My 3B-AAN 400 HP project

[Pirvu Eugen]

Measuring the valves play!
Here not so much luck..I have to change the guides.

[Pirvu Eugen]

Do you know a good way off cleaning the carbon deposits from the head...not blasting...because i dont have the equipment for this?
Please!
Eugen

[A80Avant]

how about gasoline and a paint brush...and lots of free time??

[Jamo]

Did mine with carb cleaner, came off instantly. Mind you it was only 1k of build up.

[Pirvu Eugen]

Thank You Jamo!
The head had some previous work onit.
I hope is not too bad.

All the best!

Dismantled block.....verry dirty!

another

And the crank.

[Pirvu Eugen]

The guts....
You can see the black oil transformed in a verry thick paste and sand actualy...
Bad oil, bad gas, everithyng is bad here in Romania....
I cant find quality stuff...
Maibe this is the reason for the worn out engine sooo much!
The engine from my car wich has come directly from Germany ....at 320000 km had 0 wear on the cylinders and 0 wear on the crankshaft bearings....
These 2 engines from Romania 1 at 220000km and the other at 160000km...both worn out.
Now i know wy You have so nice cars!

That looks filthy. Good luck cleaning it up.
In what sort of condition was the breather system on that engine?

[Pirvu Eugen]

Dosin't exists the right word for that.....Fu........ed is close....The canal insight the block was stuck with oil residues and the rubbere tubes were gone...
The engine was running ok before....no oil consumtion also! Verry good engines!
Imagine that in that condition the compression was 11.5 bar at ALL cylinders...
Impressive, not?
I will have alot off work to do with that...

[LHD_Kid]

Thought it was time I poked my nose in on this little project...
Looks like you have started finally..... any news on the piston wear yet? Did you source a new block, or get anything done?
I must say, that turbo does look especially nice....
Keep up the good work, but be careful how you fit the crankshaft seals, I have heard they are prone to falling out.....
I will bring you a bucket full of good petrol when I visit, so you will see how it works....

Thanks!
I am verry curious to find out what hapend with that seal.
About the fuel....be verry carefull with romanian streets and high speeds.
I dont whant to see an S2 folow the R8.
Probably, for the remap i have to bring with me some Romaian fuel.... I am sure that Carrera rs from OMV in Romania is a medium one in UK.
Will see!
All the best!
