I hear ya moze my next progect is sitting out side the shop already, kinda playing storage space at the moment, man Im glad I live in the country come to think of Ive got a few progects sitting out side lol.

 

with my experience with the 22re and Cali smog. NGK is the way to go on spark-plugs. As for the sealant. I just use RTV, usually the red and some times the gray.

It is also cool to see someone else doing a drive train lift. I am doing my dual t-case install and 3" drive train lift this june. I have the motor mount lift brackets from 4crawler

 

Thanks dark, my drive train lift is a ways off, I'm going to build my own lift brackets for the engine and get budbuilt cross member. But I want to get it running first no sense lifting a drive train that don't drive LOL.

 

Yeh, usability is more important then a flat underside for sure.

I am using a Sky-Manufacturing crossmember with drive train lift spacers.

 

got a few things done today.
bolted my motor mounts

original mount

original bolt drilled out

new grade 8 bolt thru mount welded on back side

all finished up with rubber bushing flat washer lock washer and grade 8 nut.
also re made my mounts for my eletric fan didnt get any picks but I will tom. spent the rest of the day finishing up cleaning and painting a few parts. tom plan is to get this engine completely asembled and ready to put back in the next time Im home. I got worried about a few things that I have learned since I started to put it back together and wanted to check them out befor going any futher. thanks for checking in

 

looks good. cant wait to see more picture

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! LOL... now we're talking, homie! Looks good,.... keep killin it!

Oh, btw,..... using a camera phone? Not insulting you...but mine has trouble on close up stuff. Just curious.

 

Thanks guys and no mark that is actually my goof digital but if you are not dead steady there fuzzy. I'll try and do better haha but I've never took good pics

 

Check on it for the lil icon of a flower, ...and set it on that, then press down half way till it BEEPS, and then snap it.... Macro Setting, works great on close up stuff or for more accurate focus on an 'object'....

Sorry if you knew that....just throwing it out there. No worries, we can all see what those are of!

 

looking good man

 

I'll try that mark thanks. And NV thanks for stopping by

 

Headed out to the shop to see what I can get done, have to be back on the road this afternoon but I'm hoping to have a productive day. I was unable to get the Toyota sealant like I had wanted to so I'm hoping what I have on hand will be sufficient.

 

Sealant for what? I found that Toyota stuff to be amazing! But, .... it's not really good for areas where fuel will be cruisin by(intake to head), etc. They also make sensor safe sealant. Just curious what you're needing it for..........???

 

OK so I didn't exactly reach my goal for today for one its raining and paint wont dry two I have had this apart for so long remembering how it all goes back together was more of a challenge than I expected that being said it is 99 percent together, I need a lot if the short hoses from the water pipes etc so I wouldn't have got it done anyway. All in all it was a very productive few days so I'm happy I should still be able to get it finished up and back in next time home if I can get my clutch ordered. Thanks guys for checking in.

 

YEAHHHHHHHH! Now that, sir, is good news! Can't wait to see you drop it in there!

 

Thanks mark I'm pretty stoked to have back togethere.

 

Very nice! Glad to hear shes comin together!

 

Thanks moze might get there yet LOL.

 

Sounds like you are making great progress. Looking forward to you getting it going. Maybe you will have some more time soon. Hope this trip goes fast for you. Got som pic?

 

Thanks Terry yes I took some pics just didn't have time to load them sorry. Wish you were closer I would have felt a lot more comfortable with someone there that had done it a few times and I'm sure it would have went faster LOL. Hope the storms got by ya.
