Taking apart blown fa20 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Toxicmilk45 · 11-06-2017, 04:18 PM

I am doing this disassembly because the engine blew and I have no plans to rebuild it.
I already have the car running on a 3SGE and I am planning on turning the FA20 into a table.
This is not how I would take apart an engine that I would try to rebuild.

Were you taking it apart for fun or rebuild purpose?

Thanks. I think...
Steel pry bars on aluminum sealing surfaces no bueno.
Not in the market for a shortblock right now.

Entertainment purposes only

Looks like all the money came out with the oil pan.

I knew the engine was already toast but still physically cringed every time that mallet hit that screwdriver.

If it was for rebuild it is just for fun now.

I think his helper has has a little bit too much to smoke. Engine defiantly totaled after that disassembly.

His shirt may have somthing to do with why to blew in the first place?

I think you nailed it.

Assistant appears higher than a kite or dumber than a rock...

"breaker bar"/pipe over swivel headed ratchet...

Bending the tube being used as a pry bar...

Screw driver/mallet seal breaker on machined surface...

Surprise over the cleanliness of a modern engine with under 30K miles...

Design comments on the engineering of the engine by two dudes not qualified to build lawn mower engines...

Impact wrench on the crank pulley bolt followed by "I think its stripped"

I could go on, but why? My 2 cents is that this was a failed pitch for an "Ernest goes to mechanic school" film.

This engine has a hole in the block and I have no plans on rebuilding it. I am only taking this apart to make into a table chill out guys.

That is what I figured but watching the mallet fall still chilled me to the bone.
Make a cool table.
