I don't think bump start works on this engine as it spins counter clock. I am removing the oil pan now.

 

Damn thats a good deal.. Looks like I better start making a tube chassis for this rusted out 95 I have out back

 

It was only $370 shipped.

 

show it...

 

Well normally I would just tell you to call, but since you asked:

 

noooo bro, sorry.

i meant show the parts you got.

 

Midday progress:
Labeled the plug wires to make reinstallation easier

Cap rotor and wires removed:

Drained the oil, while that was dripping I removed as much as possible from the intake:

Removed oil pan:

Lower end is about how I expected for 190k miles. No metal particulates seen.


For this afternoon,
Loosen crank bolt
Drain coolant
Remove radiator
Continue disassembly of front end.
If I get ambitious possibly remove intake.

 

Posted that in the other thread. But here you go!

 

nice work..moving along. can't wait to hear it tickless.

 

Lots of progress this afternoon. There is a surprise at the end!

Pulley off:


Moved on to the distributor and radiator.


Removed cover with oil pump:


Made a bolt diagram to make sure I put the 3longer bolt back in the right spot I highly recommend this:

Follow these next 3 images as they zoom in on the second cylinder on the left bank.



Blue circle is where this lifter lived:
