Pizza and sodas for all - if you want beer, you'll have to bring your own.
I was originally going to pull the engine and trannny, but since the only work on the engine will be a rear main seal and checking the flywheel, I think the engine can stay in. Anybody got any suggestions for the best way to support the engine at the rear? The work should go fairly fast which means if anyone wants to get their car on the lift it will be open. We'll start about 10:00 AM, but we'll be here for awhile so show up when you can. Don't forget, the 11th is the first day of Daylight Savings Time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) so set your clocks to spring forward on Sat. night. My address is: 2020 NE 40th St., Renton. I'm about .3 mile east of Exit 7 (NE 44th) off I-405, past the McDonalds. Please let me know if you're going to make it so I can plan refreshments accordingly. See you then. |

Tomorrow is going to be 914 weather!
Getting ready for the work. Car on lift, rear wheels are off, tranny fluid drained, CVs not unbolted 'cause I don't have a triple square (thought I did). Here's my solution for supporting the rear of the engine. I'd saved an old serpentine belt from my Explorer which is long enough to go under the engine and wrap around the trailing arms with enough length to double up and secure with vise grips. I think it will work fine.....any opinions? |

I think it will work fine.....any opinions? I have a 5000 lb cargo strap I can bring that you could borrow and we could figure out a way to strap it where it holds tight. My concern would be the vise grip causing the rubber to tear if it shakes and moves while suspended. Also the rubber is not designed to handle that kind of weight and could also stretch where the vise grips are holding it which is now the weakest part of the rubber since it is cut and no longer one piece. |

Bring it along. We'll take a look when you get here. |
