Re: Engine Install
X 2 on the long bolts, when you work by yourself you need all the help you can ! Cut the heads off, grind a taper, cut a slot for a screwdriver for easy removal. Jet engine mechanics install protectors over the mounting bolts and then unscrew them.

Re: Engine Install
If you have taps and dies, get some solid rod at your local hardware store or metal supplier and thread about 1/2" of one end, then slot the other end with a cutoff wheel or hacksaw blade. Handy for mounting that 60 lb flywheel as well.

Re: Engine Install
I shortened my engine leveler, and made the frame spreader. I had some threaded rod that I cut and ground for the alignment dowels. Splines are marked for visual aid to align transmission shaft.
If all goes well, I will be reinstalling the engine this weekend. Thank you everyone who has helped me get to this point. |

FWIW I used this leveler and did not need to shorten it. |

Re: Engine Install
[QUOTE=alexiskai;2274297]I'm so proud, I think this is the first time someone has reproduced something I designed.
I can't wait to put it to use this weekend. Thank you for sharing your efforts. |

Re: Engine Install
In the first picture you have a fumaze. Hope you used it while the engine was being stored and not operated. Remove before starting the engine.

Re: Engine Install
Sorry Fumaze is a breather on the oil fill tube. Take of the air filter on the carb. The car will run better without it.
