Ordered the steering rack

03/21/2017

Finally ordered a rebuilt steering rack. The old one had a broken boot, seal and basically poured fluid on the floor if any was in the pump reservoir.

I went for the acdelco which has a lifetime warranty if I ship them a core and a $30 Discount but ships the part in 1 to 2 months. It had a serious description about how they prep the product.
I went for the acdelco because I can wait the 2 months and acdelco seems big enough to honor some of that warranty.

All the racks on amazon are now in the $250 neighborhood (aftermarket upgrade price) except the one i went with, which was $140 shipped.

I know I won't be installing it for quite sometime so warranty probably isn't an issue.

Flywheel, clutch, bell housing and some other details

Installed the new flywheel.  Installed the new clutch.  Installed the clutch fork and throw out bearing  And then the bell housing  Installed a new transmission tailshaft seal.  I built a sled to drag it into place under the car and there's a bolt that fits the center of my jack through the center board. I may have to pull the shift cause there's exactly 19 inches under the pinch weld and thats the same to the shifter nub.

Oil pump and pick-up install

12/10/2018 New oil pump and pickup tube installed and torqued to spec. This ones not mangled. Next is to check oil pan pick-up clearances and warm up the gasket and drape it over the pan for a while. I am probably going to have to heat the garage for 24 hours to get the rtv to set right.
