I got a good chunk of reassembly done last night.
First off, the new front engine mount went in. The old one was pretty shot!
Yay, nice new shiny part (yeah the only one on the whole engine
).
Next up was the water pump. The old one was getting fairly corroded from running pure water through the cooling system.
Here we have my solution to not wanting to pay $38(!!!) for a intake manifold gasket.
So, its mostly reassembled at this point. I need to do the valve clearances yet. I was going to do that, but I couldn't find my feeler gauges last night. Also, the timing belt needs to be put back on.
