Well, I'm excited today. I don't know if any of you other guys would get so excited. I finally pulled out the motor in my s13. It slammed against the power steering lines at first and then the heater lines snagged it. But after that... The big dirty thing came right out. We used the power steering mount (the long bolt at the top of the pump) and we wrapped the chains around one of the intake manifold runners to pull it out. So leveling was kind of a pain in the ***.

So next i'm going to see if the top of my timing chain guide is in the oil pan, cause it broke off and the base of the guide was still bolted down.... Yeah, that's what I said. I think I'm just going to pull EGR unless it throws some massive engine checks. I really just want to rebuild the motor, top to bottom.

 

Its all nuts and bolts. Pretty soon you'll have to change your name!

 

Its a lot of nuts and bolts. Some of which I'm afraid I've lost.
