WASHroad Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Just getting going this morning and first thing I see that is different is on the right hand cylinder. Under the cylinder next to he oil pan is a large plug with two wires coming off of it. This is on the 88 GL. On the 91 Loyale block there is a large a allen head plug?.. Do I have to swap this plug in sensor out or is it something the system will do without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 That is an accessory block heater. Handy to have if you are in a cold climate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WASHroad Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thank you,, I saw the plug in lead on the right hand inner fender. I think I will just skip in.. Here is WA, we don't get below freeze much on the west coast. This is my first time pulling a engine, well less ripping out the one from the bone yard. So lets hope for a smooth swap. This is good news so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WASHroad Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Does the radiator have to come out to pull the engine. It looks like there is room? It has 5 speed if that maters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 It is generally easier to pull the radiator first - you don't risk damage from the engine smacking into it and it's only two bolts once the coolant is drained. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
