yeah, your right! the guy i bought it off said he went a lonnnnng time without changing the oil and it was pretty low when i got it, (( looked like it had just had some poured in it and was possibly empty.))
but hopefully that will fix the problem... if not i can always drop my old engine in still ![]() -------------------- NOVAKx17

Doesn't a 7A-FE tick normally...from the valves if I remember correctly...I know mine ticks like crazy, but was only really really noticable after adding the ebay header. You're right, from the valves. That means you need a valve adjustment. When I got my Celica it was ticking like crazy. Plus the preload on the load-bearing cam gear was gone so when she idled hot, it sounded like I had a diesel engine in the bay lol. But a cam gear rebuild and a valve adjustment later and she purrs like a kitten. Also, Mike, that looks exactly like the header I just ordered from ebay. Was it the AP1AP2 one? If so, did it ship quickly? You live in PA, so I'm closer to their warehouse in CA.

for sure..... tuesday i have a friend of mine coming up to the garage to get all the measurements from my hatch,
and he's making a custom fiberglass sub box/amp and battery holder for me, then when i re spray my car were painting it the same color as the car so it should look really clean... there will be 2 12"s, one in each rear quater and a 1200 watt amp along the very back and the battery will be against the back too.. pulling out all the interior so we can lay down sound deadener and put in all new carpet and make it alot easier to run all my new wires.. also while i have all the seats out i'm taking off the original seat covers so they'll be ready for vincents when i order them in the near future.. but anyways, hopefully today we get a little further on the engine progress, i'll try and get it in the garage now that my eclipse is finally done... i'll try and post some more pics later on tonight after i get back from the garage.

anyone know if since i have my new header setup if i could just use this catback with a little bit of modification?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COLOR-TIP-9...sQ5fAccessories i don't really see the big deal, a mufflers a muffler isn't it? and it has 2.25" piping which is what the outlet of my headers downpipe is... so i'm thinking it will work correct? -------------------- NOVAKx17

Welllllllllllllll after long anticipation, and procrastination, haha, i finally got around to pulling the engine in my 94 so i
can drop it in while i rebuild the engine from the 97... a couple pictures before starting! ![]() ![]() Engine as it was! ![]() Radiator out! ![]() while i was down on the ground, got the axles pulled! ![]() passenger side ![]() driver side cruise control, alternator, and other misc. things removed/unplugged ![]() fuse box, grounds, and harness unplugged! ![]() more fuel and water hoses disconnected and cut. ![]() rest of the harness and other parts dissassembled! ![]() i would of kept going but i felt like taking a break because i've been up since 8 pm yesterday.. got off work at 7am and started this project finally! Now i'm dead tired and about to pass out.. if i wake up with some daylight left i might go out and continue this a little more.. now that everything is disconected does anyone know if all the more i have to do is hook up the lift to it then get it snug and undo the motor mounts and it should come right out if everything is disconnected right? if anyone can tell me anything that might be helpful in this, let me know, this is my first time ever pulling an engine and its been a pretty fun/decent experience so far! only part i didn't like was getting covered in tons of grease, antifreeze, and automatic trans fluid! haha ![]() This post has been edited by NOVAKx17: Sep 1, 2010 - 12:41 PM -------------------- NOVAKx17

well i started taking off all the acessories so they could be ready to transfer over, but while i was sitting there doing nothing after i got them off, i went paint crazy, so everything would look nice and be good to put back on and i wouldn't have to paint it later! ha
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() hopefully tomorrow after everything is nice and dry i will start putting some of it back on like the starter, valve cover, and intake... thinking of doing a lil port and polishing before i throw it back on, but i'll have to read up on it some first... i'm getting very excited to see a finished product (= -------------------- NOVAKx17

awesome job. always look forward to updates to this thread. I like that you're avoiding painting everything with bright neon colors. Factory look engine parts are the best imo

Factory look engine parts are the best imo Thanks! i always enjoy looking at threads with pictures, so i try and do the best i can.. a couple people on here told me they couldn't believe how good i was doing on this project on my own never having had any experience with this before, but with all the help on here, its like i've been a mechanic for 5 years! haha ![]() but as to the colors, i agree. i'm keeping everything black and silver. the block will be black, along with all the trim, plastics, lids, etc... the valve cover, heat shield, alternator, starter, intake, will all be silver. i'm looking into ordering all new brand new black hoses depending on whit it will cost! =] -------------------- NOVAKx17
