Well, things are just getting amazing in the 'I can't believe it' manner. I'm learning a lot about the intricacies of the Opel GT engine and the phenomenal patience of my other half; I had no idea that there was this much disassembly involved in removing the crankshaft. It's been interesting, though, and a good thing with what we keep discovering along the way. Like the alternator not having mounting bolts tightened.
Truly stunning array of sizes (millimeter and standard) in the bolts and screws. On the same part. That aren't supposed to be different. A bad throwout bearing while having a new clutch disc, pressure plate, and transmission seals. Gear shift just goes straight thru a big hole. Period. The exhaust smell is truly lovely. Bolts on water pump weren't replaced with anything odd-sized or different. They were left as they were. With over 30 years of rust.
Needless to say OpelGT Source is going to have a terrific time with my next order.
As soon as I have the crankshaft polished and/or ground I'll give an update. Will have to find out about the bearings. So looking forward to that.
I know I'll get to drive it again someday. Someday.
