If it aint broken, it soon will be or fiddle with it to find out why it's not until it is.
Re: Burned 3.2 GTA engine rebuild
Spend 4 hours stripping it down today...
Coils bottom ok, you can melt the rubber on these with cigarette lighter...so looks like that par didn't take much heat
Intake cam a bit smoked through oil refill cap and oil vapor pipe...a bit of cleaning needed
Intake runners....seals looking good
Knock sensors undamaged...cennectors melted
Anyone need a waterpump

What do you make of it?

Re: Burned 3.2 GTA engine rebuild
It would be fantastic if you could get that running again, while keeping cleaning to a minimum. Would be quite a conversation starter when the hood is popped.

Make sure you clean it throughly everywhere there has been extinguisher powder in contact with the engine. It's highly corrosive.

I can't undo the crank pulley nut....counter threaded or normal

Re: Burned 3.2 GTA engine rebuild
One more Q:
I believe that Crank is balanced with flywheel ....BUT:
Is the v6 crank balanced together with aux pulley or they balanced every part for it self ....heard rumors about that but I'm not sure

Externally balanced. So they need to stay together.

Re: Burned 3.2 GTA engine rebuild
Since aux pulley is burned on this engine....Can I use 2.5 V6 24V pulley and have it balanced with 3.2 crankMats wrote:Externally balanced. So they need to stay together.

Re: Burned 3.2 GTA engine rebuild
Probably not, the balancing situation on a longer stroke/heavyer pistons engine is very different.
Can't hurt to try it though.

Yes, he said it was some sort of magnesium in the cam covers etc..
Re: Burned 3.2 GTA engine rebuild
All I can say is wow..
Is the heads/motor warped?
if so they might change size again on warm up so milling would not help. you might need to oven bake to get them even them mill. if the coolant kept the inside temp even then there should be no warping.
also check the cams for warp.
BTW where does the knock mount on a 24V and is there only one?
