Day two....of the swap
Well, a buddy of mine told me that this KA-KA swap would be a simple cake walk....
it's not.
we had problem's all day yesterday...but we finally got the old blown out motor out...and I mean blown out motor......the rod has left the block kind of blow out......
The connectiong rod decided it didn't want to stay inside the engine anymore...
The rod has left the block
Anyways, it's to the point that we need to lower the fresh engine, with the fresh clutch into the engine bay, and bolt up the trany to it, and bolt the car to the frame...then reconnect everything.
More food is on the way...and all the help would be very welcome.

It was a 240 KA!??!?! Shit! I should have helped! I'm REALLY good at that swap! I thought it was an RSX with a blown motor! Shit! We had Riot's KA out and his SR20 in, in about 8 hours, and that included the mounts not lining up...
Sorry guys...
you are the biggest RETARD ever.
reading is FUNdamental.
is the subtitle you moron.
not yet....
Still have the exhaust to install and connect, the driveshaft to connect, the trany to bolt up and sevice, the shifter need to be installed, a few more connections here and there, the oil filter needs to go on, the rad needs to be installed, a few more items to tighten down, and then fill with the proper fluids...and cross our fingers
It should be done tommorrow

good luck guys\!!!
well...Someone stepped on the clutch pedal when the slave cylinder was disconnected, so the piston on the slave popped out, as I was just going to open the bleeder and push the piston back in, the bleeder broke off, due to rust....so I'm either going to try to get the remaines of the bleeder out tommorrow, or Dan will just get a new slave cylinder.....
All thats basically left is one bolt on the cat, one more time going around all hoses and connections, fill the tranny, and slap the shifter back on. Then it should be ready to crank and watch for leaks...and hope the motor he got runs decently...if it runs then he'll have a decent car for quite a while...nothing like a fresher engine, new O2 sensor, A/F guage, New clutch, and fresh fluids all the way around.
