When i rebuilt my 5.2 318 in my 95 grand cherokee ZJ orvis i had tons of build up in the engine like that. It took a whole day to prep EVERYTHING after the tear down. 😂
Yeah we were figuring the connecting rods would need replaced, they were a real struggle to get apart and back together once removed from the crank. We kinda think the cam bearing that came out of the block was seized to the cam, it was a tight press fit still, we pried it out of the block. The other bearings that stayed in the block got knocked out with an aluminum seal press tool. so hopefully the block will be ok.
Remove the bolt that holds the ss fuel in the spider assembly and the top 1/2 comes off you want to split them so you can clean the carbin out trust me the plenum is full of carbin
I'm keeping tabs on your progress thanks for all your hard work cheers.
That's awesome! We will make sure to keep getting after it!
This is a seriously epic channel 🎉
Thank you so much! We are glad to hear you are enjoying it!
You gotta take the 2 nuts off if the fuel lines. The plastic will then slide off if the injector connector. That is what's holding it up
@eddiereichel9354 Thank you! We had the nuts off but it ended up just being gummed up and stuck. Some light prying and wiggling did the trick

It's not going to be fun lol. kinda wishing we took the intake down to get dipped.
I'd say you're probably gonna need all 6 rods because they probably out of round and possibly a block because of the cam bearing falling out

They got it under control
Thanks for the tips, we definitely need to clean inside of all of that.
Any idea what engine mounts you're planning to use?
We haven't gotten that far yet, but that's a good question. Once we look into the options we will definitely let you know what we decide.
