Hi all!,
Just wanted to say thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) for helping me find the courage to tackle car work (with help from my wife of course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) ) We followed the directions from Pelican but I don't know where they get 2 hours. Took us 5 1/2. Though we did run into rusted bolts here and there. The reason we dropped the engine is to try and determine the cause of an oil leak. If it looks even remotely expensive to fix then we are going to take this opportunity to do a full rustoectomy and 3.2 liter engine conversion. In a way, I'm secretly hoping that the engine leak has terminal causes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Attached image(s)

No kidding about being big once they're out. I had thought that once the engine was out I'd just pick it up and chuck it in the basement. The only problem is the basement door is only 26" wide and the engine/tranny is a bit heavier than I thought. Looks like I'm doing some more outdoor disassembly before I bring the stuff inside.
I guess I could always widen the basement door too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) |
