ClassySoob Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 when overhauling an Ea82, should it be taken to a machine shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) One option is to read through the steps in a repair manual and see if you are up to it. The factory service manual is available from a number of sources. Edited September 27, 2016 by Crazyeights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 How many miles? What level are you going to [just headgaskets, or all the way to main bearings?] What's the history - abuse, overtemp, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 what do you mean by overhaul? complete bottom end rebuilt or just a headgasket job? in general yes resurface the heads every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassySoob Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 The engine has just over 200k, and has been pretty well maintained through out its life. (I am the second owner,o got it when it had 197k on it.) I plan to do the whole nine down to main bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
