well it was bent coming off, so you can imagine how fun it is getting it back on... it's been 2 years since I took it off so i have no clue what the order of re-install is. i already had to take the fan housing off to put the oil cooler tin on first...
ive got all the tin "in place" now, but can't seem to get that front piece lined up properly (the one that bridges the transmission. I have the two tabs correct on the top but the sides are weird. should that whole piece sit on TOP of the side tin, or somehow sandwich them? what's the order of the tin? underside tin -> side top pieces -> transmission piece? screws go in from top side of engine? really can't remember any of this... not even sure how the wires get routed anymore... tried to search the forum for detailed pics of engines outside the car, but turned up nothing useful someone help me pleeeeeeaseeee! lol |

cylinder head bottoms and oil cooler piece (you can't assemble your engine entirely without those first) then front fan housing and alternator pieces.. after I usually do the sides the the rear and finish with the 2 rear underneath from top cylinder head air deflectors.. I use a thread chaser when necessary, mayba a little wd-40 to clean with and an awl or very thin screwdriver at times just to line up the various difficult pieces.. ( do not forget the alt. screw that comes in from the front midway through the engine and connects the fan housing tin and the alt tin into the fan housing.. need a smaller length screwdriver for that one if the engine is in the car.. probably a flashlight then too.
"ive got all the tin "in place" now, but can't seem to get that front piece lined up properly (the one that bridges the transmission. I have the two tabs correct on the top but the sides are weird" quote-- that is the rear the tranny piece and in each rear corner comes from underneath the above mentioned final cylinder head pieces, I usually need an assist with those as someone has to hold the tin pieces from underneath the car while the other screws it all together.. should be 5 screws total, 3 in the LR and 2 for the RR and they involve the larger tin side pieces too.. bascally your tying all 3 tins at once.. per side |
