Not quite there

From pcarworkshop

This article is on the final instllation of the rebuilt 993 motor.

I found that, since I don't have a fancy overhead lift is to lift the car instead...it helps if you have 14" steel I beams in the ceiling of your garage. I simply hook the back of the car up to my come-a-long and lift the butt of the car high enough so the engine will slide under...works like a charm..

I used a 4x4 across the rear frame of the body for support and some chains to wrap them.....nice and strong.

A shot of the beam and hoist...you can use a heavy engine picker as well (or so I have heard...won't guarantee that one!).

I am pushing the engine on a sliding stand underneath the rear bumper.

Now just lower the car over the engine and the engine is ready to be jacked up into the car...

My multijack system...three on the engine and one on the nose of the transmission undeneath. It allows for a fine control of the tilt and roll of the engine for that perfect alignment

....too bad my blue jacks do not reach allllll the way up so that theory get tossed and you end up with this...

And finally this...after connecting the clutch slave, throttle cable, multiple electrics, oil lines, power steering hoses, etc.

OK, ready to crank.....hold on....

The ENGINE DID NOT START. WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

I will give you some hints:

1 - Its not the battery nor the starter 2 - Its not fuel nor ignition 3 - The sound of the engine is the key. It goes BUMP...BUMP...BUMP

The solution is in the next article.
