1976 V12 Engine Rebuild Lots of pictures (My first engine rebuild)
#22
So Ive been away for a very long time. I finally finished the engine. Here are some pictures:
Heads finally off.
The rods had to be cut to get the crankshaft out. The pistons were hammered out with the cylinder sleeves.
Then I took it to the sandblaster/powder coating. Had custom legs and glass supports made. Bought a 24"x40" 3/8" thick glass. Glued the glass on the supports. Added LEDs.
The finished product:

I might get another one and do the wine holder. I still have the heads and the crank shaft from that engine so Im thinking of doing something with them as well.
I have no idea how much I can sell it for. I put a "Make Offer" ad on one of the forums so far all i got was $75 +shipping...but thats on a miata forum so I'm not surprised.

Yea the block was in very bad shape. very dirty and oxidized so I decided powdercoating it an aluminum color will be best. It will look better and wont oxidize and easer to clean. I paid $110 for both. It wasnt the best of job but it wasnt bad. So Im happy with it.

V12 head removal tool
So how did you get those heads off? I'm in a similar position and making a coffee table.
Anyone care to rent the tool? I'm in Cleveland Ohio
