Good evening everyone! It's finally time to revive citrus 2139! I have been busy lately, but I finally have the time to get to this. I'll be posting about this over the weekend fairly consistently, and I'll update this post with more info later, but as of right now.

TLDR: it has a spun rod bearing and I'm replacing/resealing engine.

Here is the donor car.

Reserved for more stuff/pics.

And it's out! Not had at all to do this... When you have a 2 post lift and all the tools. I commend @CherryBomb for doing it on the ground, I do not possess such strength.

Cleaned the engine off. Before and after pics below.

Citrus is finally on the lift! Gonna pull all front suspension components, rear suspension and all the bits to get it going today.

The Citrus will be going on the lift soon. Some pics to follow. However it's dinner time!

Can't wait to see what kind of juice you squeeze out of it!

Yea I was gonna put it on the lift tonight, but @Zoooms and @EggEnjoyer are tired and wanna call it a night. It's no worries though, I'll get to it tomorrow.

I'll pull the oil pan for you today after I have it out and take some pics. If I could post a video, I would, it sounds awful haha.

Added some pics to the 3rd post.

So the first order of business today is to remove wheels, control arms, front shocks/springs, rotors, brakes, rear shocks and springs, engine and transmission. I'll post throughout the day on progress.

Front suspension is out along with the axles. It really is amazing how easy it is to work on these cars. Gotta love it!

06' S60R with a hybrid K24 pushing about 400awhp. Currently blown up though, went lean .

Finally got the oil pan off @Willie Williford. All 3 look like this. I think #3 failed and spread crap to every other bearing. (Pics are of #3)

 

[Balto]

Making progress!

This thread is getting juicy!

Are you going to replace the axles with the stiffer ones? They make a huge difference.

 

[Balto]

Engine is ready to come out now... Prepare for a follow up pic in a few!

Picture is worth a thousand words .

Also, gonna need these stronger axles to handle LiBCM. (jk, but for real lemme know when the RevD boards are ready, gonna need one for this car).

 

[Balto]

And it's out! Not too difficult. Now to reseal 'new' engine and slap it back in!
