as the bolt that goes through the timing case is the one thats leaking oil at the moment..
i was thinking of leaving the steel bracket out as the bolt that is in there is to short to use with the steel bracket! |
Hey Troy, I will have look in the morning.

Troy.
My car has a metal bar that runs from the top bolt of the alternator up to the Power Steering bracket. Photo included.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
BenJ

thanks ben.
i had it going to the one below that one..lol
ok back to it now i got to grind the lower spacers for the air con pump as the pump sits a few mm to far away and the belt just fits on when it is at maximum..
re-locate that steel support and put the bumper back on..

its almost ready to drive again..
but i have an issue with oil leaking from the lower front bolt on the power steering bracket.. its the bolt that runs through the top of the timing case.
ive packed the hole with silicone and i took it for a drive with no front end on it lol..
but its still leaking?
so ive removed the same bolt again cleaned as much of the oil out as i could and re packed the hole with and covered the bolt with silicone..
ill let it sit over night and see what happens??
on the up side ive noticed that the engine is quieter,its more responsive(less drag on the pullies?)the power steering is easier to steer for some reason?
and there is no more voltage loss when the thermo fans come on..
so other than the oil leak im very happy with the result..
i would recomend doing it to the ea/ed its a nice mod..

I think thats a case of everything-went-smoothly-when-you-had-the-car-to-bits-so-it-had-to-create-its-own-problem-itus.
Fairly common.
But yeah I think its a wait and see situation 
EDIT: And woo about the extra power to the fans and powersteering

Yeah thats something I'm going to have to eventually worry about :p
Right now my aircon doesn't work because of the hack job the previous owner did of taking it out, which means I'll need to get a complete system to install it again -_-

well ive been qouted $250.. 
thats new rubber o rings for the pump and tx valve fittings
new reciever dryer (for new type r134 gas) oil+regas..
if it had already been converted to the new r134 type gas it would have only cost $100 for the gas..
but because all the lines have been undone and the o rings are 19 years old its best to replace them .

well i had a set back today the high pressure power steering hose started to leak bad!
im not sure if ef power steering runs higher pressure than ea?
or its just that the hose decided to go because it was old?
i know benj had the same problem with his power steering hose after his engine conversion..
anyway the new hose cost $65 from peps..
once again its all good.. for now lol...

is it the higher pressure from the bigger pulley?
that is something I wasn't expecting to have to buy, have to put it on the list of things to get when I'm stripping bits of the next EL.

actually its the oposite.. the larger pulley turns slower!
but its definatly something to look at ..
if your driving around and the hose bursts your in trouble.
there now is only one belt! (thats one down side to the serpentine belt lol).
so no power steering fluid mean the power steering pump will die/sieze fast.
and if you were to keep driving the belt would soon fry and then no water pump or alternator will stop you in your tracks.. 
like i said before it could have just been a coincidence?
but im just glad it happened before our cruise this afternoon..lol

of course... if the flywheel pully was bigger it'd make that one spin faster, but if that one is smaller it would be faster.. hadn't had much sleep at that time.. 
perhaps it does have a higher output per revolution because it spins slower?

here are a few pics of the aircon lines..
i had to bend the metal pipe on the line at the pump a bit to clear the airbox.. but be carefull not to bend it to much as you will end up with a kink in the pipe..
i used a plank of wood and wedged it in between the metal pipe and the block then used another length of wood and wedged it between the chasis rail and the outside of the pipe and leavered it bit by bit trying not to kink the pipe.,.
