986 3.2 home engine rebuild

[OldManMo]

next we needed to get the manifolds off but I was dreading this as the bolts were rusted to the point the no longer had a hex head. Totally soaked them in Kroil applying it 2-3 times a day over 2 days and used heat, but snap. snap. snap 4-5 bolts each side snapped.

Manged to get a few more out with a stud extractor but will need to drill and tap out the others.

Time for the heads to come off and see what the bores look like (gulp)

Heads, not too bad on bank 1



and we can now see the pistons and bores and the pistons were caked in burnt oil, grud and ***te








The bores, the ones I could see didnt look to bad at all, no scoring visible and felt smooth to the touch
