Title: Engine Pull Saturday 11-3-12
Post by: 3Gear on November 01, 2012, 12:15:14 PM
Hey everyone

     This Saturday we are pulling the engine out of my van  :jump4jo": And would like to put it on the stand in my basement for the winter rebuild. 


     Yucel and  I plan on getting started at 10:00, going to a concert  2@@cool on Friday so an early start is not in the cards...   


     I would love to have any help that is available. =+grouphu9


     There will be fresh coffee and doughnuts, and a tasty lunch when we get done!!!   


    Looking forward to getting this project going!



Thank You,

Marc AKA 3Gear

With a big helping hand from Yucel, the motor is out and stripped to a long block, and in my basement!!!

@ interesting finds during the process:
1 The PO dropped a spark plug in the tins and just left it.

2. instead of fixing an oil leak they screwed a bit of metal to the engine tins to keep the oil from leaking on the exhaust... (no pic.)

Need to add 4 motor mounts to the parts list...

Thanks again for all your help Yucel!!

No problem dude!  It was fun hanging out and wrenching with you.  Thanks again for the coffee, donuts, and the best mexican food in south jersey hands down!
