ACT clutch kit installed!

Here is what she looks like on the flywheel!

I think everything hooked up right looked kind of flat...

I can't wait to try it out!

I could say the same for me...In the next week or so. My ACT Clutch was the last component needed for my TII Conversion. http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?0=206&1=241&3=17 All the accumulated parts will be dropped In the next week or so.

That's exactly how it should look.

Thanks Guy's!

The rain has stopped for now, but this is the wet coast so it'll be back!

Today may be the day, I'll post a pic or 2 once it's in

Thank's for the confirmation Sean.

/me hides after shameless plug

Actualy one of the only "bad" things about the ACT is that it's hidden so you can't see how cool it looks when you bolt it back together

Looks great man!

Hey, one question... did you assemble everything onto that engine (short block--->long block)... or was that engine just pulled out to put the clutch in.. im asking because im going to be dropping a fresh rebuild into mine next week.. and im just wondering how difficult it was to get everything on the engine..

BTW.. Very clean engine. nice work.

Justin

Thanks Mx6-Rx7 Addict,

Yes, I installed everything back onto the engine, I got the short block from Mazda, cleaned everything that I had from my original engine and then painted some pieces, even re-wrapped the wiring harness.

I took about a month of working every other day in the evenings to get it to the point you see in the picture. As for the difficulty, depends on whether you took off the original bits and how good your memory is

I took a lot of digital pictures of the engine as I removed the pieces so that I had a reference. As long as you are patient and put things back in order I wouldn't say that it is hard, just time consuming and a bit tedious

If you take the route I did and detail everything that goes back count on about double what I estimated above
