Still waiting on the pump. So I'm messing around right now, cleaning up. Will pull the mockup motor today hopefully and clean up the engine bay some more.
Swapped the motor to be on the stand like this. Makes working on the rear a lot easier.
Well heard back from Travis. Oil pump should be here wednesday. Hopefully shims will be here then too. So maybe first start next weekend?
This is a blessing in disguise, I had started to rush things. So I spent an hour cleaning the oil pan and clearancing the MBSP for the ARP mains. Also made some oil pan alignment dowels.
And then I "sealed" it all up for now. Tomorrow I'm going to roll the car out and wash the engine bay, button up wiring, finish the interior. Essentially get the car complete except for the engine.
After that I drained all the old fuel, Walbro made quick work of that. And cleaned up the fuel filter area and installed a new filter, Gates Barricade hose, and fuel injection clamps.
Tapped my other transmission for the temperature sensor. Made this funky "jig" to center the hole perfectly between the fins. Then flushed it with Brake cleaner, atf, and mtf.
Real answer: Aidan is growing up and doesn't want his **** to look like ****. When he does something, he wants it to look decent. The untouched stuff stays ugly.
Can you measure out the location of the 4 threaded holes on the passenger side behind the alternator. I've been trying to fab up a plate to bolt into that location with some counter bores, to use for auxiliary mounting position for things.
