I just did a engine swap today, reccord time, 4.5 hours, 2.1L. Broke that stupid coolant distributor. Anyway, i have the missing pictures for the getting out and getting in procedure.. as for bleeding, i just don't bleed the van anymore, in most case, when the rear of van is in the air, there no reason to bleed it, 1.9 and 2.1. I'll do a 2.1L and add some comments on 1.9L with time... Anyway, i'm putting this section to give some hints about the job, that mean that if you are ready to do that job yourself, you should not need this section that much, just a few trick and some do and don't. Anyone who want to go there need a minimum of tools and knowledge. The donnor engine was not hold, about 60k mile, men it run so smooth... there was a time that they run great. Cheers, Ben |
