I'll post pics when that's done.
      That's the biggest thing I need info on since I swapped in a manual rack on my protege. I plan on running a v6 when funds let me. Might be a few years. Any other info on how you do this please share

          I should have some pics of the PS setup by tomorrow afternoon.

          Today I got the HLAs and cams back in, and got new valve cover gaskets as well. Added a bit of bling to keep the ricer in me quiet. The intake manifold will be aluminum silver.

          I should finish the engine tomorrow along with bolting up the clutch and transmission, so thursday is my tentative engine drop.

                  Here is the power steering gutting procedure - it's really a lot simpler than it looks.

                  Basically you want to take the back plate off the pump, take out the inner parts and that's it. The shaft itself spins on a sealed bearing that is replaceable if need be.

                  Here we go -


                  Pump & bracket, at first:






                  From left to right - engine bracket, PS pump, belt tensioner bracket






                  Closeup of the back of the pump:






                  Here is what you see after you remove the 4 12-mm bolts and remove the back plate:






                  Pump emptied - you can just flip it over, all that stuff will slide out. You can see it on the right (the inner PS vanes, gasket, back plate):






                  Because I don't need them (and dead weight is evil), I also took out the PS pressure sensor and fluid inlet fitting:






                  Gutted pump:






                  Gutted pump, back side:






                  Here is the bearing that the shaft spins on:






                  Gutted pump reinstalled on the tensioner bracket:






                  Assembly mocked up on a KL, with the PS pulley on the shaft:






                  Back side of assembly:






                  The back plate of the pump (if you wish to reinstall it) has a circular slot for the shaft to get into - if you bolt it to the pump, grease up that slot as the shaft spins inside of it. Here is the back plate on the pump again. I will not be using this, but you can if you want the back side bracket to attach to the engine.






                  After back plate is on, reattach the bracket to engine for the back side of the pump. Use the gasket that was originally between the 2 pump pieces to keep clearances the same for the shaft.






                  FWIW, I haven't used the back plate on the gutted pump on my drag car and the shaft bearing is fine. I was at first concerned that without the rear bracket that holds the pump to the engine the side loading of the shaft due to the belt turning might cause problems for that bearings, but no problems thus far and I don't anticipate any either.


                  So that's that for tonight...

                              i've seen people remove the pump completely and use a shorter belt to connected the water pump.

                              this is pretty sweet though!

                              i think i'd run powersteering in a 323 thats KLZE powered though lol.
