Re: Bringing the Z back!
Well I put the engine in on Saturday. Everything went very smooth. I hooked up the transmission and most of its bolts ( minus the hard to reach ones) and was able to remove the supports for the transmission. It's exciting to see back in the engine bay.
Tuesday I was able to get the power steering pump, AC compressor, and alternator back in the car. No belts yet. It took a while because of the weird angles of the engine bay and I didn't have the correct tools. I tinkered with a couple of connections on the wire harness, but mostly cleaned up all the extra crap I had and putting my tools back i n their right place so I could find them again.
Yesterday was good. Spent most of my time getting the belts back on the pulley system. Lost the starter bold. I need to get a few washers for the new one. Hooked up a bunch of vacume lines and piping. So far I only have a few things left to work on:
On the bottom
Starter
Heat shielding
Exhaust
On the top
Wiring harness
Vacuum lines
Balance Tube
Turbo Piping
Radiator
I need to put oil in it again and I defenintly need some new transmission fluid too. Had to disconnect the transmission cooler lines and they leaked everywhere. On me once or twice too! I took my battery to be charged and hopfully today or tomarrow will be the day!
