Job # 2149 (RW) - 3.8 E Type
Full engine rebuild


 Update report - February 2, 2016
I am pleased to report that we have now completed this engine rebuild.

































This engine was rebuilt about 14 years ago but never installed or run. Unfortunately, the basement in which it had been stored was flooded in recent storms, and much of the rebuild is having to be re-done.



Engine had been submerged and suffered
extensive internal damage












Cylinder head being disassembled










Pistons and rings are not salvageable
New ARP main bolts installed prior to align hone










Crankshaft required straightening
Honing new valve guides for desired stem to
guide clearance










Honing tappet guides to accept oversized tappets
Machining out old seats










New CJ seats installed
Machining the new 5 angled valve job










Surfacing gasket flanges on the end mill
Cylinder head machine work now completed










Head on the assembly bench
Cylinder head now good as new once more!
