I got my motor back Friday and it's about ready to go in the car, but I have a few questions.

1. The plate that goes between the block and the bellhousing has a bead of sealent around one part, does the sealent side go toward the engine or the tranny? I'm thinking it goes towards that tranny to help keep dirt and stuff away from the clutch.

2. How does the distributer go in? Put the motor at TDC and line the rotor up with something?

3. Are the valves adjustable? If so, how?

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I get farther along.

Thanks
John

 

it's all in the service manual. if you're swapping an enging, it should be #1 on your tools list.

 

Technically its not a swap since I'm putting the same motor back in.

 

Technically you need a FSM for this kind of procedure.
