Title: 1.3 Samurai Rebuild
Post by: 87Suzi on April 17, 2012, 07:48:14 AM

Well guys I decided about a month ago that it was time to rebuild the tired old 1.3 in my sami just so I can have it for a few more years. I orderd my engine rebuild kit from LowRange which took a week to ship, so I pulled the engine and started tearing it down and cleaning everything, I picked up a few other things while I was waiting on the kit. Here's prettt much where I'm at:

By the way, no engine hoist!

got it pulled apart and this is what my pistons looked like

Looks good, like the painted motor parts. Divn is right, you may be humping that engine now, 20 years  from now you'll wish you at least had a friend help  :laugh:
