The Steps On Rebuilding Your Engine

tightened, it's time to add the new oil. Unscrew the oil cap on top of the engine and with the

First, you need to remove the oil fill cap under the hood so the oil will flow out freely. Be sure that you have a container for the used oil later; take it to recycle centers which are usually located around town. Remember that it is now illegal to dump oil anywhere. Next find the drain plug, which will be located on the bottom of the engine block. It is the only plug located usually in the middle of a black pan in the front of the vehicle. Be careful that you have the right plug because some transmissions are also equipped with a drain plug. Once the plug has been located, find the right size socket or wrench to fit it, and be careful not to round of the head of the drain plug when you are removing it. Then let the oil drain in to your container. When the pan has drained replace the plug, but do not over-tighten it because you can strip the treads out of pan. Next, you need to find the oil filter, which should be located on either side of the engine block. Then take the oil filter wrench and put it around the filter and remove the old filter. Then take your new filter and take a little

i. Step 1: Locate the oil filler cap on top of the engine. Remove it.

My experiences to working on cars had its difficult times. Though I realized that fixing a problem results in that it starts and runs again. Working on an vehicle I learned that not everything you plan on doing will go the way you want it to. Fixing the water pump, I saw that I needed to be patient because putting the engine back together had took away a lot of time from me. Not only it requires patient, I had cut myself with a fan pushing it in although I could have avoided that if I came to the situation from a different

Therefore, you will raise the jack so that it almost touches the car. Once the jack is raised enough to just touch the car; position the jack so that it is not tilted; furthermore, make sure the jack is 6 – 12 inches behind the front or rear of the tire. When you are sure the jack is in position correctly; proceed by raising the jack, so that the car will rise off the ground. Remember you need to fit a fully inflated tire in place of the flat; therefore, make sure you jack the car up enough to get a fully inflated tire under there. Once you have the car off the ground; go ahead and remove the lug nuts with your hand. Now, grasp the wheel at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock and pull the wheel straight off. Place the flat tire in the trunk; otherwise, it will be in the way while you are working. You will then, pick up the spare tire and line up the holes with the threaded shafts; then slide the spare tire onto the threaded shafts. Next, you will spin the lug nuts on by hand; indeed, you have to turn the lug nuts clockwise to tighten them.

I can remember the days when my grandpa would say, ‘’ Leave that car alone. It’s well past time your bed time and you need to come inside.’’ but I was never satisfied with my car until it was spotless inside and out and I had checked everything in the engine. As far as what I know right now about automobiles is how the Internal and External engine operates. I don’t know how to repair any problem with in the engine but can do simple things like and oil change. I want to learn more detail on how to build almost any engine and car from the ground up. I fill that my interest for knowledge on how to build car could never be satisfied but the more I learn the better. First I searched for information on

once all the water is out is to replace the spark plug and the air filter. Pull

Begin by gathering the necessary tools and supplies. For tools, you’ll need: a metric or standard socket set and wrench (depends on the make of your vehicle), jack and jack stands, oil

This engine found its way into a lot of cars. You can find them in an entry-level Pontiac LeMans or a prestigious GTO Judge. You'll also find them in family cars like the Bonneville and Catalina station wagons. With the supply far exceeding the demand these engines can be picked up cheap. And parts are still readily available for rebuilding.

i. Note that this has to be done quickly, but not too quickly otherwise the car

The reconstructing of the car is important because it will let you know if the oil change was done successfully. Checking the new oil level is crucial to determining if the oil change was done right or not. Start the car and let it run for five minutes, but make sure the engine oil cap is back on so oil does not spew everywhere. When the car is turned off, use the oil dipstick, which is in the engine bay, to check the oil level. If the stick reads that the level is good, the oil

5.     Look under the car to find your oil reservoir, use the socket wrench to remove the nut. Before you do this, you should have an oil pan ready to keep the dirty oil. After you unscrew the nut, you should see a stream of motor oil draining out of the oil tank. Allow this process to occur for 5-10 minutes and make sure the oil is going into the oil pan. This is the most annoying part of the entire procedure because sometimes things can get messy. Also look for the oil filter and twist in open. We are going to replace it with a new one in our next step.

A big complaint of many do-it-yourselfers is that the author or mechanic replicating the procedure has the nicest tools, and shop to work out of. This is not true of the articles I saw. The authors of the articles I researched made it a point to use readily made available equipment. An example of this is, using the vehicles jack that it came with instead of a floor jack. There are many links to other articles I found just as informative. The one that sticks to mind is from the magazine “Popular Mechanics”, titled the “The Saturday Mechanic”. The biggest advantage to this site is that there is also a link specifically used so viewers of the site can link informative sites too 10W40, and another used for people to post stories and experiences with their cars. Most of the information here is from hundreds of sources on the Web. Also useful is the search engine on the top left corner. I think of this site as a directory to automotive information.

Building a car is no simple task, as shown in this video of how a Ford Mustang is made from start to finish. The process of assembling a car is one that requires a large amount of both human and material resources. This video shows every subassembly, bolt, and piece of metal that is used in creating the resulting product, a Ford Mustang. Even though one part or one

We've all seen them before, the mysterious chunks of metal under the hoods of our cars. They start when we turn the key and take us where we want to go. But how does an engine work? Internal combustion engines are a very important part of everyday life. We use them in our cars, trucks, airplanes. boats, snowmachines, 4 wheelers, and heavy machinery. These pages will help familiarize you with the basic concepts of how an engine works, an understanding of engine output, and some information on how forced induction or "boost" increases power output.
