Rb26 Engine Removal

[DamageInc]

As you might know , my rb26 has spun a bearing.

i have replacement parts to fix it but my only problem is getting the engine out of the car and doing it myself.

seeing as im really low on cash i was wondering if anyone could lend a helping hand to help me rebuild the motor.

ill happily pay you for your services etc but my main priority is getting my car back on the road as i dont have a daily.

any help will be greatly appreciated !

Don't forget you will need to get the assembly balanced as well. I'd also just the bore a light hone.

FOOLBOOST & Myself are pulling the engine out and pulling it apart and getting everything that is going in the motor put in professionally

Depending on the severity of the mechanical dis-symphony - you'll have bearing material through your turbo bearings too. Make sure you fully clean out your oil coolers etc of any bearing material - it gets everywhere, trust me been there got the t-shirt.

Turbo's will be fine providing you didn't drive it too much once she started knocking.

You will have to replace the oil pump though.

Cheap RB30E bottom end, shove a washer from the rb26 oil pump in to the rb30's std pump to bump up the pressure a little, block the rear oil restricter, 2 low tensioners suitable cam belt, cheap headgasket and it will be fine while you spend some time getting the rb26 built back up.

+ you'll get to experience a little rb30 wrath.

FOOOOLBOOST has done rb30 stuff before so he will probably make the same recommendation.
