The valve adjust help would be fantastic. We really could use the help.
Steve and I had a really productive today on the car. A summary of today's accomplishments:
(a) separated the engine from the tranny;
(b) cleaned the tranny (at a coin car wash
)
(c) removed the remainder of the engine sound pad;
(d) POR-15'ed the engine bay (metal ready and rust paint);
(e) bought the foil backed insulation/adhesive for the engine sound pad;
(f) returned the stuff for the engine sound pad as the engine bay looked really good painted black and I don't want to deal with another crumbling sound pad;
(g) took off the engine tin;
(h) painted the engine tin;
(i) took off and cleaned the upper valve covers (I've ordered turbo lower covers).
All in all, a really good day. We also got to meet James and his 82 coupe with the 3.6 varioram. Nice car! Thanks for stopping by.
I have also decided to drop the bucks on a new clutch after splitting the tranny. That thing hasn't been opened in a while and there is a lot of clutch material there. The clutch was working really well beforehand so I hate to mess with a working tranny but I don't want to have to do another engine drop next year.
Anyone have the flywheel bolt remover I can borrow?
