Ahh theres alot of Hype about engine rebuilds, i think the hardest bits getting it in and out and it looks like you have that in hand.

Just get yourself a rebuild Vid and your laffing, Can\'t go wrong.

If you want a Tip, Whilst the engine is still sort of in the car it may be worth you cracking the main pulley Bolt off (its a bit of a Pig as some people on here will tell you :)) Air guns and Big Compressors are good for this.

Now you\'ve got the best bit!!! Clean and Inspect.

A bit of a Tip... Make sure there is no Cracks in the water seal retaining Groove in the Plates (look very carfully they can be quite small)

just a  question for you all i have been looky enough to come across a non turbo 13b with a hurley rebuild and i paid 100 quid for the whole car and i just cut the engine out as i never needed the bits around it i aslo took the rear window so if anyone needs one i have one. anyway back to the quest what are the difference between the non turbo and turboll 13b could i use some parts as would help if i could
Title: My Ride R.i.p
Post by: Brett on June 16, 2006, 05:31:49 PM
The compression ratio is higher in the N/A lump, also the housing are different, the 13BT housings have a tapped hole to take the knock sensor (13B has no knock sensor) also the water ways are of a different pattern in the 13BT iirc.  Oh yeah, the oiling system is mechanically controlled on the 13B and electronic on the 13BT, the water pumps are different too.

 I think thats covered it :)

 How long before you can get back to working on it then?
