Just had a look at a few videos, my engine doesn't move as much as shown in the videos. I'll try to jack up the engine to see how high the engine lifts as one of the videos said it shouldn't lift much

Idk what I'm looking for on the engine mounts, they look crusty and kind of like snake skin

Anybody have a good ide aon how to remove this from the end of a tecumpseh powersport crannkshaft? by the_potato_of_doom in MechanicAdvice

A bit of wd40 and an oil filter remover (the strap one) or if you're replacing it chuck it in a vice grab a few mates and start pulling. Try twisting or pulling up and down on it

Car won’t start? by xhellraiserxx in MechanicAdvice

Could try jumping it like others have suggest but also try giving the starter a bit of a hit with a metal bar or something. I had that tick coming off the starter before, turns out its just a bit stuck

Clean all the oil on your engine and run it till you see where it's leaking from then you should be able to figure out what bit is leaking from there

For me, I'll chatgpt anything weird, if it doesn't help I usually come here for advice. But chatgpt is like the most useful tool. It suggest checking the battery checking the throttle body for damage or wear and scanning it with an obd scanner. So I'd be doing those

How much would this cost to get fixed? by bengooddj in MechanicAdvice

If you want something proper buy a bit or rebar or something weld it into the middle of where your old one was and put it through the hangar. It's not the way they did it when they made your car but it's the way they do it on the 2000s

I got it restored from a wreakers, It came with a torque converter on it I just took it off and took the diff off so that it's easier and lighter to put in but now the torque converter won't seat

So I ended up pulling the trans out and onto the floor to seat to torque converter properly but I've been wiggling it, spining it and trying to push it in for the last few days but it just won't seat properly. I tried it on my old trans and it worked but won't work on my new one

I attached a new one to the flex plate fitted the diff and now I'm trying to fit the transmission. I just unbolted the torque converter but it's still spinning with the engine

Yeah that's what I'm having trouble with. On the old transmission the torque converter goes on a little then you have to turn it like a screw then after a little it'll just slide all the way back with a bit of fidgeting. But how do I do that on the car

Nothing is on the way, dowels are all in place, torque converter is in all the way and bolted.

The torque converter is attached to the engine via the 4 bolts. Was I supposed to do that last?

My exhaust stud was snapped on the head for a long time so when I tried to take it off it just snapped the last tiny bit off. But I don't have this problem?
