Re: More work for the Claret, etc
Are crank pulleys rubbing on timing covers a universal SVX feature, or is it a by-product of using a lightweight pulley? Mine has the same circle worn in.

Re: More work for the Claret, etc
Chris,
I attributed the damaged cover to the significant crank walk with the previous engine. (was new on the last motor over the winter)

Re: More work for the Claret, etc
Looks like I might be snagging a clutch tool today, so I'll be dropping in the motor either later today or early tomorrow!

Re: More work for the Claret, etc
What did I miss?, why did you have to replace the engine

Re: More work for the Claret, etc
Its looks very cool to have the gold on the engine. And also have gold rims.
I also like the color on you car. And i think its a nice one. I understand what you mean about married to the car. I have also done a lot work of the car and figth whit the dealer i have bogth it from and replace 3 tranny in just 4 years. And now i have got the 5-speed. but i will never sale mine. Becuse all the work i have put in the car and money. So my plan is also to refresh car and give it a paint job.

Re: More work for the Claret, etc
It lives! I got ahold of a clutch alignment tool at 5:00, and by 7:20, I turned the key. The car runs okay, but I have to address what appears to be an issue with one of the timing belt idlers. Altogether, the swap went well. I have to address the A/C system and repair my LF tire, and then it should be good to drive to the Pumpkin Carve!

Re: More work for the Claret, etc
Um, did you put the rest of the valve cover bolts in? It looks like only about half of them are in place in the above pics.

Thanks Tim. The engine ran smoothly, but I have what appears to be a slight timing issue which I will have to iron out over the next week or so.

Re: More work for the Claret, etc
For the record, I still need to address the A/C .
Expect to see it at the Pumpkin Carve, arriving on a trailer...

Re: More work for the Claret, etc
Dropped my car off during the Pumpkin Carve Meet to have the remaining issues addressed. OT found my timing problem quickly (installed one of the LH cams 180* off OOPS! ). Tom also replaced the seals on my brake reservoir, replaced a few exhaust gaskets, and buttoned up a few details. I'm excited, thinking that I'll be driving my car this upcoming weekend!
