im pulling my motor out of my 1988 gtu r there ne tips on pulling my motor or ne hazards they i might come across (my lucky number is 13)

 

Um, Don't drop the motor (I've done it) it can be very hazerdous.


Just start disconecting and labeling everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) get yourself a hoist and you're on rails......................
You might want to brush up on your typing skills also, just to be safe.

 

well im getting a new motor and its a turbo II ne sugestions of what im gonna have to take out and can i leave the power steering in the car by disconnecting the bracket from the block

 

I believe ol' Kev has a nice write-up on his site,
www.rotaryresurrection.com

I did it once, not that bad, but like above-LABEL EVERYTHING!

 

Label EVERYTHING

 

Ahh there just pansys you dont need to label EVERYTHING

 

OOPS, I meant cut everything

 

This helped me.

 

If you dont feel like labeling everything.. just label the wires and lines that have to be disconnected and moved so you can put them back in the right place... I was too lazy/ couldnt get the tape to stick b/c my hands were too greasy... but I labeled every thing that didnt stay in its original place... Hope fully when my motor goes back in It will still make sense.

 

If I haven't done a pull a couple of times, I take pictures of everything I disconnect, with either a digital camera or a disposable.

Of course I also use english when posting so more people can understand me... none of this one letter slang crap words

It saves bandwidth.

 

ive learned when pulling a motor "shadetree" style... to pull the transmission out at the same time... its alot easier to wiggle a tranny around to get it aligned with the motor than it is to wiggle a motor around to align with the splines of the tranny!!! just my .2 cents

 

lol, i was waiting for that one Mark... thanks for the laugh.

 

Well I just got over being sick this weekend now my car is up in the air. Ive drianed all the fluids and disconnected the driveshaft. My only concern is the wiring. ive have been taking pictures. Im gonna take my time on this so I dont make any mistakes like the guy who owned the car before me. You should have seen it when i go and get the car it smoked alot so I knew it Was probly gonna have to rebuild it. So right when I take the car to leave he gets in the car and revs it up to like 8000rpm. It wasnt even warmed up. Oh my god I was pissed. SO after I get it home i get on here and start posting like a week later it blows up and now im here. Well time to get back to work.

 

I decided not to get a turbo motor rite now but i did just ull my motor out like 30 minutes ago. It was like god was against me.
Every time i was working on it it started raining or snowing

 

lol, oh well i just pulled a motor this saturday. think of it this way, about 85% of **** will break if your not careful

 

Remember, on hte wiring, most of the plugs will only 'fit' in one place. If you just lay the wiring harness on top and then remove it (later in the process) and lay it gingerly in some place where it won't get messed with.....the plugs will go where they are supposed to be.

 

Its a bit late since you already removed it but ill throw in my tip for others. Remove or cover your radiator. When i pulled the motor from ym car i dodnt do this and it got all fucked up when we were tryna get it out. We didnt have a hoist though, just 4 guys a pole and some chain :-D
