First PICS of the temp engine
(I'll add more to these as I tear it down)
--------------------------------------------------------------
A perfect day to get an engine - "Warm,
Sunny day (in Enfield Ct.) & everyone is smiling....." What
did you expect? It was almost 50 degrees JANUARY after all!!!! 3+
hrs up from Jersey to friend's house in Ct. then 45 minutes to
engine in Mass. FOG ALL THE WAY UP & BACK....
The organ - I mean engine donor car - Best description: "Mary
Kay Cosmetics PINK" 98 - 102 HP
He took off the Bell Housing.....*$#%@**
No, we did not lift it by that chain, we manhandled it into the
truck.... Yes, that's a 94 Ranger on Steroids. My son put a
lot of TLC into it, then found out he needed something with a back
seat to hold a baby seat for our soon to be grandson....... He's
gaining a son, losing a truck & I get a second childhood romping the
pedal & driving stick....... He took off the 35's but left the lift
kit. Bit of a climb up in but lots of fun!
Gee it's leaking oil, or goo, or some kind of black syrup.....
better get a rag while I strap it down...... wouldn't leak if it had
a bell housing on it. Lots of possibilities..... & a few problems, like
90 wt oil in the crankcase...... or does it just get thicker as it
ages?
An almost complete engine - NO WATER!!!!
Engine cleanup progressing, will post pics soon. |
