So tomorrow I will be pulling the engine in the evening....So tomorrow during the day I need to pull the rest of the parts off the engine.....I have heard you have to like clock the distributor or like mark it where it is....so if someone could walk me through this that would be awesome.....Also is their anything else on the engine that has to be clocked before it gets pulled off????
Second question When I pull the engine to take to the machine shop is their anything I need to do....The engine from the oil pan to the valve cover is going to the machine shop....Someone was saying I need to take the engine to full stroke and then do something else so when I get it back the timeing is close but if I'm not taking the top off from the bottom then I think the machine shop will deal with this....So do I need to mark anything or will it be okay.....Also once I have the engine pulled from the transmission how exposed is the front of the transmission its just an out put shaft correct or is there a bunch of other stuff and how can I protect it just wrap it in plastic?????
Third question I was trying to pull brake lines and they wouldn't budge is there a special tool I need...This is like the dumbest question I have ever asked for sure:rofl: I had two different wrenches on on the top part of the bolt and one on the bottom and it was not wanting to budge at all like it was starting to strip the bolts so I stopped what am I doing wrong....Doesn't seem like they should be that seized up......
Also the lines going to my steering pump how do I get them off...I need to pull the lines from the steering pump and from the power steering itself on the pulley....how do I get those lines off do they just thread out....its what it looked like and they would turn but I didn't want to pull them because I wasn't 100% sure and don't want to be buying other junk.....
Thanks guys sorry for all the questions just young and learning...And yes my haynes manual will answer most of these questions but they don't answer while I'm sleeping:laugh: Thanks a ton guys you have all saved me thousands I almost owe you haha
