Miscellaneous Prep Work

While waiting to put the engine back together with my Dad, who I know is excited to help, I decided to tackle some of the minor task.  Firstly, I put the new throw-out (or release) bearing onto the 5speed transmission.  I also switched back over to the correct clutch fork as the new clutch I ordered is the 240z specific one.

 

I then cleaned up the engine bay and painted over the bare metal to prevent rust

 

I also got the new motor mounts installed

Had a little free time on Sunday, which allowed me to continue the small prep work...

Plugging up the old air galley holes in the exhaust manifold and the emissions holes in the carburetor balance tube.

Relocating the relays for the headlights and fuel pump over next to the battery and under the inspection door.  This will keep them out of sight and a little more protected.

And finally, I was able to start organizing the "big" parts in preparation for the engine going back together
