Thank god for the Roveritis support network that is this forum (or rather you, via Vern and all those first time virus contractors dim wittedness clearly documented to alarm unsuspecting newcomers so as to avoid making the same mistakes as they have, or asking the dumb questions that we need the answers too:eek:)
At times, like perhaps Boxing day while stuck somewhere between Carlsrue and Lancefeild with the side of my 700 open to the universe and 6 litres of tranny fluid sprayed over every inch of my underside, fully loaded up, trailer on, Wife, kids and dog in tow, I stop to ponder ... Should I thank Vern for passing on this bloody disease or hit him on the head with a shovel ?......
Ofcourse it aint all bad...:angel:
Cheers mate enjoy the western district and all it has to offer...;)
OK - Will get that wednesday next week.Quote:

Yep
You need to fit them in where the bellhousing bolts go, somewhere around 3 and 9 0'clock,
Yeah - we tried that with the bell housing bolts to help locate it all the past 7 times :) dont get me wrong I printed your instructions each time we did it :)
You need to make sure the torque convertor is seated correctly
Yep - that is all in :)
You need to make sure the 2 dowels are in their correct places, otherwise it ain;t pretty, you've seen these dowel? little hollow sleeve things?
Yep - locating lugs
Then load the motor in, line the headless bolts in with the corresponding holes and push on the motor, it gets a little tricky here at times, but that can be overcome
What you need to observe is the mating faces of the block are coming together relatively even, as in same gap top and bottom etc, this can be altered by....Jacking the transmission up/down, man handling the engine, or with a nice little jigger you can buy, that alters the angle of the engine
Then push, wiggle, swear, scream until it fits together, it should, with a little effort, hold the two faces together and you should then be able to get some bolts in......remember how much fun they were to remove?:D
Make sense?
Yep- its what we have done each time :( actually removing those bolts wasn't so bad at all :) torque wench & breaker bar.
Yep I wish I was at that point about 7 months ago lol :)Quote:
Once you've achieved that, the torque convertor should slide up home, via the little inspection cover underneath the bellhousing, finger or screwdriver here wille suffice, then rotate it to line up the flex plate bolts, fit these via turning the motor over from the front of the crank for access
Lunch - BBQ - Beer & bottles of rum are all here!!! :D :cool:Quote:

so if anyone is willing :D
This is where you need the headless bolts/locators , you don't want to be pulling the block towards the box with the boltsQuote:

[QUOTE=RaZz0R;1151245]OK - Will get that wednesday next week.
i hope you weren't trying to drop it in by hand? :o
All makes for a good story, what fun would it be if you had a trouble free trip?:DQuote:

Rovercare - yeah I understand it all... guess if I am going to try it myself one last time I want it in or I will just be disappointed again lol :D a grand to get her in & running was sounding like a good deal to me lol.
I think in your case it sounds the best option, I mean, your going to spend quarter that on a craneQuote:

Any ideas where I should go for a spring & body lift?? Need them for the boots I got on her still & the long range fuel tank - been told I need a body lift to fit her.
