Install went pretty smooth. Suprised by the angle down the unit seems to have. Its about 1" lower than the bar. I think I will fab a plate that goes from the firewall back to the bar set off with spacer to the level of the sump bottom. At least that way the whole front of the sump is not exposed and the first thing to impact.
Used hylomar and so far no leaks but I just drove her around the block. Will test it tomorrow. What torque do the six allen bolts get on the plate? I set then at 60in/lbs Thanks for the help. Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Nov 7 2004, 04:02 PM) If you get overly concerned raise the front of the motor 1/2 an inch. We raise the engine/trans in the 4cyl race cars upwards of 3/4 of an inch for header clearance and sump clearance. Depending on what starter you are running you may have to dimple the trunk floor. Thanks, that is an awsome idea. Can I leave the tranny mounts alone? |
