lgranch Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I have obtained a VG30I motor out of an 88 pathy from a fellow forum member. I am in the process of converting it to a VG30E. I know that this is not a difficult task, however I am fixing some problems as I go and I thought that I would post some pics. The engine arrived and would not turn more than 1/4 of a revolution. It was very free in the area that it would turn. Since it was a 1/4 turn vs a 1/2 turn I immediately thought that a rod was broken. I opened the bottom end up. While all the rods were fine, I was not expecting to see a main bearing girdle. This is something racers use to strengthen the motor. OEMs do not put this in. So for those of you who have never seen your Pathy motor opened up for heart surgery here it is. I resized this following 88's direction to 18K. I hope it works right.

lgranch Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 I did something wrong. The expanded picture is no bigger than the one with the post. You can not see the girdle in the pic. Educate me someone on how to do this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
