Transplant: Mounting ready

Having 2 Deto on a G100 gave me the impression that transplant is simple and easy, however... if the engines are from a different make, a tedious process of calibrating and alignment should occurred (at least for those who wanted to ensure a more balanced configuration in the engine compartment.

Seen here is the alignment process before placing the mounting on the chassis, the engine upon placement should be levelled so that the driveshaft will not be overly stressed when the car is landed on the ground, something that I am not aware when doing a transplant.

Basically thats whats going on for the past 1 week, nothing more except placing the brakes on the front wheel. Speaking of brakes, the new 4E brake caliper are way larger and cooler than the original charade...

Well just hope they don't jam when its on the road... Still remember there was once my old front disc brake jammed on the road for like 0.2 seconds and it caused the car to swell to the left... upon investigation it shows the single pot disc brake could jam on the cylinder due to no maintenance, definately one thing I need to do a preventive maintenance on when this car is put on the road later...

Now that the dashboard has been taken out, lets hope there will be some superlon be place on the firewall to prevent the noise from coming in... another thing to work on is seal any un-used hole in the firewall area to prevent unwanted odour from coming in, guess that will be the auxilliary project when working on the mounting.

Now that I figure out the timeline, by the time the car will be out on the road, my production will be starting to run and I have to work extensive hour in the day... that means the reliability assessment and trial on the road will have to be carefully planned and balanced, talk about work balance... Probably will be under alot of stress when it happen. Sigh, what a good timing.
