the continuing saga....
Got the old motor pulled out sat night. Discovered in the process, that the
right side motor mount was shot. So much for hoping to have it running on
sunday. Decided to spend sunday slowly shifting parts from one motor to the
other. The original motor had the newer timing belt and the replacement
had the old style so I will be changing cam/waterpump/crank sprockets over
to the new motor and going with the better belt. Need to find an oil cooler
line though, only have one currently. Replacing various gaskets and seals
as I go. Put a call into Chris @ force5 for some of those parts and I
should have those on Wed. (thanks Chris!) Looks like I'll spend the rest
of the week preparing some parts for install, ie. painting the valve cover
and timing belt cover. Hopefully will have the motor in the car and running
on sunday.
In other news....
Just got my room reservations for the Mt. Washington Hillclimb. Just in
time too, almost all full there at the Royalty Inn in Gorham.
Looks like it will be a very full spring at least!
