you can get universal clutch alignment tools. for like 2.00. or check ebay.

 

[justanothermp5]

oh, there universal? didnt know that, im going to try napa out later on today, they normally have more tools then autozone and advanced

thanks guys

 

[justanothermp5]

just ordered a clutch alignment tool from some place online, it was 10 dollars but oh well, at least i got that out of the way

man i wish the dude at the machine shop would hurry up already lol i finished wiring up the SSAFC yesterday and installing the MSP ECU, now today im just painting random s*** and gonna finish cutting/welding the bumper support to fit my FMIC

idk what im going to for the next 2 days though lol, wire up my guages i guess

 

[justanothermp5]

alright well i just got a set of ARP Head and Main studs from a member on here, since i knew PG would take forever lol
got them for 110 shipped, FOR BOTH BNIB

got them in yesterday so tomm all i need to do is pick up the block and start putting stuff together, pics comin tomm so stay tuneddd

edit: well the machine shop is behind so im not ******* getting the engine back till monday, so pissed about it cuz the only thing that i couldnt do, went wrong of course

so monday ill update, till then i guess nobody will be posting in here

[justanothermp5]

ok well i got the block back, got the piston rings gapped and put everything in and torqued it down already, i just have one question before i put the head and the oil pan end everything else on, does anybody know if it matters which way the rods face? cuz i didnt notice till i finished putting all of the rods on the pistons, but one of the rods has the tang facing the opposite way as the others...
is this a big deal or not really?
pics coming later

 

[justanothermp5]

Bump!

 

[TWISFM]

bump for joo

 

[justanothermp5]

finished welding the bumper support to hold the FMIC but i need to weld on 2 more supports since right now there is only one and its not strong enough to hold the FMIC up by itself

right now im at the point where im putting all the pulleys and external stuff on the engine, i put on the thermostat and the waterpump today, went to torque the WP and one of the bolts ******* breaks in the block, so now i have to take it off and try to drill/tap the block tomm and get more stuff done

im going to be attempting to get the engine back on the transmission and get all the mounts back on so i can put it in the car on the weekend, i really hope nothing goes wrong with the engine, i just have a bad feeling for some reason (nailbyt)

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

If that is an oil pressure sensor you may want to have that read from the factory position or it won't be accurate.

 

[justanothermp5]

im not too worried about the accuracy, i just want to know there IS oil pressure
as long as there are numbers showing up ill be good, when theres no oil pressure, then theres a problem lol

 

[TWISFM]

hopefully theres enough rooms for the oil pressure sender to fit back there....

 

[justanothermp5]

should be, the firewall is pretty far back
if not i can just loosen all the stuff and turn it to face down some

 

[TWISFM]

should be good.. jcell has it where there is a line coming from the block... thats like 3 feet long then to the oil pressure sender that sits somewhere in the engine bay. then a line from that to the turbo.. makes everything easier to get to.

 

[justanothermp5]

yea, thats why i have it facing like that, cuz the wires are hard to get on there when its so close to the block, i hope this helps a little

 

[TWISFM]

No oil cooler?

 

[justanothermp5]

nope, i may install one later, but im not going to be pushing the engine hard anytime soon
plus its like 20 degrees over here

 

[TWISFM]

word right i remember...its comin along nicely. just take your time and re check everything like 3 times
