  • Wrap a socket wrench with tape and stick the handle into the pilot bearing. Works every time.

    Or... I don't remember if we have access to the pressure plate bolts once the transmission and engine are mated, but if you do, leave them somewhat loose. The clutch plate will self-align and you can tighten the pressure plate up once it's all together.

    • Not the Festiva, but I did manage to stick the Backhoe up to its' axles and belly in mud.

      After sticking the tractor up to it's axle in mud.

      They both waited until they were in the middle of the wet spot to just.... SINK. Just like that.

      FML.

      • You know, that makes so much more sense now than it might have 30 minutes ago. I need to take a week off knuckle knocking.

        Thanks, Christ.

                  • Pulled out of my parking space at work and discovered that my rear main seal is basically gone. Leaked a fourth a stick of oil just sitting over the course of eight hours. *Sigh* Saw this coming, but the timing couldn't have been worse. Ah well.. she goes to the shop this week for repairs.
                    On a positive note, though, I'm getting a turbo from Christ to install when I perform my engine swap. :thumbright:

                    • HAHAHAHAHA!
                      I put my phone into the GPS holder I have, and shot a video of a return from a delivery video tonight. My phone has horrible night video settings, and an even worse microphone, so all you really get out of the video is I have no real respect for stop signs....

                          • JJ, me and Donny (left to right). We're at Cedar Point now but this picture is from when we met at Tim Horton's this morning. Saw a guy with the same color blue Festiva too! Talked in the parking lot for a minute.

                            • Though it's yet to start, the new engine is successfully mated to the transmission. My first attempt at a lot of automotive things this week aside from general maintenance. Confident I'll be able to make it run by this evening. Thanks everyone for all your support.

                                I have to go with the Rhino Liner rather than the Plasti-Dipp. The Plasti- Dipp shows ALL imperfections while the Rhino hides them.
