full engine restore

[calvin1.8t]

how do i restore my engine without buying new parts to almost new running condition. ill buy new parts but not like expensive ass one just ones under 50 bucks.

[Spykce]

You don't?

I rebuilt ONLY the head on my girlfriend's cabriolet and it was around $300 to do it right.

Is there a reason you want to? Anything wrong in particular? Regular and preventative maintenance are the best thing to do.

[calvin1.8t]

yea just maintenance. it has 184k on it and i wanna keep it for another 184k.

[AudiA4_20T]

Calvin, can you seriously search before you keep throwing up posts man?

Not to be a dick but youve had like 5 threads in the past 2 days

[dmott11]

^ HaHa x2
theres nothing wrong with asking questions, but do a search first cuz chances are its already been asked and Answered.

You should just keep up with all the preventative maintenance and dont beat it up and i bet youll get another 184k

BUT if your heart is set on a restore then check out rebuild threads.

[317ssayzarc]

x3, fuckin search bro... Theres alotta good shit you can find

[Russell2686]

you cant restore your car to new your car is a POS from drifting dirt roads. Plenty of 50$ parts on ebay let us know how that works out for you

[A4Rob]

i'll say it again. N00b of the week.


Put that in your sig Calvin :)

[audiness]

so you want to rebuild your engine for $50 ? not sure what is going on in here

[kovalevandrew]

$50...? That might get you a service manual...

[isleepsober]

i think he just wants to do a stock internal rebuild. if i am understanding right. like he doesnt want to build his engine he just wants to rebuild it.. i think

if not im trying to be nice and help a noob out. since some consider me one too.

[kovalevandrew]

If it's running ok now.. Don't mess with it.

Some high mileage there though, perhaps give it a nice desludge, plenty about that on the forums. Check all your hoses and get rid of the ones that look like they're going bad before they do. Have a look at all the check valves and replace them, or just remove the entire pcv system like i did, you won't be sorry.

Unless you've broken something, rebuilding an engine is not something you should try, at least not without some prior experince in the matter.

Like my previous comment said, get yourself a service book, and take it from there. If you want to keep the car for a very long time, that would be your best buy right now.

[kovalevandrew]

Yeah, unless you live in South Africa...
You have no idea what a missio it is to get OEM parts from the dealerships, let alone aftermarket stuff.

''engine rebuild step by step.''
#1) open door, reach down, and be sure to pull the ''hood release leaver'' (see.pg 26), then pull pin from front of grill and pull up. you have now opened the hood.

Stage 1 - k & N intake
Stage 2 - Water Wetter

Gracias Sir!

[A4Rob]

Or he could stop making threads and just look in the projects section. There are probably 5 engine builds going on ..... damn this needs to end

[Stampy]

Menards has seafoam on sale for $5.27. $50 is roughly enough for 9.5 cans of seafoam. Never ending supply of that shit would clean you motor up. Probably create some new oil pressure release points too(leaks).

HAHAHAHA!! Clint, Im gonna call u on Sunday, if that's fine lol.

[Jibberific]

Take the $50 down to some mechanic and have them change your oil for you

For fifty bucks it's about the smartest thing you can do to keep your car running for a long time

[calvin1.8t]

im gonna change the oil this weekend. i just wanted to knwo if i should put that STP injector cleanor and stuff like that.

[AudiA4_20T]

do a seafoam treatment

[GramCracker]

$50...? That might get you a service manual...

Or half the Bently manual.

[Stampy]

if your going to change the oil, you should really do some seafoam. search.......seafoam

[TverRus69]

i gotta give it you tho... somehow you manage get a lots of people to reply. On a more serious note how do you expect your car to last another 184k while going off roading in it?

[Jibberific]

LOL
