a couple of VERY BIG spanners to remove the oil feed / return pipes.
Some fish tank air hose to fit to the end of the throttle cable BEFORE you remove it

If I can think of anything else I will post up later.

This is my (work in progress) website of my engine removal last year.

Hope this helps.

2 thermostats, 2 short sections of fuel line between pumps and tanks. Perhaps o2 sensors (mine were bad). I would also consider suspension bushings after 22 years. Replace the o rings on all injectors. Replace the 2 large dia rubber pipes between the underside of the intake plenum and fuel injection unit. If it did not run well, perhaps the plug extenders. My #11 was bad.
