Anyone had problems with the crank pulley fouling the rack? The gearbox is
jacked up as far as it will go, but the front of the engine won't go down far
enough to get the gearbox shaft fully in. The gap between the top of the
bell-housing the engine backplate is smaller than the gap at the bottom, i.e
the front of the engine needs to go down, or the gearbox to go up, but neither
will move any further. This is a chrome bumper, and a car where someone else
removed the engine.
I've done a late rubber bumper, where I had the rack out anyway to get at the
engine mount nuts, so no problem with that. It's as if the rack needs to be
pulled forward, or the back of the gearbox tilted down i.e. slacken the rear
crossmember bolts, but none of the three sets of instructions I have say
anything about either of those.
Thanks,
PaulH.
