Almost done with the engine

...for arbtrary meanings of done. That is to say, unless something acts up - I'll probably have the car running inside a week.

Things that might act up is:
* The distributor cap is to large. I either have to find a smaller cap or move the timing stuff over from the old engine.
* The exhaust manifold is not in place, and I have ordered new bolts and gasket since the old ones are broken. It's been more than a week in the coming...
* Two philips head screws are worn out, and won't come out.

Now, for an engine switch outdoors with no tools at hand when I started out - that's an inspiringly short list! :)

And when I'm done, I suppose it's time to get the next project started: Converting the engine to ethanol. (Which was the original project with the Samurai - so its still properly unfinished...)

exhaust manifold

How on earth did you learn and fold so mani motor terms in English? Gosh!

A magician never tells...

...but since I'm not a magician:

I stumbled a bit, searching about for stuff I needed for the Samurai - so I searched for a dictionary first... :)
