Project: KDA (Engine and Auto to Manual Swap)

[SVOboy]

How's my tranny doin? Have you tried turning the input shaft to see if you can hear any grinding or squealing? Hows the input shaft bearing?

Your tranny is fine and seems to be in good condition from what I can tell, *shrug*

I think I need an alternator belt too, but I dunno where to buy one, autozone doesn't have it listed.

Pulled the water pump and timing belt, so that job is done and ready to be redone with new parts,

Getting pissed at my cluster now for not working like I want it to, I'm about to rip everything out and put it back to stock and see what happens.

PS: If you wonder where I'm getting the money for this, or why I'm still 17, my birthday is thursday,

Your build looks pretty good and its moving along nicely. I hope you cleaned that exhaust manifold.

Happy birthday by the way!

On my Saturn when we swapped the head, we took a box-end wrench and put it on the nut then braced the other end on something solid. Then, I got in the car and bumped the starter until the crank-pully nut broke loose.

Thanks, not yet, and thanks again.

Expect and update later on as I get this valve cover dried and slapped on, plus a DIY on how I painted it.


Larry: That's a scary way to do it.
