Interesting car ramps.. are they nailed together? do you back up on them?

Dave ; sure will buddy; engine is still intact and everything there. Bring a drill and a 1 hole saw if you have one. And yes the dam housing does go behind the back cover. ! lousy bolt. Might even have the o rings seal laying around down stairs. Give a call ,see your email

bump sorry guys trying to get daves attention

It worked, see you tomorrow!

I got tired of my old metal ramps, they hit the front overhand and usually slid forward before the tires got to them. The new ones are 3 layers of scrap 2x8 , some pressure treated, and yes, they're nailed together, they're even cut at a 30 degree angle but it doesn't look like it in the picture. There's even a scrap of 2x4 upright at the end so I don't drive off the other side. The 5" height is just enough for getting to the PS pump.

That ps bracket will be a pain to get off. You have to remove the rear plastic cover for the timing belt assembly and the pulley for the bottom balance shaft before you can take that big bracket apart. You may want to change the timing belt and water pump while you are in there. I have one of those brackets sitting around. Hopefully you will be find one locally but if you don't....

Thanks Andy, but I plan to be up there by noon. The belts are good, They were put on my last engine 15 months ago, at 1500 miles I got the new motor so I guess they were retensioned then, since then they have only gone 900 miles, consider it another retensioning.
