2.8 Chevy V6 Teardown - Almost Done

It's been going a little slow on pulling the engine from the S10 Blazer. I finally got some time today and pulled the intake manifold and both heads. This was hard to do today because it was a high of 27 degrees. My fingers are still numb.

Hi All,

I successfully designed and built a working 60 degree V6 Piston Wrist Pin press. It is a compact bench top model that works great. This will same me a lot of time and money over the course of doing multiple engine rebuilds. Take a look and let em know what you think.

The Side Project

The side project is the downfall to almost any project that the DIY's take on. You all know what I am talking about. The side project is the idea that comes up when you are working on something else. It is usually an attempt at a solution to a smaller problem that pops up. A great example of this is the piston pin press that I just built. I needed to removed piston from my connecting rods but wanted to do it myself. I had a bottle jack lying around and gave it a shot. It was a great success. See the posting of it with the video.
