CA18DET Build, Install Thread.

[bradt]

Figured it's about time to start mine. Motor is not in the car yet. Will post pics when that happens. For now, this is when I got both my CA's in the garage and tore 1 down to replace pistons and bearings.Sorry for the large camera pics.

This is the 240.

In that mess resides 2 CA harnesses and 1 KA harness

My old CA about to come apart

Head and oil pan are off, time to drop the pistons.

Inspected the walls of the cylinders and they were immaculate.

New ACL bearings are in

Fast forward....

Timing cover, CAS, and belts on.
