Pulled engine, whewwww

Pulled the engine, trans, and T/C today. Up to this point hadn't broke a bolt one. Well started w/ 2 of 4 exhaust bolts(actually 1 stud and 1 bolt). Still thought it was going good, then the trans mount bolts locked up on me and I cut them. Then, what engineer had the bright idea of putting the oil pump housing right in the way of the right engine mount bolt. Then my bright *ss pulls the five housing bolts and never thought to take off the filter and look for another bolt. Anyway I'll be needing a new oil pump housing. But the engine/trans/tc is out of the frame and I'm frickkin done for the day. Had to pop the top on the bottle of absolute thats been in the freezer for a month. Saluda!!! Damn, need a martini glass smily.

 

Good job, yea it is fun trying to find the last screw that is holding something on..... whats next on the list?

 

Sanding and wire brushing and more sanding and probably some bleeding and sore back muscles and maybe a headache or two.

 

well at least you know what to expect good luck on the sandin and brushing.... try to keep the bleedin to a minimum ....... yea right if you are like me....

 

You've got to bleed a little while you sing, 'lest the words don't mean a thing...

Just keep some Mandages around. (Duct tape and paper towels)

 

Bandages are ok but I keep crazy glue around. One squirt for the project, one squirt for the knuckle/finger/scalp/dog etc. R) R)

 

We're about the same point on projects , except mine is on jackstands with no suspension under it.... Off to the garage to do some grinding and wire wheeling !!!

 

I've got a used one available in case you don't find a new one.

 

A housing is a housing. Let me know what you need for it. Quick repair to damage done by my own hands is priceless.:v6:
