I mentioned in my last post in this series that I broke a motor mount boss stud off, well, it turned out to be a pretty involved process to get it repaired.\u00a0 When\u00a0I mentioned the problem to ‘expert’ friends they all said ‘Oh, those studs never want to come out’ well, I broke it off installing\u00a0 a new one, not removing the old, bent stripped stud.\u00a0 I’ve broken studs off before on other rebuilds and was ready with the usual arsenal of tricks.<\/p>\n

First I tried simply grabbing the remaining piece with Vise-grips, no good.\u00a0 Then I drilled it out and used an easy out seen below, I couldn’t get a grip on it so I welded a nut to the easy out, the easy out broke at the weld.\u00a0 I got a bigger easy out and tried to turn it, it was resistant despite\u00a0a lot of force.\u00a0 I heated the boss and tried again, this time the corner of the boss cracked.<\/p>\n

\"easy-out-stage\"Here I am at the first attempt, the easy out wasn’t so easy and even with a nut welded to the end it wouldn’t turn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"heating-up-boss\"Step three was a bigger easy out with heat.\u00a0 All I managed to do was crack the corner of the boss.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once I cracked the boss I decided it was time to get expert assistance.\u00a0 I Dremeled out as much of the stud as I could, disassembled a bunch of the engine and took it in the trunk of the Berlina to an appointment I made with Glenn to weld up the crack.\u00a0 He Dremeled the rest of the stud out, welded up the crack, installed a Helicoil, accepted a check for $50 (labor and a thermostat cover) and helped me get it back in the trunk.\u00a0 Expert assistance is under rated!<\/p>\n

\"engine-transport\"Here I am back at the shop getting ready to unload the engine.\u00a0 Fortunately there is an engine hoist in the shop\u00a0so this is a one man job.\u00a0 Berlina was on the bump stops\u00a0 when I drove with the engine in the trunk.\u00a0 In a perfect world I would give it new springs and shocks as I suspect they are worn out, but that would cut in to my Sprint\/SS budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"repair-done\"Here I am, back where I was a week ago, getting ready to install the engine mount.\u00a0 Note the finishing machine cut on the edge of the block when they cut the engine\u00a0mount\u00a0boss face smooth.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"starter-installed\"I had installed the flywheel without aligning the timing marks so I used the disassembly required by the transport as an excuse to remedy this so I took it back off and aligned it.\u00a0 When reinstalling the clutch\u00a0I noticed some alignment marks between the clutch and flywheel which I aligned.\u00a0 As can be seen here, I need to paint the starter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"breather-repaired-and-installed\"This is the 750\/101\u00a0 1300 breather.\u00a0 Mine was cracked so I dropped it off and Dennis at NRG welded up the crack and smoothed it out.\u00a0 $20\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

What is left to do you ask?\u00a0 Well, my\u00a0Lucas distributor was deemed unfixable by Jaan so I need a new disributor, hopefully a Bosch unit will surface (anyone?).\u00a0 The exhaust side engine mount still needs to be installed as do the rest of the oil pan bolts.\u00a0 I need to\u00a0get a big hose clamp to try and compress the Giubo and test fit it before I make it an under car operation.\u00a0\u00a0 I still need to paint the starter and alternator bracket.\u00a0 Oh, and I need to decide if I am going to install a mechanical fuel pump and cap it off as a back up in case the Facet dies again when I am out in the wilds on a rally.\u00a0 I am hoping to begin the install late this week.<\/p>\n
