It had low compression so I took it out and had it rebuilt.

 

Ahh... what was the compression rated at?

 

Dave, I still have your engine stand. I am gonna drop by on Sunday evening around 5-6pm to drop it off. Is that cool with you?

 

Yea Justin that is good. If I am not here just leave it by the garage door. Thanks man.

 

Still no dice Dave - wrenched another bearing seal when we were sure everything was lined up nice and even :\

 

Is it Spring yet?

 

I have to believe then that the bearing is somehow not being installed or seated properly? I'll see if I can find out excatly how that should be installed. I will look through my FSM too. I have never had those issues with mine and I never was very carefull about the angle of the input shaft when installing my trans. So for yours to be giving such a hard time doesn't seem right. I'll let you know what I can find.

Mibad, No spring in sight.. You got to get some mudslingers so you can enjoy all the wet cold weather.

 

I agree Dave - I must be ******* something up. I checked the clutch section and it says on page H-19 that the bearing should be seated .453-.482" as an insertion depth. So I'm guessing that means the end of the bearing should be that far into the e-shaft? If so mine is definitely not in that far. What's your take on that?

 

Well did you get it done yet?

 

havent tried yet - been out of town, just got back last night...

 

Well I would just make ceratin you have the bearing installed to the proper depth this time before attempting to re-install the trans. Once you have the bearing in correctly it should be a breeze. I would have had it in for you if that bearing was not done wrong. I would not waste you time waiting on ricky to help you. Once you get the bearing in your other buddy Ryan could definitely get the trans up in there for you.

 

True True - I'ma try here in a bit once my heater warms up my garage...

 

hey hey hey im comming back to md for a while... tuition at clemson is too expencive and my major change to marketing is big enough to be done back in md at towson. so anyone wanna do a meet in december?

 

I'm down. I guess Towson will give you a discount for being a Md resident?

 

oh yeah! im gonna be saving lik 23k a year by moving back

 

Well I can see why you would want to come back. Did you guys not price it out in advance? Not that it's any of my business.

 

well i had but i had also expected to keep with engineering. Now im thinking that engineering for me is more along the lines of an automotive hobby. Clemson is a great school for both majors but in MD i couldnt really find an engineering program that i liked.

Beyond that the general way of life down here is diffrent than im used to and i really prefer the way people are up north to this part of the south.

 

yeah, but you don't have as many ******* drivers here in MD compared to south+north carolina.

 

I like the south. I'm moving back..

 

I'd like to go a little farther south, like St. Croix.
I wanted to be an engineer, but I think my family is missing the all important math gene. I made it through calc 1 and said "maybe I'll do computers!"
You'll be saving your parents a boatload of cash by going to MD. Maybe they'll let you spend some of it on the 7. ; )

 

Hope you guys have a Happy Turkey Day. I am gonna pig the hell out at TWO HOUSES, and watch football and get plastered off of wine!

 

Thanks for getting the engine stand back Justin. My dad told me it showed up yesterday.

Did you guys see the rx7.com car on Pinks last night?

 

No problem Dave. I dropped it off Wednesday morning before work.
