You just answered your own problem :kneeslap: Seems like an easily rectifiable issue :lol:

I wish. Today they actually just layed the hammer down on shop night. Used to be every thursday 5pm till whenever one of the higher ups that has keys and knows the alarm(me and 5 other people) but not its only every other thursday, 5pm to 7pm

I doubt anyone would notice an extra engine sitting on an engine stand in the corner man. Come on, work with me. I am trying to get you some help to make Race Wars

Take those paws up north and help him swap it in! You have the most experience!

The middle one basically just holds on the bracket. The one he has that is damaged, is one of the two that hold on the alt... i think....

Pending success is pending

I don't think I would like it where he lives. I had to go to Newark today for work and I immediately felt sick when I got off the train :lol:

Lmao! please don't confuse were I live and Newark, I would not last there lmfao

It says "Meadowlands" under your name, so if that is close, it is exactly the same to me. I hate West New York, err East North Jersey, all of it, with a passion. To me, most of NJ is all the same, people packed in like sardines in too small an area, behaving like a virus, consuming all that is around. The rural parts of NJ don't make my skin crawl like the really densely populated areas, but I know it's still too close to people and now that I have experienced life as we are supposed to live it, I need to GTFO of here :cry:

Yes, it's pretty close. I just put meadowlands Bc I doubt anywhere knows we're "Carlstadt" is lmao

While I may be close on a map to Newark, it's nothing like it. If police in my town ever heard a gun shot or had to deal with a stabbing they would faint

I survived Newark, can't be that bad.

You survived McCarter highway

Went wit the helicoil method, and i think we may have had some success.

Bolt threads in nice and perfect. So today we should get back to business. May paint the alternator bracket black while its off as well, to shiney for my liking right now.

Also ran a tap threw the other holes and bell housing holes as well. Got a decent amount of crud out of them, now i can run them in all the way by hand no issue.

Nice work man, looks good. Make sure you keep the bolting surface clean if you paint **** for grounding purposes.

Nice work

Interesting. I always wondered how alternators were grounded.
