Part VI - Installing the New Motor (Part II)

With the weekend finally here, we set out to finish the job and get the car to run. We encountered some issues with the tensioner and timing belt, but got it sorted out. With everything put back in to place, we put the oil and coolant in their reservoirs and started the car. It started up, but quickly shut back off. We had to give it a little gas and keep it from stalling for a bit. Once the fluids had circulated the system enough, the car was idling just fine. There's still work to be done, but I was able to bring the car home. All credit goes to William for basically everything. From knowledge, expertise, and problem-solving skills, to hard work, early mornings, and late nights, this man has brought the car back from the dead.

Mostly everything back in.

Put all the belts on.

The car is aliiiiiive! 

Finally home where she belongs.
