My Almera 1.4 - total overhaul
- Thread starter SphinxMark
- Start date
Hopelessness did sprite can job, you should try ask him for some pics :lol:
I pulled it off and ripped it open a while back, nice little puddle of oil in it, so it must have done something. I'm going to make something a bit better a bit later on.
Alright...more progress 
Cylinder head off, and with a surprise
I took a pic of the gasket on white background cuz I'm not sure but it seems the cooling lines are clogged, so are they?
Fuked up tapping on spark plug as mentioned before...
Oil sump out
One more thing how to loosen the crankshaft pulley?
Cheers

Sooo, any idea how to loosen the crank pulley? I don't have any info in my manual and would like to do it without any damage to the engine
Cheers.
Cheers.
I'll have a look in the haynes manual a bit later for you mate.
Cheers mate but I already did it
...I put the block on the flywheel so the crank couldn't move...and then I loosened it with a 27 socket and a hammer
Then I found out a nice way to get the fly off, I had the oil sump off so I put a plank in the way of the crank and conrod...so it was locked in one way...and loosened the fly
Might I add that the flywheel is fucking heavy
...gonna get it lightened on a turner, I think I can grind away some from behind the fly.And I managed to chip away some corners from my crank pulley...even with a rubber hammer
...guess I'll need a new one LOL.Alright...new updates 
I decided to do bodywork on my car, I'll leave the engine on the next month.
How the engine looks now
Stripping
Bumpers...
And this is what I got today
Matte red color FTW!!!...hope 5litres will do
I'm about to do my sills, will do pics of before and after...gonna weld a new metal sheet...zinc-ed
If all goes well I hope to do red base coat in the end of this week...

Ye, it's a copy for sure...it's thinner and feels so lighter than my old nissan one
And it's the only one GTi I could get here so it aint that bad.
