Had it up in the air and broke it in for a 100 miles. Three lugs were missing on front hub. Had to take the hub up to tims shop to press it out of the way. So when I took this out didn't even take a tool with me. worked most all the bugs out in the garage.........getten her a little wet sanded down for a fresh coat of paint.

Got the engine on the mounts that day tranny and torque converter hooked up. Easiest way is with firewall engine mount in place hooked loosely to engine frame mount hanging. Easier just to bolt the mount to the frame. Leave front mount completly off engine. drivers side mount on engine there but pullies had to come back off. Once front is in place mount drivers side frame to motor mount. Of course all this if after ya goten the tranny bolts started. Mine fell right in place and got a front bolt started right away. A lot to still hook up here my friends.... Next day when there's more shade under this tree.......

Moven it along. Just be sure and keep all your cam caps and roller rockers in order. A little white lithum grease for initial start up. Caps are numbered and have arrows on them. Be careful tighting up and bring them all down a little at a time . If something feels in a bind watch out and recheck your timing marks. Remember # 4 and #1 piston are at TDC. Valves can bend ! When you first get your timing belt tensioned turn your crank slowely but if you feel any bind STOP. This is an interference engine which means your valves if not set correctly will hit the top of the pistons... and can bend. Just watch out for # 1 and #4 at TDC.

was lucky to find a good crank over in St. Louis for a $100.00 bucks. Hell had to pay $130.00 for the tensioner alone.Had a engine stand burried out in the shed so just built it right there on the floor.

Had it out once already. Ended up with a bad crank. Didn't know the history of the car and thought it just had valve trouble the first time but pulled the motor anyways to replace the rear seal and front tranny seal. Hunted down a single over head cam engine with a good crank. First time me and my brother figured out about five ways not to put the engine back in. Well the second time i slipped it right in the first time.....Ya hooooo shade tree daddy Nopi

That engine is so wide it kinda reminds me of that big ole 426 Hemi motors used to put in them Cudas. My buddies up at the Corvette shop I worked at for ten years wouldn't even know where to start on this Japanese Fararri . Don't even have a clue on these over head cam great breathing 4 valve per cylinder fun sports touring coupes.

Need to back crank back enough to grab the belt and take slack out of belt on rear side when turning back to TDC line. Now you are ready to mount the tensioner. Helps to hold belt on with simple paper cliks. Front cams want to jump on ya. So after lining up with valve covers took the off and held cams in place with vice grips. SHHHHade tRRRRee for sure but it worked. Gots me a snap off box too !

Crank must be lined up with top dead center, TDC is a line mark on the oil pump at acout two oclock. Line mark up with indent on timing belt sprocket. Tensior will be the last to go on.

Now the twelve o clock marks are lined up in back at same time. I remember on front bank single line on front exhaust and intake lined up on double line marks at 12 o clock . Remember back of cam wheel for 12 o clock markings on cam wheel linedup with marks on valve cover. When cams are tightened down, be careful if you turn the sprocket . Feel any bind STOP ! ! Take your time and recheck your markings a couple of times. This is hard enough to do right in front of ya let alone in the vehicle. Did it in the vehicle the first time as I set it wrong on the floor. So do it here the first time right or you will regret it having to do it again in the vehicle. Just remember to turn it over slowely a few times to make sure nothing is in a bind. Valves will bend and you get to do it all again.
