89 Wagon FWD Teardown/Build

ClintonScottClintonScott Band Wagon
in Rides & Builds- Civic wagons
Hey guys! This is Clinton...I posted in the new section. So this wagon had been sitting dormant for about a year (as you can see) haha! I actually had to ask the cemetery guys by our house for a tractor pull and push to get it into the garage and in the process broke the left rear light lenses :( oh well...it's in the garage haha!!!!

After we got it in, I took off the air box, battery, radiator and hoses, and the valve cover was already off the top.

My early thought was to just pull the engine, because I'm just not sure about the internals (190,000 on the odometer). Hoping there's some seasoned veterans on here who can walk me through some things as I go, and provide some pointers so I don't have to bury myself financially to get it going. I know it's going to need more than just engine work, but since I don't really know much about it when it stopped running, I can't be positive on anything. It did roll, though!

I have pictures to post as well. Thanks guys and hope to hear from you some more as I start this journey haha!

    I hope that valve cover was just loose and not off. Otherwise that engine may be in trouble. Post some pics!

    did itcome in pieces? or did you dismantle it? the wagon looks like a a great find besides the open valve cover.

    The Z6 came disassembled I will have to rebuild it. I will have to yank out the D15 and do some work in the engine bay to clean it up.

    500 is a bit much for a dismantled z6 IMHO. but if all the parts are there, cool.
