Richard Avedon? Gordon Ramsay? Andy Warhol? Hunter S. Thompson? Ernest Hemmingway? Colin Chapman? Virgil Exner? Tom Werkan? Ok? I give up!
Or maybe you could shove that can(empty) in the back of the compressor housing to close out the back side(and collect dirt, water and possibly mud daubers/wasps and other vermin)?
Maybe fill it full of insulating foam and fill all remaining openings with rubber plugs, silicone sealant or bondo? Paint it caution yellow/black zebra stripes and claim it's the power supply for your Flux Capacitor?

 

[Ark :D]

I was gonna guess Abraham Lincoln.

I was gonna guess Abraham Lincoln.

My real guesses were Nicola Tesla?, Neil Armstrong?, Elon Musk? or Prometheus? In that order.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Pump-can...hmm, maybe a Halloween theme? Or maybe water tomatoes?

 

[Ross]

I like ah.b.normal idea:
" ... shove that can(empty) in the back of the compressor housing to close out the back side(and collect dirt, water
... and fill all remaining openings with rubber plugs, silicone sealant "

Now if only we could figure out who's foot steps you are following in.
Maybe Elon Musk... since SpaceX did their suborbital flight #2 today?

 

[ah.b.normal]

I was actually afraid he was going to try to clean that part with canned tomatoes!? Someone on this forum used a #5 steel can to seal off the back of their new A/C delete idler pulley. I cannot recall the originator but I know it was not Andy Warhol or Ernest Hemmingway. Robert Goddard?, naah, nobody asked him.{Werner V. Braun's inspiration, pioneer of multi-stage liquid rocketry. 10+ years ahead of his time.} US military told him to go pound sand. Same as they told those brothers from Ohio and their "airplane". And some folks want Govt run healthcare??? The govt can't even find Sasquatch!

For you new guys that have not gone thru Ross’s build from start to finish you may have missed this.

So installing transmision back on after replacing clutch is not a simple one man task with engine handling from engine hoist

Anyone have some technique on methods to do it?

Lower the engine to the ground?
Use small straps to hold the engine in place while you push the trans on?

 

[Jareth]

Not sure I’m following you, if engine is on the ground, I don’t imagine it going to move with how much it weighs, how do straps come into play?

 

[Ark :D]

Secure it to a support beam or something.

I just had engine settings on a pallet, strapped down, and man handled the transmission.

I suspect your not 62 years old

 

[Jareth]

Ok so let’s assume that my age has taught me also to work smarter, I put a 2x4 across the legs of the lift and slowly lowered the engine down and to the back so that 2x4 had the engine tlilted at an angl so even though I had to power lift the transmission up, it was easier to lower it down on the engine and align the bolt hole’s allowing gravity to hep me.

 

[Jareth]

No way I could put the engine looking like this so I did my version of an "Earl Scheib $29.95 Paint Job" Taped off what I could, hit it with primer and then some “Ceramic - Cast Coat Iron”

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

I remember Earl's ads when I was a kid, "I'll paint any car, any color, for $29.95"...and the fine print for the extra $39 and up for prep work (unless you did it yourself) - otherwise the whole car including windows, trim, bumpers, wheels, lights would get painted.

And I thought I was old remembering Earl's $99.95 ads.

 

[Jareth]

Is there components in one of my boxes for mounting this?

 

[comegetjoe]

Im a TC, but if they're the same heat exchanger, I had two brackets like pictured.

 

[Jareth]

Thanks, been taking so long to geter done I forget what’s in all the boxes.
