Not a lot accomplished today.  I was struggling right from the starting gate. 

We verified that the crankshaft is internally balanced by the casting number on the rear throw.  I have a new neutral balanced crankshaft flywheel and bolts waiting to be installed once we pull it off the stand.  Chased the threads in the timing cover housing in preparation for installing the water pump.  Got the oil pan installed.

We're going to be piddling with the 86 engine again this Saturday, May 23.  Come on over if you want to watch or give direction or just have donuts and coffee with us and keep us company. 

Speak up if you're coming so I know how many dozen Krispy Kreme donuts to get.

I'll be there. A dozen donuts per person should be fine.

I'm really grateful for all the help and input from everyone.  I probably could have eventually gotten it done but it would have been a very long time.  With all this help, it's only fitting that the car will be used as a loaner car for anyone needing it. 

We also have the clutch to replace in Scott's Formula 4.9.  Then drop the engine in the Aqua Fastback and put it into Scott's 86SE.  For anyone wanting to know a little more about the inner workings of the Fiero, just come and watch.  Keep everyone else company.
