Re: Rehab of the 1992 Blk on Blk
 

OK...so the burn wasn't sooo small....:censored:

entire area you see is brittle to paper-strong...

I am going to SMC the entire side and sand/paint to perfection...OR cut the whole thing and replace it with a donor piece,

melted **** everywhere, water in the floorboards, ect. standard F%ked up car..

I am dyna-matting the whole interior(Like the white car)

This car WILL dominate!!!...just going to take a few months..and about 200 hrs of work..

Update!

After moving the Z06 and the white car to the new shop, I have room to get the 92' on the lift.

Heres the future shop space of Evolution Motorsport Engineering!(half of it anyway-5000 Sq Ft)

First got the tranny out in a few hours,

The speedo-gear was melted and leaking..this MAY have led to the burn, due to the destruction(most of it anyway) was right next to and above.

After the tranny, came the engine removal...so far a decent amount of fiberglass damage, burned wires, a **** ton of halon fire retardant and a cracked cam cover. NOT TOO BAD :dancing

***

Going to pull the cam covers, and press on with a "soft rebuild for now,..and also today/tomorrow I will cut out the bad fiberglass and prepare to repair the tunnel, I will then dyna-mat the interior and rubberize/road proof-FIRE proof the underside.

Re: Rehab of the 1992 Blk on Blk
 

Lookin good :cheers: My guess is the cam cover can be repaired?

Re: Rehab of the 1992 Blk on Blk
 

yeah, I just have to get it off!....gonna have to drill out 5 cam cover bolts just to start!..:mad::censored:

Re: Rehab of the 1992 Blk on Blk
 

Wow that looks like a heck of a project! Cleaning all that mess alone is gonna take some hours. Is the trans good still or did the fire kill it? And I would think that cam cover could be TIG welded, and since you were going to refinish anyway it should look like it never even happened..

Re: Rehab of the 1992 Blk on Blk
 

So......I am not sure what to make of the cam cover.....:confused:

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...psnstlmirp.jpg

What do you do when you dont have cam end rubbers??.....Make your own out of aluminum!!!

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...psbxwkefhe.jpg

Engine is coming along:

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps9mq4s9r6.jpg

Soooo... I dont think the secondaries were used for a while:...Those are mountains of carbon in the heads......

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...pssalxp5wj.jpg


Now starting to look and plan the fiberglass repair....

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...psm3fwja2e.jpg


****Also....the Broken cam cover was NOT the original....the PO installed the cam cover and along with the crack/hack job on the cam cover, the rear-outboard cam journal was galled and damaged from the pressure applied from using the WRONG cam cover.!

Due to this I will NOT be using these heads on this engine during the big-cube "Dragon Heart" build

Re: Rehab of the 1992 Blk on Blk
 

Update: Once I got the engine out, I was faced with the standard "frosting" of oil and grime. Note: seems like the oil was from the corner of the passenger cam cover that the PO had mistakenly got electric tape in between the cover and the head...

All of the gaskets were OE, and after a "BIT" of cleaning...

OH Yeah,....I was asked why it wouldnt start........

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...psfe6ptpzr.jpg

...After MORE cleaning...

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...psfrpg194c.jpg


After a bit...(ok alot of thought...I have decided with the much needed help of Phil and Pete to build the 92' into the big cube engine. We will be using the 4" components from phil and after a bit of discussion we will either build the 368 or a bigger displacement.
