Hi, Guest
[attachment=915]This is a follow up to let everyone know I've installed the replacement engine, drive shafts and repaired the transmission cooling lines. It looks good to see everything back in and the hood back on.
However, (there has to be a however, unfortunately), everything doesn't work as it once did.
The battery light is on. The air bag light is on. The line to the power steering pump leaks at the connection to the pump. The passenger side drive shaft extension wouldn't go all the way back into the transmission, it's out by about 5mm. And the worst part is the starter, which worked before I removed it, only clicks on the turn of the key to an engine that won't turn over. The crank seems jammed. Probably due to how the tork converter was bolted to the engine.
So, I have to: 1. find out why the engine crank won't turn. 2. fix the leak at the power steering pump. 3. find out why the battery light is on. 4. find out why the air bag light is on. 5. be glad my 1985 GM full size wagon just keeps on going, and going.

It takes more than talk to get things done.
