Re: Engine Replacement Day 1!!

All,
When taking out the engine, is it necessary to take the trans with it, or am I able to just remove the engine block?

Re: Unidentifiable hose?!!

Petros,

Thats what I was thinking also, but it doesnt fit on either port that is under there, or maybe I am just being a sissy when I am trying to put it on!! Do you know which side it supposed to go to what?

Re: seat and upholstery (seat cover) removal

When you were putting the fabric back on the seats, did you use the same 2 million little metal pieces that you pulled off, or did you use something else, my seat covers are currently on round two in the washer and I was thinking about using heavy duty zip strips, any ideas?
