Ok, I am going to have my motor pulled in order to replace my motor mounts and my clutch. Since the motor is going to be pulled, I was going to replace a few other parts:

timing belt, resurface or new flywheel, water pump, all pulleys: idler, tensioner, crank, ps, alt, wp, slave cylinder, master cylinder, maybe head gasket (cometic)

Do you all recommend anything else? Balance belt?

Thanks all

 

I just have a question. Have you already replaced the motor with a 6bolt?

 

No sir.

 

 

That's some of the worst advice I've ever heard. "Replace your perfectly fine and running 7bolt for a 6bolt"? Don't fix it unless it's broke. About the motor mounts and clutch. Don't pull the motor. Pull the tranny first, while you have it out replace that mount. Then put it back together. At that point put a jack under the oil pan with a towel so that you don't bend it and replace each mount one at a time. When you get to the front (timing belt mount) replace the timing belt etc at that point. Pull the lower cover through the bottom. Use the jack to push the motor up/down as necessary. I'm guessing from the way you said it that you won't be doing it yourself though?

 

Yea Steve, I don't plan on doing the work myself. It's too big a job and I don't think I have all the tools, plus if I am going to pull the motor and whatnot I figured I would replace a lot of parts which may take me too long as a noob.

Dusty, the 6bolt is on the 1st gen cars right?

 

Not all 1st gen cars.

PS. My car is a 6 bolt.

 

Yea, I hafta check (read the faq on how to check), coz I remember the guy saying they put in a 1st gen motor in there.

Thanks

 

Then, yea Steve, easy for you to say. If he installs all these parts and pays for all the labor. YOU can explain to him that he needs a new motor, in what could end up being a few hundred miles. Whereas it would be prolly (assuming he hasnt purchased any parts yet.) be about the same price to attain a running 6bolt. Either way hes pulling the motor OUT of the car. Yea, though... not ALL 1Gs have a 6bolt. But theyre only a LITTLE more rare than a 7bolt that doesnt crankwalk.

 

ill take that running 7 bolt Vs this other 6 bolt i havehere that smokes like a freight train and rattles.
you should change the air in your tires while your at it.
90-92.5 had a 6 bolt stock.
