I'm swamped with school so I won't be working on the Geo again till Friday. But in the mean time I'll try to upload a vid of the pull. I get so wrapped up in working that I never take pictures... So a video will have to suffice

Interesting. When I first saw it, in the avatar size, I thought is was an "ET" type thing. You know, the kids riding the flying bike in front of the moon? Ah the ol' pipe dream Geo.

Welcome t your new forum, Metro Express! Yeah, I wish I had replaced my clutch when I did my swap. With the manifolds off you can port the manifolds if you can spend some time grinding some metal. If you have an EGR then clean the port through the block and both the intake and exhaust manifolds. Anyway, good luck with the project.

It gets clogged with carbon, if your car has an EGR system it probably needs cleaning, if it does not have EGR don't worry about it. |

2 minutes and 26 seconds for an engine removal. What took you guys so long? JM would have done it in under 2 minutes. Hehe. The engine bay looks naked without an engine in it. |

Thanks for the tip. It is equipped with EGR so I'll have to do that while I have it out. This will all be added to this weekends project. My odds of having it back together by saturday night keep dropping as I add more things to the "todo" list

That was so cool! Ratchet Strap, with minimal wrestle, and it's out! Porting, or port matching, is removing material so the ports aline. Benefit is less restricted flow. I used the exhaust manifold gasket as a template. Marked the manifold and used a dremel to enlarge & smooth. I can post pics or you can view the results in the Little Red with Heart thread. Nice work! Please show us more.
