luauboy is on a distinguished road
4.6is rebuild

well i feel fortunate - here are a couple snaps of my block after i cleaned it up in advance of reassembly and final cleaning / painting. Engine had 164k miles on it - and not a single issue with any cylinder. Compression test prior to disassembly had only small variation in #4 and number #8. No scratching at all. Only minimum carbon build up ...

The heads were completely rebuilt w/new bearings, lifters and value stem seals. No issue with the guides and valves. Seats were redone. Cams are in perfect condition and each head only required < .01 mm shave.

All new Vanos and timing gear components including distribution units. (Heard they can wear on the Vanos side). New cam chains and tensioners.

Oil pump in solid working order. No issues w/shrapnel pluging the screen. All new timing chains, adjusters, rails, solenoids etc ...

Re-doing the entire front drive-train (shafts, boots, main drive shaft etc ...)

Transmission was rebuilt a couple years ago - and runs like new.

Can't wait to get her back on the road to see what it must've felt like to drive it off the show-room floor ...

Have to resize the pics ... will upload later ...
