Let me just start off by saying, the first portion of this thread is going to be repairs from the past, for my own keeping track. I literally plan to give it a new everything, first just keeping it alive and finding another 5s/s54 to rebuild. But as time and money slowly get there, im going to go with a lot of performance spec stuff, if its going to last longer than oem.

First things first, at 150k, the cool cat who previously owned this got some chattery clutch plate like 12k after install, what an amatuer! So I went with an exedy clutch kit to get me on the road. (at 20k on it now with 0 issues, and near 0 wear). Also bought new flywheel, I have my old one which ill add a pic of soon, just needs a resurface, will sell for FREE +shipping if anyone needs





In that second pic, there is what seems to be a ground wire just chillin, anyone know where that goes, been hangin free for a while now lol

I guarantee youre all going to love my ghetto quickfixes, I seriously need a parts 6gc for stupid ****.

Soo yea, my mount bracket actually sheered out of the engine block, and here we are





So time to fire up chevy tracker of shame until work is done here, probably just moved my rebuild forward some weeks. Any ideas for fixing my bracket situation? Cant get a back up bit to get the sheered bolt out quite yet. P.s. thank you perkyshadow for mount, but you were right,my mount was fine the whole time

That mount situation is gnarly, sorry to see that.

Judging by where that ground wire ends, I'd say it goes on top of the transmission.

Haha love the finger to the items. Exactly how I respond when I finally get a hard component off.

Sucks on that mount, no fun there. Think when you were doing the clutch may have stressed it the wrong direction?

Actually yes, i feel thats where i went wrong, i left everything held up by a hoist one night and overnight it lowered and i think actually rested all the weight against my pullies, hanging from just that mount. Im currently further in there,gonna take out front and rear mount bolts,jack/tilt the engine up and over for clearance on the sheered bolt, will take pics and leave details here for anyone else having similar problem


On the right side of pic you can see where this bolt sheered, its at the worst angle to reach honestly

been quite some time now and i havent updated this thread at all. since my last post, ive rebuilt my engine .20 over. fires up, needs just a little more love. anyway, i will post pictures of cool things and captions and stuff.




I figured the best way to start was to remove the motor from the car. so i did that. also im having trouble right now figuring out exactly where the vacuum hose goes from the fuel pressure regulator. anyone? tongue.gif





i cleaned the head with engine degreaser, coca cola, and made real progress with my pressure washer hooked up to the hot water. i gave it all new seals, skipped machine work, seems to be alright.




just learning how to weld here. i made a custom valve spring compressor, works. lost retainer clips before this geniusness.



after having the machine shop clean my block, bored cylinders .20 over. painted, put together all rotating assembly



aaand mostly together now...






sorry about the lack of details. this car will now hopefully be my DD for years, visual mods to come. along with basic maintenance stuff. if you have any questions for me about the rebuild, im always happy to help. i also need some help myself, i have A LOT of left over bolts. my car runs fine and shoots no codes, and im not quite sure how i pulled that off.





more pics and stuff later today, gotta run out the door
