I will soon be putting a new engine in the 4th gen and wanted to see what other parts should I replace while I am at it?

So far I haev this on the list.

- Engine
- Axles
- Clutch
- Flywheel
- Water Pump
- Alternator
- Belts
- Clutch Master Cylinder
- Plugs
- New Gaskets
- Injectors
- Motor Mounts
- Lightened Crank Pulley
- Knock Sensor
- O2 Sensors
- EGR Sensors
- Cam/Crank Sensors
- Clean the intake manifold
- Rear main seal
- Thermostat

If any of you PROs think there is something that I left, please add it to the thread since I am trying to get everything together before I start the swap.

Thanks

Anything else that's broken.

Why are you doing such a massive rebuild, anyway?

 

Nothing is really broken but car has 120K miles so time to replace stuff anyways.

 

When you do the swap, go ahead and buy new gaskets for just about everything.You might not want to trust the ones on the motor that hasnt been run for a while.
You might also want to consider either swapping over your current injectors or having the ones in the motor thats about to be installed tested.
This is something I wished I wouldeve done during my swap.

 

Ossamah, sorry for the delay. Brackets went out today.

 

This is going to do alot of damage to your bank account.

 

120k????? thats not to much i dont think

 

motormounts

 

I've got about 203k right now and with the exception of belts and plugs (maintainance items) everything is original. That and I dont have a clutch, I have an auto....but the point is that this stuff doesn't normally break.

Again, why are you doing a massve rebuild? Just curious.

 

Might want to get a lightened crank pully(not underdrive)

 

Wow a nice massive rebuild, after a swap and repairs like that you'll have a like new max.

I'm assuming you got your lift installed and is working?

 

120 aint nothing...if there isnt anything wrong with the motor, why bother ??

Don't wait, at about 230,000 I replaced alternator, tranny, waterpump, compressor - anything else that could go wrong, did. Im at 245,000 now.

 

Oh yeah, I didn't replace for fun- it's because they all went out, lol.

 

116 here, most ive had to replace was the fuel injectors, dont know why, but about a year back they went 2 by 2...odd

 

Should have wrote earlier, I have a timing chain cover that is bad on the current motor so the best bet is to replace it and then take care of the chain cover while its off. I am not worried about the $$ factor since most of the stuff is already sitting in my garage.

Jeff - Thanks!!!

I definitely forgot motor mounts, urethane or regular? Keep adding it folks. Thanks!

 

How about the following...

-knock sensor
O2 sensors
EGRs
Cam/Crank sensors

Might as well clean the intake manifold.

 

I'm doing a swap in a 97 arctic white also. 125k here. ive got my MEVI, need the ecu, waiting on the place racing motor mounts, and i have a couple other goodies. I have a motor with 4,100 miles on it so its like new. I'm using this thread too so keep giving advice...thanks

 

where did you order your engine mounts from?

EDIT: I have updated the list but if someone thinks I am missing something please post.

 

In addition to what everyone else has added, I'd say the thermostat and maybe the rear main seal. Have fun.
