I set out to build an engine plate that I could work from, but it quickly developed a life of its own lol. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) There’s a reason behind the design of every part, but I also set out to work with materials I had on hand along with some steel sourced from Home Depot.

@Van B very neat the way it works in those photos.
something you might be interested in doing when you have the engine down is installing an oil temp sensor wire to plug into that little plug in the upper engine bay. after that info came to light regarding that plug i guessed wrong as a cht lead on the other guys car, i looked into the hook up for a temp gauge. its not plug and play on our 1.8s like a 2.0 was. i posted up some additional material in the EC engine thread in originality section of the site. its got some photos of the wire routing and the little stand off clips that support the wire. the clips hook up the oil filter support tube and one of the oil cooler brackets. be handy to have that in place if you ever do an oil temp gauge. there is a nice way to do the temp in the left hand combo instrument in the binnacle. replaces the hand brake idiot light. its the standard gauge that went in 2.0 L cars.
