I am enbarking on an engine rebuild - doing a RAT 2270.
I've been taking detailed pictures and posting them here. So far I've take it all apart. Now I'm doing lots of cleaning and ordering parts (and waiting for them to show up). Enjoy! teaser: Attached image(s) |

Looks great!
BTW what kind/size lift do you have. My garage isn't nearly that large so I'm on the fence between if I have the space for a 2-post with some sort of drive/on modification for parking/storing, or if I should just go 4-post with bridge jacks (can't do engine drops with that though :-( ) |

I bought it used for $1200 - and it has been, hands down, the most useful tool I own. Have you heard of Maxjax? http://www.maxjaxusa.com/ It's a 1/2 height 2 post lift. The lift posts have wheels and handles like a hand truck - you can unbolt it from the anchors in the floor and roll it out of the way. A great solution for people with smaller garages (although it doesn't make the price any less (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ). |
