SD Engine Cradle/Dolly

2005-08-19 Thread Falcon556
Can anyone tell me where I can find and engine cradle or engine dolly for a 2.2. Most of the ones I find are for V8's. I am pulling the 2.2 out of my 89 Shelby and I want to leave the transmission attached, so I can't use a engine stand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I built my own. Works great. I have 4 of them now for most of the spare drivetrains I own. To start, I bought a padded furniture dolly, then picked a piece of 3/4 plywood (Rampages are great for this kind of project, lol). Cut the plywood to the width of the dolly/drivetrain and cut it to the

I've never seen a 2.2 specific engine dolly, most are for small block chevys. There are some universal fit ones out there, but even those don't look they would work very well for a 2.2. I have some homemade dollys that I use, they started life as a large hypothermia therapy machine, I saved

Hi All, My 90 TI shelby Daytona has bad differential bearings. I just replaced a seal on the drivers side last night and found lots of metal flakes. The tranny is still working OK but I need to get this corrected as soon as possible. The magnet in the tranny is only going to catch so much

SD Turbo Shaft Freeplay

2005-08-19 Thread SPIRITinFRONT
Hey Guys. I was wondering what is the maximum allowable amount of freeplay for a turbo shaft. Whether it is fore and aft or side to side. I would like to know if the turbo needs to be rebuilt before I do anything else to the car. That way I will just do a valve job etc...at the

1/8-1/4 is normal after the oil pressure has bleed down on an older turbo. Be very wary of turbos with lots of end play, that's when they'll tend to be considered long for this world. Good luck, Stefan Mullikin Portland, OR Co-Founder PNW-SDAC http://www.pnw-sdac.org 1980 Fiat X-1/9 1984 Dodge

Two years ago I replaced my clutch in my 87 t2 Daytona and saw the same thing. Took the differential assembly to a NAPA machine shop with a set of new bearings and 40 dollars later the old bearings were pressed out and the new bearings were in. Over it wasn't hard just tedious, didnt have to

Changing the bearings arent quite as easy as it looks. The races need to be replaced at the same time, or the bearings will wear out prematurely. On top of that, when you replace bearings, you change the clearances of the bearings, and there can be too much or not enough load on the bearings
