I'm going to go ahead anyway, testing new tools and methods I've learned from my first engine project. I want to understand, step by step, the condition of this engine and to see if it's worth rebuilding.
The first step is to completely clean the motor inside out. I'm going to cook the engine block in a caustic solution to get out all organic material, oil residue etc. For this, I need a big tank.
I start out with an empty oil drum, I saw it in a yard driving past a house, stopped by and asked if I can have it. I could have it. It had about six liters of oil in it, I poured it out and let the rest drip overnight.
Before cutting the top open with a angle grinder that makes sparks, it's good to fill this kind of a container with water to prevent fumes from catching fire.
I filled it to within 5cm of the top. Then, used an angle grinder to take the top off.
With the top off, the drum's structural strength is a fraction of what it used to be so it's best not to try and tilt the drum to get the water out. A girlfriend with a bucket is the best approach.
Loving this!!!
ReplyDelete“When I was introduced to Mr. Lee Ben ( A Loan Officer), I was entering the market as a first time home buyer.My needs were a bit different and I had loads of questions, before he sent me my pre-approval letter, he called to speak with me about what it meant and what could change. He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts, he was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward, I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process in a succinct yet thorough fashion. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories about the internet . I recommend A loan officer ben lee contact email: 247officedept@gmail.com & Whatsapp Number :+1-989-394-3740 to anyone looking for a loan in any market.
