Looks great! If you do not mind my asking, how much did just the engine rebuild cost?
|
I love how you painted the valve cover, but polished the star. How did you accomplish that?

Wow! Factory fresh. All that great work...well, you need a brand new fan
|
Or paint it :)
|
I will mail you a engine for you to build.Naw I'd say that was a good job.
|
Wow!
Your hard work paid off, it looks fantastic. Congratulations. |
Good work!
Now just to get it in.... |
A really clean engine seems to run better. My wife is always somewhat critical of my cleaning up abilities. I can now show her your pictures and one of my engine bays.
I imagine the challenge of doing it better than you might motivate her to try. You have to know I also believe pigs can fly...:D I regularily bring cars home from the car auctions that have been cleaned and detailed to the point I really do not want to get in them. I almost always hear that it's too bad they cannot do a better job from her. Yet the insides of my average daily driver/construction car are usually a disaster. Hope the engine runs out as well as it looks. |

Looks VERY good, I don't think I've ever seen an OM617 that clean |
That does look really nice. I like your painted valve cover too. Can't wait to hear your report when it fires up for the first time.

Mmmmm...how much
x3 on the final $ tally.
Superb by the way. FNHB PS Thanx for the reference pix. |
Is that a new vacuum pump? That adds another $300 to $400 to the rebuild right there. I would guess there is between $3k and $3.5k in the rebuild. The last one I rebuilt was around $3200 and that was a few years ago. The good thing is that he will have an engine for life if he wants:).
Good job on the rebuild. You'll get a rush when it first starts. There is a chance that the engine assembly lube will make it smoke on initial start up. |
Wow. Simply Wow.
When I get back home and fire up my laptop, one of these pics is gonna become the new desktop background. Yes I am a geek, I know... |
That transmission sure looks dirty.
