I am not taking it easy and working at a slow pace since it will be at least 4 days before I get my clutch back. I'm thinking it I wont get it back for a week. Sucks!! Ohh well. So I been doing what I can with the car.
Add a wire installed.
I just dont know where and how to hook these wires up. The manual jumps from trim the fuse box to taking the plenum apart and fuel rail. So I just shoved the wires under the cover for now. lol Any help or instruction would be appreciated.
Added the oil pan spacer and dip stick extension thing. My hands and arm got really messy working by the pan after I installed it especially for the "Tee" extension for the oil sensor and turbo oil feed. After prying the lower oil pan off, I cleaned it with a razor. It was clean but not spotless of the old sealant especially where I pry and bent it. I broke out the wire wheel and drill and cleaned up the lower pan and the upper pan on the engine. It worked wonderfully.
I had some trouble with the oil cooler line. They were too short.. Heck, they can still use an inch or two on both lines. I ended up cutting off the corner of the ABS so I could route the SS oil lines through the hole. They just barely reached!! I had to connect them to the thermostatic plate then install the plate. PIA!!!
Corner cut off in this pic. (I actually used a pedal bit and drilled consecutive holes then snapped them off with pliers.)
Speaking about the Thermostatic oil plate, anyone knows what size socket it is? I don't have one that fits it. I was using a adjustable box wrench thing but I can't get it tight enough.
Tomorrow will be spark plug and injector day. If I have extra time, it will also be fuel pump day.
