Oil Pump and Sensors
Here’s the oil pump and various sensors that came off the lower end of the engine.
Timing Chain
Here’s the timing chain; it has a little play, but I guess that’s to be expected after 175,000 miles.
The Bottom End
Here’s the bottom end of the engine, it’s in great shape considering what it’s been through.
Rebuilt 3100 Engine
A freshly rebuilt engine, since rebuilding the existing one would have cost about $900, and this rebuilt engine ran about $1200. It came with all the gaskets and an oil pump. Some of the sensors can be reused, but some of the really dirty ones probably need replacement. I’d rather use new stuff than risk contamination with dirty parts.
