Scions-
Well, the B is *finally* back from the body shop and for the
first time in ten years, all of the panels are the same color!
The car looks great (although I already have a small ding on
the passenger side door from snapping on those damn trim strips
;-( -but thats another story).
Current plans are to re-install the engine this Sunday, and I
was wondering if there are any gotchas that I should look out for.
I removed all of the ancillaries from the long block and the engine
compartment is stripped.
Things that I have already done/acquired:
- new mounts (engine and gearbox)
- routed new brake lines
- new ground strap
- new front/rear gearbox seal
- new u-joints
- many, many blankets
- 2 friends, 1 engine hoist, 1 case of Fullers ESB,
and the obligatory Dremmel.
My Questions:
Is it worth renting one of those screw-like balance gadgets
to position the engine or is this overkill w/3 people?
Should I put the front end back up on jack-stands or will I
have sufficient underside clearance without them?
Am I forgetting anything??
Any Allentown/Philadelphia, PA area SOLs interested in either
coaching/wrenching/spectating/imbibing (or any combination thereof),
the festivities begin at 09:00.
Thanks in advance-
