Got the weekend to play with the car in my shop. Had a hell of a time getting the engine stabbed. I don't have the clutch alignment tool and by the time I figured I needed one it was too late in Saturday. I had tried to stab the engine 6 different times. 7 th time I decide to take the clutch assembly off and try to stab it. Just to make sure it will go. Well it did so back out I go. Decide I'll leave the pressure plate loose enough so the dual clutches will move just a bit and stab the trans. Walla it works. So I gracefully remove the engine and tighten up the pressure plate to the engine. Go to stab the engine again and nope. Keep fighting the second clutch plate. Well crap I say and as I'm figuring it's time to drink, I look over at the trans and say, wow I can pull the starter, leave the pressure plate loose enough. Stab the engine and use the starter hole to tighten each pressure plate bolt as I turn the engine. It worked great......... Until I got to the last bolt. 6 of 6 decides to break as I torque it down. Now I've run these bolts in and out way too many times in all this BS so I just laugh. Engine back out. I drill and ez out the bolt without issue. I then swap out bolt for bolt with new. Get that done and the engine just slides right in. This was about 4 pm yesterday. All fun day with this. Today, Sunday has been a blast. 90% is going as planned. The remaining 10% will be an Outfront deal. Thermostat housing doesn't match from the old 3.0 Engine harness needs to be changed on a few vvt solenoids. Crankcase breather hoses are needing a new routing. Thinking of going with a boost controller and E85 sensor on this round as well. Enjoy the pics. Thanks for following. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the buggy I bought one of those cheapie plastic ones & it worked great. on both my single disc and dual disc. One of the tricks I used to use is to shake the pilot up & down before snugging up the first bolt and biting down on the discs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to assume they are not charged. It would be a first but they are new, they didn't have a strap holding the cylinder into the body. The cylinder had to be pulled from the body the whole way. In the past my shocks would expand and I'd have to jack the car up to mount them. I can and will put a pressure gauge on them but what do you say. Get them charged ???

Is it a 3.2? What do you spin yours to? its a hybrid 3.2 liter. basically its a 3.6 motor with a custom modified crank to fit a 3.6 motor the 3.6 crank has a massive 91mm stroke but because it has 7 main bearing journal (unlike a honda v6 that only has 4) and is only 17" long, the real-estate of the crank makes the 3.6 crack. the 3.0 crank on the other hand is strong with an 80 mm stroke (still big). billet custom camshafts, custom tapered 12mm head studs 8+ quart pan, oil pump runs off of cam speed so the pump moves slower with much larger gear rotors, intake cam advance this is an exact duplicate of my motor. The only problem i see is that Grease monkeys car is probably 200llbs lighter than my car, HMMMMM...... 7700rpm i cant recall but think my rev limiter is at 8k, to be honest i rarly turn on my boost controller cause it has over 600 hp at 11psi, honestly 18 psi is really not dunable (LOL) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
