#@$%#@$#@$#@$#@$#@$ Front Cover

BrandonB · Apr 15, 2014

I think I might have found a front cover online but somewhat close for $40 at a online junk yard. Depending on availability and condition I might be able to finish this thing up this week after all!

Found a front cover for $40 + $25 shipping from Rogers, Arkansas. Should have it here tomorrow or Friday!

New cover came in today from the online junk yard - ended up being off a 98 F-150. Yanked everything back off and put the new cover on and now i'm back to moving forward. Only took me 2 hours to pull off the stuff I put back on and replace the front cover. Hopefully will get it put all back together and running tomorrow!

hopefully you don't have to take it apart again

If that happens i'll be beyond pissed. This vehicle so far has plagued me. The last several vehicles i've had that i've tore into the engine on i've never had these kind of problems.

the first thing that goes when you get older is the mind but I thought you liked a scavenger hiunt

Finding missing pieces and what bolt goes where is a scavenger hunt, breaking things isn't.

Speaking of broken things. Noticed when I went to put the harmonic balancer on the end of the crank bolt is jacked up and missing a few threads. Looks like i'm going junk yarding' tomorrow.

Run a tap into the hole first to clean up the threads then spray it out with solvent to get any metal out. Use some form of lube on the new bolt You may also want to run a die over the new bolt.

But I kind of figure you already know this

Yeah I picked up a tap to run through it - couldn't find a 12mm 1.50 anywhere to buy individually so I just did the autozone loan-a-tool set. The only thing I can't seem to find is the bolt... No dealers in the area had it and the junk yard I stopped by didn't either. So I get to order one from the dealer on Monday.
