Has anyone had their coolant bottle not line up after R&R their engine? I bought a really nice used engine and after I got it into place (tranny bolts and cradle bolts secure) I noticed the heat shield was really close to the A/C clutch. I hoped securing the heat shield would position it better but I had to fight (and lost) to get the coolant bottle intalled. I guess I could take the engine down and bend the shield all to heck but I'm sure once I line the bolts up on that go throught the shield and the motor mounts, the alignment will be off again. Anyone had this happen or have an idea what gives? It's the original heat shield and it's an 87 GL Automatic. Thanks, TJ |
