pixxorz of the engine replacement action!

i was up until about 4 am working on getting this motor in. just kinda got on a roll and lost track of time. i love when these things happen. it runs tits now, but i think cam seals, disty o-ring, and valve cover gasket are in order soon.

[89BG 323]

well kids,

this is what happens when you forget that loc-tite exists, and dont use it on your flywheel bolts... on the flipside, its gotten its disti o-ring, and valve cover gasket while its down. getting a flywheel tomorrow and we'll see what happens next.

wow you showed that trans who's boss lol

need the TQ specs for the clutch/flywheel at all? IIRC flywheel is 70-75tq and the pressure plate is around 20.

Holy s....t!
I didn't use it in my worklog too, just about 100Nm, like in workshop manual
That is not enough?

IIRC flywheel is 70-75tq and the pressure plate is around 20.

So, I used almost these values too
Should I detach all parts and use loctite to fix this bolts?

honestly, i think that you will be alright. when i put it together, i didnt have a torque wrench on hand, so i just used a ratchet and a big ass cheater bar. which is probably why i ended up having problems.
