Nice job cleaning up the flywheel.

If you need an extra pair of hands, send me a PM. I'm in Freeport, New York and I could shoot over there if you are stuck.

Regards, Maurice.

Thanks for the advice and the offers. Schoir, I will pm you when I am all done. Trade some war stories.

I forgot to ask.. The Pilot bearing..........How do I get it out and how do I get the new one back in?

The pilot bearing is pressed out from the backside toward the front and pressed back in from the front. Similar to a wheel bearing, putting the new bearing in the freezer will aid in re-installation.

I am going to my dealer tomorrow morning to pick up the rest of my gaskets and what not. I am going to ask my buddy over there to see if one of the techs will do it for me.

Back at it again today. I have limited time to work on the motor. Today I urethaned my front motor mount. I needed a new one but the ghetto came out of me and here is what happened.

Urethane

Beyond the mount being urethaned I pretty much finished up the motor assembly. I have to get my fuel lines staightend out and then she is going back in the car.

Does anyone, Todd, know what this clip is for? I feel pretty dumb asking but I can't figure it out. It is on the drivers side of the motor on the last leg of the harness that has the injector and the ignition coil on it. It has the same damn plug as the injectors. I can't figure it out. It has the orange ring around it. Here is a photo or two. HELP!
