Coming together, ancillary parts and pieces

Evening folks,

I'll keep it kinda short today as there's not much to see.  The day was spent installing parts and pieces, some of which show up in pictures and some that don't.  I woke up this morning thinking I might have to drop the engine again as I had forgotten to install the crankshaft pulley, it turned out OK and with just a bit more fiddling than it would have been if it were out in the open, we got it on.

Water pump is in, was able to get it in place and access the bolts BUT the pulley has to be loose.  The pulley has to be loosely installed as there isn't enough room to slip it in between the upper frame rail and the water pump.

Oil filter housing installed and bolts tightened to 17ft/lbs

Oil filter housing, canister and direct reading oil pressure pickup installed as well as new oil pressure sender.  If you look very closely and know where to look you can see the reinstalled reaction plate.

Idler pulley, water pump, alternator mounting bracket


Well, that's it for today.  Still waiting for the gaskets for the intake manifold and etc.

Cheers,
Lynn

  1. Another good day, I see.

    I put up a piece of plywood in the garage and glued in a tiny seal on the Jag. :-)
