My engine removal/clutch install

We got the engine out, so now all I have to do is wait on the clutch to get here, and just throw it all back in.

Money shot

 

looks fun, when was this

 

Tonight, just got home. I had a thread in the G2G section

 

CRAZY! When I had to get a new clutch (last year in may), I paid a friend of mine to do it, but we just moved the engine like 2 inches forward. It was still pretty tough to do it but this looks like it'll be a cinch to put in the clutch with all that space!

 

Yeah, saves a lot of hassle

 

yea man it was fun. When will the clutch be here? My wheels didn't fall off on the way home :ddirty:

 

HOPEFULLY around the first of the week. I'm jsut gonna work on it every afternoon and get as far as I can by myself, and may need someone to help me drop it in

 

oh man, i missed it, i would've came just to annoy Ped or something :rofl:

 

Well, I still have to put it back in, so I'll let you know when its ready to go in
Heres a few more:







Now do you see why it'd be harder to change it with the engine still in...?


Who needs horse power...? :ddirty:

 

Mine looks just like that at the moment.....

 

haha, sucks doesn't it Wheres the 'easy' button? :hsugh:

 

easy button is just couple of hundred bucks away~

 

You better be doing something else while the engine is out OTHER than the clutch.

Doing it with the engine in is MUCH easier.

 

just go ahead and do that to mine and we'll swap motors.. you know you want a 2.0 lol. seriously though how long did that take?

 

Yeah I was kinda hoping you guys were doing more than a clutch.

 

Start to finish of 'actual work' was about 3-4 hours

 

Your engine doesn't look anything like that. It is spread out all over the floor :rofl:

 

haha ouch

 

Beautiful dog, I love spring spaniels.

 

Thank you

 

ok, car is now done The clutch is much better than stock, but I can't really push it that hard til its broken in. I just have a few small things to do on it tomorrow night. But I drove it home just for shits and giggles

Huge THANKS to Stephen (Kingwrex), Ped, Joey (Bomjoon), Dana (Yungdz), and Jerome (tntsfinest)!!!!!!!!!

 

do the spark plugs now if you need to, it was just a pain against the frame rail

 

Oh I did I wish I had some cams too

 

remember 500 miles break in period. drive like a granny.

 

too late for that... When I had to go to Grady yesterday, I followed the Police escort in the emergency lane doing 120 all the way to midtown (that was fun BTW).

 

lol I bet. Hows your friend doing?

 

we need to do that sometimes later but w/o someone getting hurt.

 

BTW Greg and Bomjoon did you guys smell and see what was going on outside of that house when we were leaving? Strange!

 

He just got home. They held him over night because he was still bleeding internally, but they got it stopped. He is VERY lucky. I'm about to leave to go to his house now
