A New Whatever - MCR14 Break in.

[Wermz84]

Started assembling today.   

Pilot bearing only took 2 minutes to put in, but 2 hours to get out. 

Got the fly wheel bolted up (80ft-lb's), cleaned the surface with some acetone just in case my greasy hands got on there, and the Marlin clutch and plate on (14ft-lb's).   I had to rig a socket on the harmonic balancer to keep the engine from spinning while getting the torque spec on the fly wheel bolts.




Tomorrow I find someone with a vice and swap out the throw out bearing and start putting my new tranny in.

Just find a socket that fits inside the bearing and use two 2x4's on end then drive out the sleve with a hammer.

When you hammer the new bearing back on make sure you don't hit the outer part that rest against the pressure plate. use a bigger socket or something to push against the inner bearing race. That way you don't damage the bearing.

i just pressed it on with a mallet and a 4x4 to spread the load... taking off the old one, i just found a socket just bigger than the forkears and just smaller than the inside and smacked it with a hammer... haha, i need to buy a vice, lol

Ya it was gorgeous here on Sunday alright, glad you had a good time.     whens your shakedown run? and what day are you heading up to the roundup?

[Tallchevy]

I want to go out the weekend of the 1st or 8th, not sur yet. A buddy has a house in Tahoe so we're leaving Friday afternoon & staying at his pad, then head in on Saturday morning to the springs.

[Wermz84]

Let me know what weekend you go, maybee I can tag along.   


But for sure see you at the roundup.   

[Wermz84]

Sealing the transmission to the the transfer case??

I have the toyota paper thin gasket.  Should I use some RTV blue silicone or something with this?  I don't remember last time.

if you use anything I would recommend Hi-Tack.  If you go the sillycone route, ultra grey or ultra black.

No sillycone with gaskets., either sillycone by it self, or gaskets with hytack.

[Wermz84]

Thanks guys!    I'm not taking any chances given the deadline.   


it just doesnt seem like that paper could hold anything.  Running to Winchester now!

[Wermz84]

So tired.       


So here is what I got done tonight.  A buddy came over and we lifted the tranny in.    The T-case I did by myself.  Lifted it on a jack until it was around the right hight.  Then I got under and lifted it and slid it into position on the tranny tail.  I hope I didnt damage the little oil seal cause it was getting dark and I was in a hurry.    I guess I'll find out.

Good lord, that's clean.

[Wermz84]

Until the first time I take it out.
