February 9, 200422 yr So i'm installing a new engine this weekend or next, from CCR and i'm trying to figure out what things i'll need to get before i make the car undrivable. ie, if i don't have the part, i'll have to put the old engine in and make a trip to the parts store, so anything you can think of no matter how glaringly obvious let me know, and if its somthing for a little extra pep like 8mm plug wires i'm all ears. My list so far Exhaust bolts coolant 8mm spark plug wires Castrol 5w-30 FHI official oil filter I'm sure that there are a ton of other things that i'm forgetting, like having to rewire my fuel pump because it won't be getting a signal from my disty anymore.
February 9, 200422 yr helicoil vs exhaust bolts? how are yours? distilled water to mix w/ coolant how's your clutch & related bearings? TOB clips? accel 8140 coil to go with those 8mm wires ATF for power steering?
February 9, 200422 yr You'll need exhaust gaskets and intake manifold gaskets. Did you get the installation kit from CCR? How are your radiator hoses? What about your fan belts?
February 9, 200422 yr Author Good call on the fan belt, i am getting rid of the power steering so the old belt won't work, and the intake and exhaust gaskets thats a good call, as far as exhaust studs i have brand new studs, in good threads that are loctited in so i only need the nuts.
February 9, 200422 yr GL tranny? I don't know, I'll assume that's automatic...if not, never mind... I don't know if other people do this, but I just put the ea82 back in my car and I took the opportunity to switch out the oil seal around the tranny output shaft. Really, the only reason I did it was cuz the guy I bought the car from said there was a slow tranny fluid leak but he didn't know where it was coming from. The seal cost like $10, but I figgered it was good insurance to put it in now while the engine was out instead of waiting to find out I need to do it after the engine is already back in. There is a cylindrical part on the back of the torque converter that must slip into the inner diameter of the seal when you reinstall...it was stubborn for me but it will eventually go and presto!
February 9, 200422 yr Author By GL i meant the switch from the single range DL to the Dual range GL. thanks for the tip anyway.
