Legacy gt putting in new short block myself

[youngtryhard]

Hey guys i decided instead of paying a shop to do the work I wanted to fix the car myself I’m pretty mechanically inclined i have all the tools i believe engine hoist, engine holder, but ive never pulled an engine or rebuilt one.

 

Im getting a new short block oem and im gonna get my heads done and put new valves in and timing belt also new clutch, re do al the air lines, new oil pump. But the problem is i don’t really know what I’m doing for the most part so if anyone wants to walk me through this or help me out during the process that would be great.

What's the reason for the rebuild? If you had any sort of metal in the system I would recommend replacing all oil related parts as well (ie. oil lines, OCVs, oil cooler, oil pan + pickup, AVCS gears, etc).

 

Good luck!
