Got it back up and running. Still runs smooth on idle. Time for a test drive, and I’ll take a look at the coolant and oil soon once it cools a bit. https://youtube.com/shorts/LjQ9VD9C4bg?si=XUBUAugJsKLk9R62 looking back, I think that oil that was on the lower oil pan was coming from a leaking...

It sure seems like it when looking at the markings outside. Although I haven't opened the engines to look at all the bits inside.

Shanhe Power on Aliexpress..just send them over your VIN and ask what engine works

For those of you who may have to do an oil cooler/gasket replacement (and are not wanting to mess with the water pump or remove the IM), the best advice I can give you is to do it by removing the alternator and AC compressor like in the video below. HOWEVER to save yourself the headache of...

I’ll be finding out today or tomorrow as soon as I can get the new stuff installed.. unlikely its a head gasket given the reasons above but I'll update as soon as I get it back up and running its gonna be a pita trying to connect the oil cooler-water pump plastic connector piece..any advice for...

Got the Shanhe Power engine delivered and moved inside today. This one is planned to be torn down and built with all the go fast parts 😀

I’ve ordered a replacement oil cooler w/ new gaskets and also the plastic water pump-oil cooler connector.. When I first started the engine, I disconnected fuel and spark, and cranked the engine over several times to get oil flowing. Besides that I didn’t do any pre filling ~

Quick update: Yesterday the engine threw a warning for low coolant out of nowhere on my way to re fuel, so I stopped and checked out the reservoir and sure enough I noticed a few small milky brown globs. Topped her off, and started right up completely fine as usual, without any noticeable smoke...

Idk man I’ve read differently. But I don’t mind replacing them for peace of mind as they’re cheap ~

Hard to see with the intake box in the way, but it looks to be there. Everything that was on the old engine was swapped over to the new one.. I can take a closer look with the intake box removed later ~

I never bothered with the issue because I live in south Texas and in a county where emission checks are not required lol. But I’d have to double check on the SAI thing. Can you show me a picture of where you’re looking at on the head? I’m pretty sure my car has it, as I can hear the thing on...

So I’m not sure how exactly my axle went, however I lost two of the three plates/washers and their associated bolts when the axle lost connection to the transmission (I think the inner axle bolts backed out because I had re used them when I assembled everything together). There was some...

Anyone ever replaced the driver’s side axle without these ‘plates’ and not run into any issues down the line? My axle went and I replaced it with the AutoZone special which came with 6 new inner axle bolts and 1 new outer bolt..but didn’t come with those 3 plate things. I have some ordered...

I’d start with sending them your VIN and they’ll check for you

Highly doubt I’ll get anything in return but I wonder what they’ll say lol. I bought an engine from Zhongi Power which I am running in my car now. I bought another from Shanhe to build ~ That should work then man. Pull the trigger, get your car back up and running 💪
