Techy's engine pull progress thread

[techy101]

Well it's been a very long night (Didn't finish until 4am) but I managed to get the motor back in. What a PITA. It ended up being myself and two friends who aren't so much into the car thing, but enjoy getting dirty once and a while.

I borrowed a under drive pulley from someone locally and it worked like a charm on the rear main seal.

None of us had put a motor in before, so it took much longer than it probably should have, but we finally managed to get it done.

I'll hopefully have everything back together tomorrow or Monday and fire her up and see what happens.

I'm fairly nervous to see if it runs properly or if I b0rked something and the **** hits the fan.



Is there anything special to do before running the car since it's been totally drained of all fluids? Do I just fill it up with coolant, oil, and PS. fluid then fire it up? Any tricks?

Here are just a couple of pictures
