Daniel's Rookie DIY FTO Build!

[Daniel2019]

Alright so I figured out how to bolt it onto the engine stand. Its not on there yet, im going to take the flywheel out first so I dont have to take it off again when I wanna tamper (probably break) the flywheel. Do I need to remove the whole crankshaft or will the flywheel come straight out?

[Sahin]

Remove the crankshaft? Lol

[Daniel2019]

Nevermind. Im an idiot.

youre better then me, if you popped an engine infront of me, i can only tell you a few things about it rofl, alternator.. gasket cover.. fan/alt belts.. intake manifold and the gear box haha

Ok so basically this little bastard is stopping me getting the sump off. Because there is not enough gap between the lip and the sump itself, neither a socket nor a spanner will fit in.. any suggestions on how to get it off?

[Sahin]

Long nose pliers lol or bend the lip

Its sealed on too tight for pliers, and even if I bend the lip theres still no room on the other side, Im in a bit of a pickle

Can you tap a socket on with a hammer.
All else fails you could cut a slit in the top of it with an angle grinder/hacksaw or hit in a slot with a cold chisel and use a flat screwdriver.

Actually, vicegrips!

Good idea, sahin!

[Sahin]

Surely you can get a socket extension on there...

No, neither of my socket sets will fit. Its because on the other side the sump is too close.

[PHIL069]

Open end spanner?
Oxy torch?

[Sahin]

Mouth?

[Daniel2019]

The bolt is now sheared and so is one of my sockets.. Basically, c**nts fucked.. and its only day one!

or
Drill a hole down the centre and use an easy out

Just grind down your 10mm socket on a bench grinder. Make it fit.

What are you taking the sump off for yet anyway?

Get it on a stand first. Then you can swing it upside down, so much easier to work on.

Im trying to get the flywheel out so I dont have to take it off the stand when I want to screw around with it. The sump is bolted to the bottom of the flywheel, or am I getting mixed up? Looks to me like it is..

Running total spent:

Engine - $200
KFC Run on way to pick up engine - $30
Degreaser (Very much needed) - $2
Blood - 5ml

Flywheel is not connected to the sump mate. Think about it, the flywheel spins...
