I finally rented a hoist today and pulled my engine. It went pretty smooth. I took the arms off the engine stand and bolted it straight to the plate which seems to work good. Everything is off the engine now, I just have to hunt down one of those huge nuts for my flywheel tomorrow. With my exhaust manifold off I got a good look at my rear rotor and found that one of the apex seals was chipped! Now I don't feel so bad for not doing the ATF :bigok: I can't waite to get those suckers all polished up and looking nice.

Just hope your housing has not suffer from this. Have you decided yet what kind of porting you're going to do? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

You lifted the motor out w/ all the manifolds, etc still on it? That's cool...so what kind of motor is this?

isamu 05-08-2002 06:13 PM

It is an 88 13B n/a. Actually I took off the upper intake and the vacuum cluster before I took it out, which made it easier.

Yea I am hoping the inside of the rear housing is alright, guess I'll be finding out https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I think I will just go with the street port which will be cool. I still haven't found a 2 1/8 nut for the flywheel however, maybe tomorrow.

Hey, I'm thinking of selling the dual exhaust off of my vert, let me know if you are interested.

Yeah I'm interested, that would be cool. Let me know how much you want and when you want to sell it, cause I don't have the cash right now. I could work some slightly damaged series V round tail lights into the payment if you're interested https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif Why aren't you going to put it back on your vert?

It is on the vert right now. I think I would rather use the $ for the 10th AE. Plus the exhaust is pretty damn loud, I kind of want to make it a bit quieter. I always get followed by the cops. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

:monkeypiss: cops

The socket your looking for(for the flywheel nut), can be had at 4-wheel drive shops.(and maybe a good parts store.) I've got one that I use for the front hubs of my Scout and if I remember right it wasn't all that expenstive.(I used it to take the nut off of my Turbo II.) Its not like buying Snap-on or S&K, its welded togather.

Since were so close, if your not in a hurry I can mail it over to you on monday and you can mail it back to me.(cross sound.)

Thanks WdWflash, I appreciate the offer. Unfortunately I bought one on Thursday at an industrial supply place so now I have one of my very own https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Luckily it only took me about a half hour of cranking to get it off, I was afraid it would take longer like a day or two. I thought it might be as stubborn as the pitman arm on my Jeep which ate up one puller and took about 4 days to get off. It almost took out my toe when it finally shot off. :notify:
