*sigh*, the time has come for me to start my 2.4 swap..
i have made a parts list: (if i miss anthing, please tell me)
-SRT-4 Timing Belt Tensioner- $6.35 -Underdrive pulley- ~ $74.60 -Late model Stratus alloy oil pan- On block -Stratus 2g pump- on block -95-02 Block- $100.00 -SRT-4 Enigine mount- $31.00 -1g Eclipse engine mount(drivers side)- $10.00 -SRT-4 waterpump- $77.00
Thats like around 300 in parts (note i already have injectors)
i pretty much think i have all the procedures down: (if i miss anything, please tell me)(my source is alain's write up)
-Remove Balancer Shafts, and patch the hole by tap threading and a bolt with red locktite -Cut and weld oil pan -Cut the DSM mount to keep the donut only, and use a piece of flat metal to weld a mount -Turn the pistons 180 degrees, large slope should face the echaust side -turn the cam sensor 90 degrees -rewire injectors -rewire coil pack, put 1 on 3 and 3 on 1
I think i have got all the information down packed, so next week im gonna go to the jusk yard and pull a block...
Oh, and the only thing i don't really know is if there was a difference in an 02 stratus block than a 95-99 block, cause i saw a 02 stratus at the junkyard and i would like to get that block since it's newer...but i dont know if i would run into any other problems....
if there's any suggestions that you could offer, it would be greatly appreiciated...thanks
