Engine swap time?

 

Hmm, don`t know. But it seems that the guy who wrote the tutorial is a bit slow and removed a few unnecessary things...

This is the live ticker from my shop...

Cleaning the part`s took a lot of time. This is the finished intake:



I couldn`t get any gasket`s here, and didn`t feel like waiting for gaskets to ship them from the USA, so I had to reuse the broken ones. I cleaned them and and applied a quality heavy duty sealant. I`ve used this a lot of times with no problems, but i honestly don`t feel comfortable to use it for this. But i don`t have a choice, so time will tell...



Now back to work, i wan`t to finish this thing today...

 

I doubt that is going to hold up for you, but I wish you luck! Looks like it's going to be a mess later on for sure!

You'll want to order the updated Felpro gaskets with the metal frame, PN MS98002T ASAP! $58.79 from RockAuto.com.

 

Gave up for today, I'm so pissed off right now...

Reinstall was pretty straightforward, until it came to the ac compressor bracket. There are screws underneith the pulley, and i just can't get them seated. I also can't remove the pulley because it needs some large torx and i don't have one...
When i cleaned the shop a part of my upper fan shroud broke...

I feel like setting my car on fire...

 

we all feel like doing that sometimes... its always good to take a breather and then go back to it after you're cooled off

 

Me stupid idiot removed the four powersteering pump bolts. Now I can`t get them in. Looks like i`ll have to remove the pulley tomorrow. Not sure how to do this...

And no, you can`t get powersteering pulley tools around here, because this style pressed pulley`s is not common here...

 

should have gotten a Mercedes! lol...

 

Nä....

 

damn! miss a day of updates, and all hell breaks loose!

sucks about your LIM gaskets failing. sucks even more that it'll take longer than you need, for new gaskets to get to you.


glad you decided to take a break. even though nothing changes the next morning, it's always better to start with a fresh day.

GL with getting her back together.

 

Now it's friday morning, back to work. I think I'll just go and built a pulley tool instead of messing with the screws...

Oh, and it's freaking cold, everything is frozen...
