Thank god you're using mounts and not the stupid cross-member swap! As cheap as the Ruckus and McKinney basic mount kits are now, there is no reason not to get mounts that sit the motor correctly in the car.

Looking good so far, just don't cheap out on anything now that you have the car torn down. You don't want to do things twice.

finally dropped the motor in


And somehow i didnt see this before but i think the bellhousing metal plate might be messed up because i can clearly see the innerside of my flywheel.
what am i to do??

[mestizo]

Just looks like the dust cover got bent, you can bang it back flat or use some bolts thru the bell housing to straighten it back out.

well what i was meaning was everything in the red is my flywheel...wouldnt you want that pertected a little better like the ka one.
mine

KA
part pointing to looks like the piece im missing

Ahh, ok I didn't notice the hole the first time I looked at the pic. I thought it was just bent lol. You can just some sheet metal, cut it to shape and epoxy it on to cover that hole up. Other wise its pull the tranny and flywheel to put another cover on.

EDIT:found out could have been the "white bunny mod"
D21 Truck Flywheel
Nissan 280Z Turbo/Z31 300zx/any Nissan clutch disc

the flywheel would rub on the metal plate
