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 |

to be clear, the engine is not in the car, it's easily accessible on a rolling cart.
so i get all the tin done and what do i see laying in the parts pile? the oil cooler rubber gasket....................... ugh..... so offffff all the tin comes again... that whole "installation is reverse of removal" won't cut it for me... it's been too long since i disassembled and trying to remember the order of everything is crazy.. i finally get the tin back on after getting the oil gasket on and then i look at the main air cleaner piece (that the intake manifolds connect to) and it looks like those have "legs" that should be screwed in with the tin screws as well... i threw my hands up and shut the garage up for the night... and to add to the frustration, the powder coating has made the holes almost impossible to put screws in... fun times... im gonna grab a beer (or 8) and give it another go tomorrow... any other tips before starting up tomorrow? |
