    [Project] Plum 95 engine project

    Well I officially started the engine removal and rebuild of Plum 95.
    There were 2 problems 1. a slow antifreeze leak - seems to be drivers side head gasket.
    2. this happen last week looks like lifter collapsed and pushrod came off roller

    So I jacked up rear so when I raise front high enough to clear engine my exhause tips won't touch

    Then I raise the front so there is plenty of room under car. (older chubby people need more room under a car)

    then I disconnected the rad. hoses and drained the coolant.

    Then I disconnected the heater hoses and the A/C lines

    then disconnected the throttle and cruise cables

    I wll add more steps as I get more done I thought this could be a good time to document dropping engine out the bottom.

          Stubborn old man wouldn't wait for me to get home to start doing all this work. And he's also guaranteeing that while he's down in Florida living it up at the end of the month that Angie and I can't use the garage. THANKS OLD MAN!

                I don't. I haven't been in the garage in weeks. I got that awesome detail job and my car has been parked outside all week getting trashed from all the morning dew. I'm not really complaining, but it's not like my car is sitting protected in a garage every night either. It's at the bottom of the driveway, blocking the sidewalk, and entirely exposed to the elements.

                      Meh, he won't have anything useful to post until this weekend anyway. We'll go through and clean up the thread if he continues documenting as well as he has been so far.
