The engine is ready to go back into the car.  A fuck-buddy of mine came over and helped me out with it.  We got the old twin cam pulled (it has a weird oil level sensor on the side of the oil pan that the 1994 does not have).  I was going to swap out the pans, but the 1995 pan had a crack in it, so I decided against using it.

We got the new timing cover on, but when I was installing the tensioner, the tensioner bracket broke.  Good thing I had a spare.  Once the bracket broke, the tensioner decided to break as well.  Good thing I had a spare.  

Anyways, the engine is 100% assembled, and tomorrow I am going to try to drop it in.  If not tomorrow, then by this weekend.

I don't have any pics.  My scanner is over at my moms house, and I have to use it to get pics out of my camera.

I still need to get some parts, like spark plugs, and wires, and EGR gaskets, but other than that, I am going to try to have this car running by this weekend.

[3100MPFI]

okay.  Time for an update.  The engine is back in the car and hopefully by this weekend, I will have it running again.  I am going to pick up some parts tomorrow.

Here is the car with the engine out.  




And here is the engine FINALLY re-assembled, and timed, and ready to go in.



And here is the car with the engine back in.






And here is a further away shot of the new wheels.  I don't have them on the back yet, but the fronts are on.  I will do the rears later.

I have ALMOST finished it.  I had to stop for the night to take care of some family business, but I will find out probably tomorrow if it runs or not.

First of all, I had someone move into my car while I was not looking, so I need to wait for them to vacate before I can finish.  I had taken the radiator out a couple of days ago, and I TOAD climbed into one of the radiator hoses, and I need to get him out before I can reconnect it.




I replace the spark plugs, and wires on this car.  The plugs were OLD, and the wires were mismatched (old ones on back, and newer ones on front).  I just put all new plugs and wires.

These are the REAR 3 spark plugs, but the fronts were just as bad.



And here you can see that I don't lack much to get it finished.  If it was not for that family thing, and the toad, I would be done by now.

that was a ribbiting situation. damn the french... always gettin into the wrong places and shit... hey you shoulda scrubbed that thing down before you dropped it in!!! i thought gays were a very clean race people!

[3100MPFI]

nope.  I am a dirty boy.  DIRTY! DIRTY! DIRTY!!!!!

[3100MPFI]

I guess that I should add that I don't feel that it is worth cleaning up until AFTER it runs.  Nothing I hate more than a clean car just sitting there not working right.

After I get it fixed and roadworthy, THEN I will give it a good cleaning.

To quote Mr. Mitchell "Today I am dirty and i want to be pretty."

[3100MPFI]

an ugly SOB like me will never be pretty.  

Hell, the only thing that gets me laid at all is the fact I got a pierced dick.  They are so curious about it that they want to see it, so quid pro quo, you know.....

[Jay]

I'm only ugly when i'm not wearing a dress.

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

no, no i dont know. i have no idea infact... and i dont want to have one either!! having a pierced penis pierce my rectum doesnt sound like more fun than monopoly with my cheating little cousin

[3100MPFI]

it is not BOARD game.  It is BORED game.

Monopoly.  Never liked that game.

I am leaving to go work on the car in about 30 minutes, and I should know pretty soon if the car runs.  There is no real reason why it should not, but I am a fish out of water when it comes to dealing with these POS twin cam engines.  I would have much preferred for the cover to have not broken, but I was careful, so there is no reason why it should not work.

[Jay]

Get your little friend coaxed out? Fat ass certainly looked happy perched in your hose. LOL!

[3100MPFI]

sure did.  I got him out today.  I turned the water hose on, and flushed him out.  I did a vid of it, but Photobucket is not wanting to accept it now.  I will try to upload it later.

I also got the car running, but I will do a whole new post for that later.

[Jay]

Running good or poorly?

[3100MPFI]

decent.  Once photobucket will let me upload the vids, I will show you in a new post.
