After 4 months, I’ve finally started the teardown on the ‘13 5.7 Hemi that I got. So far it’s just the passenger-side head that’s been pulled off.
The closeup shot is of the #2 cylinder.
And now the Bellhousing and flywheel have arrived.
The flywheel is MP P5153593.
For now, the project is going to be in a holding pattern because my pickup’s transmission has decided it wants to join the rebuilding party so I need to take care of that first. :/
The die has been cast.
Bought an AR5/MA5 5-speed.
Now to get a compatible bellhousing.
Going to start the disassembly of the Hemi this weekend. Hopefully it’ll look decent inside.
EDIT: well, I got lucky and found a bellhousing off of an '02 Liberty that'll bolt onto this thing. Should be...
It's going to depend on if I go with the 8hp70/Torqueflite 8 or not. I've been kicking the idea around a bit here and there.
just wish I could tie the feature in to a Cruise Control switch.
checking the cam/lifters has been pretty high on the priority list when I started looking at used Hemis. Mine's out of a '13 Chrysler 300 that got rear-ended.
The guy was trying to sell me the rest of the front suspension to go with it :D
I’m just hoping that it’s as good as what I keep hearing about.
Going to pull the heads off tomorrow to see how the pistons look….or I might use that el cheap scope I got off of Amazon and just pull a plug and stick the scope in it instead.
If the weather’s good the 318/904 is getting pulled...
I’ve honestly never thought about this before:
Why are some flywheels specified with a Driver-Side or Passenger-Side starter?
I thought as long as the teeth match up to the ring gear then it shouldn’t really matter.
Here’s a screenshot of what brought my question on:
I have to admit, It's beginning to get annoying that the way everything is solved (running, etc) by adding brand-new parts from sponsors they just happen to know.
