i have my motor tore down.. you can read my profile to get the back story. i need the torque specs for the head bolts, rod bolts, and camshaft bolts and any other useful tips and tricks... i noticed the screen in my oil pick up tube was pretty clogged and that there was a lot of sludge in the oil pan... is there a specific reason why my engine got this nasty and is there anything i can do to prevent it from happening again? im pretty sure the clogged oil screen is what caused my problem...
it maybe a stupid question, but were u the original owner, and how often did u change ur oil?
lol no sir i am not the original owner... . ive seen dirty motors before but this one was by far the worst. i didnt have it long enough for the sludge to be my fault and the car did not have service records so that could very well be the case but ive had hondas ive never changed the oil in and they didnt get that nasty
those damn koreans
how long have you had it down? You will have to find you a torque wrench that will go to degrees. I will give you the values tomorrow I have them at home but right now at work.Quote:

I know we don't have "good karma" awards on this forum, but I think bandf deserves some recognition for the effort he put into this post.
i completly agree and i will let you know as soon as i start it up...
Thanks people, I really appreciate the kind words....I just try to help out when ever I can, I don't like to just take, I like to give when I can. This whole forum is a vast base of knowledge. If it weren't for all the people in this forum, most of our pockets would have big holes in them right now feeding repair shops money to fix our beloved Aveo's.
ok so i am honing cylinder walls installing new rings bearings oil pump and oil pan if i dont get tired ill put the head on and then my new timing set:) will post pics when i am finished hope for start up and test drive tomorrow evening... ive spent 600 dollars on just my rebuild stuff and if it spins a bearing or something i sure will be up set... i have some extra stuff from the engine if anybody is interested...
lol got tired and i am gonna pass out and hit it hard as soon as i open my eyes... i now have pistons, new rings, bearings, oil pump, and oil pan installed... all those torque and torque sequences are really time consuming... i took pics... lol i defiantly know an aveo inside and out now.
ok so i just ran into a problem that put me at a stand still. i have the motor dressed ready to rock just gotta attach clutch and flywheel.Attachment 8344Attachment 8343
i have never seen a 5 speed that did not have a pilot bushing but i cant find a part number or a clutch kit that comes with one. i have tried napa o'reily ebay and autzone. guess ill call the dealer monday (i was moving right along too)... im a little up set that i just got stopped over a pilot bushing but the hole in the crank almost looks the same size as the shaft so i guess what i am asking is does the aveo have a pilot bushing?... i have more pics ill post later
tell me about that mustang.
its a 65 fastback 98% complete all stock except exhaust..
I don't think the aveo has a pilot bearing, but i have not torn mine apart that far.
is the engine of the input shaft on the transmission tapered and smooth? or does it stay splined to the end of the input shaft?
if it stays splined, it most likely does not take one.
Did you take out the transmission? did you remove a pilot bearing?
i through a rod through the block and the motor i got was out of an automatic that jumped time so it didnt have it anyways but it bent 2 valves so i scrapped the bad block crank head and did not even think to check for the pilot bushing:/.... so i screwed up... but i pulled the motor and tranny out as a unit through the top it took me 3 hours. the front shaft tappers down and it matches what the hole in the crank looks like but id just hate to put it together and waste all this money i spent rebuilding this motor by messing up my crank.
I just read through the service manual, I found a reference to replacing the input shaft bearing on the end of the crankshaft, but no part numbers or anything that will help you beyond the fact that it apparently has one.
i used a micrometer measured the width of the shaft the hole in the crank and went to autozone and matched it myself... i just started it and it does run:) i gotta replace the plastic coolant tube on the back side of the block though.... it runs it runs
congratulations
ok so i did not drive but a mile when i finished it cause the coolant leak... i fixed that today... i drove it and the check engine light came on then started blinking. i put the scanner on it and it had a p0300 (random multiple misfire) a p0302 (misfire cylinder 2) a p0304 (misfire cylinder 4) and a p0340 (camshaft position sensor a circuit malfunction).... i swapped back to the cars original coil and camshaft sensor and all my codes went away... 700 dollars this rebuild cost... money well spent.. i really like the little gas getter:) if you have any questions dont hesitate to message me ill be more than happy to share my opinion...
