WA WA. Put my Z back together weekend of 21/2 and 22/2

Hi guys

I am about ready to get my project Z on the road.
Engine is mostly put together and ready to go in, however some of my tools have been stolen from the garage.

Is anyone able to help out this Sunday (15th Feb) in putting this engine in and getting the car rolling? Anyone with an engine crane available?

I have a huge array of Z32 parts to give away for those who help and will put on plenty of beers & food.

The address is in Aubin Grove for those interested (15-20 mins SOR)

 

Id come but might be too short notice for me this time, already have partial plans in place.

id be happy to help out on a later date if it doesnt get done this weekend.

 

I'll see if I can make it for a few hours. What tools do you need?
You could rent an engine crane from a hire centre.

 

Thanks for the offers guys. I'm going to look at hiring an engine crane for the next two weekends.

Is there anything specific a newbie like myself should remember to buy beforehand in order to put the intake manifold back on and the motor in?

I already have got new stock engine mounts, maybe a new wiring loom while it's all out?

 

Hard to say without knowing what stage your at. Should on need the crane for a day once its ready to put in the hole. Are in tomorrow arvo? You are quite close to where I work.
call me on 0450737537.

 

You will need a few gaskets!

Thanks for that. I am in the process of compiling a list of things I still require.. It is a lot longer than I expected and still a few things to add as well!

 

It's normal to first get all your bits together and then ask for assistance - just because it can take so long.

 

I am just hoping to have the motor in so that I can move the car as one piece at the moment. Made a bit of progress and I think another weekend or so and it should be ready.

The remaining parts I need would mostly be cosmetic and easily changed once the engine is in.


Big thanks to Paul for lending a hand for a few hours - huge help learning from someone with the experience!

 

I will be back at it again this weekend if anyone is able to lend a hand. Was excellent meeting Paul last weekend and having an experienced hand

I've never pulled an engine before but have enjoyed the work thus far (must be something wrong)
