I decided to put a Kevlar clutch in the car. Here are some pictures of cleaning the engine and engine bay out.

Looks like you did a good job !

 

Thanks, FMU. Yeah, we used your post as homework before we got started.

**Update**

Friday we installed the CORRECT flywheel and kevlar clutch. Saturday, transmission fluid was topped off and then in went the engine. We had a problem trying to get the engine mount bolts in after mount the transmission. After finalgling for a while, we decided to call it a night. Sunday morning, the transmission was unmounted and we bolted the engine up first. Easy peasy. In hindsight, it makes sense that it worked because it was reverse order of removing the engine and transmission. Power steering fluid was topped off and the rear engine... brace was installed. Protip: When installing the rear brace, make sure the car is not on its wheels. The weight of the engine cause just enough flex in rear to make it impossible to get the brace in. That was it for the last weekend. Next up, clutch/brake fluid (the tool didn't arrive until Monday), coolant, the final part of the exhaust and misc panels. We are getting close!!


Kevlar!!!!

Amazing job to dig into ... Great photos. Talk about bonding time with your car!!

 

Great work!
The photos are so nice. Much better than the grimey iphone pics I post from working on cars. lol

Going RWD in the Murci is simple and totally worth it IMO.

 

Gutsiest move I ever saw man.

Congratulations on doing it yourself. Very impressive

 

wow, impressive work!

 

wow great job!

 

Go out and buy yourself an AP with the money you saved yourself

 

Got to love it when you go to the "book" and see engine removal for a sparkplug service.

Did you get some sort of cover plate made to cover the shaft removal for the front wheel drive input into the transmission.

 

Thanks for the write-up.
