I'm sorry.  I thought I put the bedpan back underneath its pee port.

I need to fog the cylinders in the replacement engine.  Ideally, inspection with a bore scope would be the thing to do.   

I've been thinking about just leaving the pan and timing cover on the engine and just swapping out the water pump, sensor switches and the valve covers, intake, fuel rail and injectors and vacuum lines.  It would make things easier and quicker.  I do want to swap out most of my brackets since they're cleaner than what's on the replacement engine.  And I have to swap the front exhaust manifold. 

I need to bring some painter's tape to tape over the intake like I should have done before. 

I can work on my engine while you guys address other things.

Have you got access to one? I've got one, of sorts. It told me "bugger all" when I was looking for dents in the Honda's pistons, though. (When the timing belt broke and introduced the valves to the pistons.) Turns out, there were no real dents to see.

But it may work for looking at cylinder walls.

That would be good.  Thanks. 

Now, does anyone have the timing gear cover clamp used when replacing the water pump?  I've decided I'm going to leave the 86 cover and pan on the engine and just swap water pumps.

You can make the clamp fairly easily, if not available.

I have a large number of pullers I can bring, or is this something special?

There is a picture of the clamp on page 10 of the February 2020 newsletter.

The clamp is used to keep the timing cover from breaking the seal to the block when the water pump is replaced.  If the seal is broken, coolant can get into the crankcase and you end up with an engine similar to what's currently in the car.  Some water pumps come with the clamp.  Many don't. 

Anybody got one?  I just checked with Pat and he doesn't.

I just received my clamp.  Came in from Hendersonvile, NC, wrapped in an Ingles sales paper.

So you not only have a clamp, but you know which groceries are on sale. ;)
