I drained the oil and coolant yesterday. I got the intake removed and off came the starter as well, though the lower bolt was difficult. I turned the engine to TDC and marked it with White-out. I almost got to remove the main pulley, but it got too dark. I have no A/C, so the remaining plumbing moves out of the way easily. I am just taking my time and taking many pics along the way to keep it organized.
Next off should be the timing covers and valve covers. Sometimes, I wish I had a shop with a engine lift and stand to rebuild this properly...
I know a newer model would be nice, but I love the classics.
More on the next episode!
p.s. Can anyone find the year of an engine by it's serial number?
Building up a bad ass 4WD GL wagon was a thought that kept jumping into my mind. I really like the idea. Maybe the next one. For this one, it only has the FWD transmission. Swapping out all those parts is just not something I have time for right now. I am just going to get her running well with what I have. Maybe in the future when I have more free time, I will look at doing another wagon, maybe even with a little lift. Sitting up on the blocks, I do really like the height.
