OK, I might have found a motor


Recommended Posts

Found an 86 wagon with ea82 turbo that has a blown head gasket. That is what I started out with in my 89 rx. I put the ea81 in because the turbo kept blowing head gaskets. whew. This one supposedly has a new crank and rods and oil pump

For some help, make sure to use OEM headgaskets on the EA82Ts. Also, there is a sequence on how to torque the headbolts, plus 3 different steps with more torque as well. I was doing the last stage of torquing on my EA82T at 60 pounds instead of 47. I didn't have headgasket issues, I just blew the rings outta one engine (SPFI shortblock) and the oilpump went south on my other engine, resulting in 4 rod knocks and busted piston skirts:rolleyes:
