 Is it a fools errand to try to put engine tin on once the engine is installed in the car? |

So I know it’ll be more difficult, I’m just not sure how much more difficult it would be to put engine tin on an engine once it is in the car?

I have R&R'd the tin across the front, and the over-cylinder tin, plus the stuff under the cylinders. I haven't changed out the rear tin.
The most difficult of the stuff that I have done was the driver's side over-cylinder piece. It only wanted to go around the dipstick tube by turning at an angle that the sides of the engine bay made impossible. It took some fiddling and possibly some bending of stuff, but it did fit. Lining up the screw holes was a pain for some of the parts. Made a bit easier by the fact that I was using Allen-head screws, not the stock slot-head screws. (Did I mention that I hate those things?) --DD |
