How its all sitting
Cleaned engine bay
Was not to lazy tonight, got the torque converter off, flywheel and the insert that it bolts to.
Also took the sump off, hoping to maybe find the washer i think may have fallen in the block.
I did not find it but i did find 4 small chips of plastic.
I can't think of what they could be??? Maybe something off my water pump or something?
I haven't taken the timing cover off i guess i should have taken that off before i took everything else off as the nut is still in the bottom pully
Opps
Hope there are some positive comments out there.
Will hopefully get the pulley and timing chain cover off tomorrow.
Then i will put my new cover on and take the block and cover to be matched skim the top of the timing chain cover. then assemble the motor again less the head, and put it back in the car do check i have all the parts, it fits, anything i got to change etc, then pull my dads driveshaft out make sure its a perfect fit and get one made to the same as his.
I Might even have it all read to run so i can make sure the box etc is sweet as a nut before yet throwing more money at her.
