She smoked like a freight train for a couple minutes but it cleared up to nothing. We'll have to wait and see how it holds up.Last edited by zoom zoom; 03-06-2014, 10:00 PM.2008 Kia Rio- new beater

Originally posted by zoom zoom View PostHaha we did ALL new seals and gaskets except oil pan, head gasket, and oil pump, swapped his cam/rockers intake and exhaust manifolds, and dropped in the fresh engine....in about 10 hours if you dont include our lunch break. Luckily the rock auto order arrived JUST in time today right before the engine came out of the car. I was really hoping it would have come in earlier this week so i could have had it ready to roll but...

Blues engine has a blown head gasket. It had oil in the radiator fluid and oil in the air intakes. Not good. I have learned a lot in one day. Matt, you did a great job and I thank you for all the hard work switching out the engines and for some 12" wheels and parts. I want to thank Gomaz for the help and for letting me buy 4 wheels from you too and matt's friend, who I can't remember his name, from work also for the help!!
Eddie and I drove up to Zooms house. He drove Blue and I drove Shadow, my black Festy I had at the madness last fall. We drove separately incase we couldn't get Blue finished. We got there around 8:50a and was finished around 9p. We (Matt) pulled Blues engine and had to swap parts from it to a B3 engine Matt got from a JY. We put in all new gaskets and seals except for what Matt said.
I'm gonna need Shadows seals and gaskets replaced as well. At least now I know what it involves.
Here are some pics of the work. Not many since we were all so busy and fighting day light.
Blues engine being removed:
Matt (zoom zoom) & Brian (Gomaz) looking over Blues engine. The engine just ran 170 miles to get yanked! lol!
What's left of Blues engine after most everything is switched over.
Blues engine on the left and the B3 JY engine on the left.
The JY engine just about ready for insertion.
I decided on another B3 because I like to keep things stocked how it was and I'm more into cruising than power I guess. My parts car Red I may want to put in a B6 someday!!Last edited by muleskinner; 03-07-2014, 03:45 PM.1993 Ford Festiva L blue 170,000 miles
