Zach Week 3
This week I have been Preparing the engine bay for the new engine. I started the week by removing the coolant hoses and electrical that was left over from the old engine. This is the coolant junction and the electrical box in the engine bay after all the old hoses and wires have been removed. Coolant hoses on the right and electrical box on the left.
These are all the hoses and electrical that I removed. I haven't removed the main wiring harness plug end yet because it is stuck under the rear seat. I just cut the wiring harness out because we are replacing it anyway.
I mounted the new coolant reservoir into the engine bay. On the right side of the reservoir there are engravings, an L for the coolant level sensor and a T for the coolant temp sensor. The level sensor is mounted above the temp sensor. I used a level and I pre-drilled holes to make sure the reservoir fit correctly. I then bolted it into place.
The next step is to mount all the mounts for the muffler, I will do this on Monday but I organized all the parts and tools I will need already.
