well i started my first engine build and so far im down to a bare block...im waiting on my bearings to get here so i wrote this little write up...
how to strip an engine down to a bare block in 30 steps
i wrote it in like 10 min so i maybe missing something
1) Remove entire engine
2) Remove turbo oil and coolant hardlines and return lines
3) Take off the exhaust manifold nuts and washers making sure you dont lose any
4) Remove entire turbo manifold along with the turbo
5) Take off the alternator along with all of its brackets
6) Take off the fuel rail and its bolts and washers
7) Start unplugging as many of the heater hoses from the intake manifold
8) Remove the upper intake manifold bolts and and 2 nuts on the side
9) Take off the intake manifold
10) Remove all the heater hoses
11) Remove water pump
12) Take off the motor mounts if you want
13) take off the valve cover
14) Remove timing chain tensioner
15) take off the cam sprocket bolts
16) take off the sprockets, let the chain hang or ziptie a wrench to it
17) remove the cam caps in order the FSM states
18) remove the cams
19) take off the rocker arms
20) remove the shims and rocker arm guides remembering the sides
21) remove head bolts how the FSM states
22) remove the 2 inner extra head bolts and 2 outer
23) remove the head
24) take off the crank pulley
25) Remove the upper and lower oil pans
25) remove the oil pump
26) take off the rear main seal
27) take off the crank girdle
