To quote Haynes:
"Installation is the reverse of removal". My car doesn't have an engine. I'm sure someone else can give you actual help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

What type and year engine? What year car? Sideshifter or tailshifter transmission?
We'll need some more details to answer your questions. And of course: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) Plus: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Andy |

Yeah, I did it about a couple weeks ago for the first time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I referred to the tech article on this site in order to drop it off.
There was no help at that time but I'd had a re-installation practice several times out of the car. Observed how the engine move up. Alignment, angle, balance and maybe timing were the key for me. I would definitely get a help next time w/some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Oh, don't forget to replace the engine tin seals if there are gone. I never knew how important they were until I had the new seals in there. Good luck! |
