Dodge Neon ACR: ACR Neon Engine Assembly Work Aug 18, 2008

We worked on our Neon ACR’s engine last night. In a trade deal for our NYG, we received a bottom end for our new project. It looked okay, but we weren’t so sure about the head. We got it checked out, replaced several valves and had all of the seats reground.

Now that the head is back from the machine shop, we can start putting the engine together. We bolted the head to the block using a FelPro MLS gasket and started working on our oil pan situation. We’re using a Moroso aluminum pan with an Ishihara-Johnson baffle and crank scraper.
