To List,
Okay, I've got my engine in!!! With header attached as well, which is
really not very easy, kind of like shoving a wheelbarrow into your oven
(I've never done that, but I imagine it's got to be easier than putting that
stinkin' engine with header on in the car).
So, you'd think I'd be happy, parading around like I'm the King of my local
town here. No, in fact I woke up at 3 AM this moring with the thought that
maybe I put my clutch in backwards!! Couldn't sleep the rest of the night.
What is bothering me it this statement from the Rising Sun archives (under
"assembling the 2000 engine"):
"Use a clutch alignment tool to install the clutch disc on the flywheel. Be
sure that the extended part of the clutch disc hub faces the flywheel."
Used clutch alignment tool, so first part didn't bother me. It's the next
part: "Be sure that the extended part of the clutch disc hub faces the
flywheel."
Well, if I did that, my disc wouldn't rub on the flywheel and if it did get
that close, my disc would hit my flywheel bolts. So I did it with the
extended part of my hub towards the tranny.
Did I do it wrong, or is the above statement wrong? Or is something else
horribly wrong? You can imagine now why I was awaken at 3 AM with horrific
fears of having to take the engine out and put back in again. Please help!!
