Putting in my engine this weekend. The B18B motor with manual trans.
Wondering if anyone has experience, such they can advise having alt, p/s, a/c pumps and brackets on when u drop it in? Also, seems to me easier to bolt on exhaust and intake before dropping in as well?
My evergreen gasket kit came with 2 intake manifold gaskets. Anyone know how to select the most appropriate kind? One is very thin, paper, the other is built up of 3 - inside and outside thin paper, middle gasket is fairly thick.
Exahust gasket has indentation on ports, and wondering which mating side this is for?
I personally think putting all the acc’s on first is a lot easier then trying to put all that stuff on while its in the engine bay. I also leave the back t bracket off untill I have the motor where it needs to be then I maneuver it in there
the paper gasket is the IM gasket and the 3 layered one is for the exhaust. well that usually the case anyways, not sure about the markings on it. can you post a picture.
Remove the crank pully before installing. For 2 reasons 1) so you don’t break one of the drive belt lips off and 2) gives about 2 1/2 inches of extra space on the drivers side.
