im not ready to drop it in yet. the stand is just for my new block to sit on instead of the floor and make it easier to work on. i did the same thing the first time when i put my first motor on.

i gotta get my car re-painted and dry ice to pick up the tar from inside the cabin. alot more work and $$$ to be done.

i started to remove some of the accessories off of the old motor and placed the bolts, etc in plastic bags. for the LIFE of me i can not get the drivers side passenger mount off of the motor. fuuuuuu. such a stupid design on hasports part of that motor mount. i gave up for today. ill tackle it again later.

as soon as i remove all the accessories, ill just scrape the motor = more room in my garage. :dance: thats my update for today. hehehe

got more of the engine broken down. got the tranny off after tugging on it for about 30 mins. and i got the oil pan off. man there was sooo much honda bond on there. that took a good 25 mins to pry it off.

only thing left is the side panel but i cant get the crank pulley off for the life of me and the hasport motor mount on that side. as soon as i get those PITA pieces off then i can take off the pump, chains, etc and i can throw this sucker away. onto pics

u can see a valve that was in the oil pan and a crack on the cover. hnoes:



tranny is fine and well. :tup:



u can see some of the bits and pieces from the piston and rod inside the oil system. what a mess that is.



oil pan off with bits and pieces of the piston and rod



shot of the whole motor. she had a short life. :wtc:



another shot of the valve.
